Thursday

• Yoga -- Our certified and insured yoga instructor, Ruth Ward, has requested a small change to our Yoga practice. We will now combine our two classes (Chair and Floor) into a single class held at 1 pm in the Community Center. Our Floor Yoga needs more participants to split the two classes. Let’s try to increase our attendance for Floor Yoga. If you know anyone who likes to practice on a Yoga mat (or Chair, of course), please invite them over. As always, please bring a mat, a strap (you can use an old cloth belt–avoid spending money on a new one), a drink, and wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and shoes. No need to sign up, just come on over.  Hope to see you there. Classes are $5 per person per Yoga session.

Friday

• Happy Hour Friday Night Social -- Meets every third Friday of the month in the Community Center from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Please bring snacks to share and your favorite beverages.  Each month, we will feature a different entrée.  Please sign up in the Community Center on the bulletin board OR call (301) 393-5770 and leave a message to include your name, unit number, and the number attending the social.  The number of attendees will determine the price of the Friday night social dinner. For more information, please contact Judy Whiteside (Unit 66).

Social Committee History

Summerland Manor is a vibrant community that hosts events organized by our Social Committee. According to history, our dear Harry Lorden chaired this club and committee with the assistance of Margaret Pontzer to plan and coordinate social events for the Summerland Manor Community. In 2018, the Board of Directors established a new Social Committee, which nominated Cathy Godfrey and Jane McGrath as co-chairs. From 2024 to present, our co-chairwomen are Judy Whiteside and June Datum. If you would like more information, please reach out to Judy or June.
