[CHANGES] 5 quick things

[Sandra Ahten]

Five Quick Things (mostly) of interest to local subscribers to "Changes")

1) WALK WITH ME. This Saturday at Meadowbrook Park, Urbana 7am. Meet at the 
parking lot at Race and Lincoln at 7am. I'll be walking four miles. You have 
a choice between 2, 3 or 4 miles. I'll have the routes mapped out. I'll lead 
you in a few minutes of easy stretching and maybe some motivation. Cancelled 
in case of rain.

2) EDITING. I'm searching for an editor / proofreader for my "Changes" 
newsletter. As you know, I offer this service for free and so am not able to 
pay except in fawning appreciation.  If you would be willing to do it for 
even a couple of months please let me know.

3) PERSONAL STUFF. My husband Kevin is 700 miles into his 1000 mile bike 
trip. He took a train to Denver and started back home on August 1st. When I 
spoke to him two days ago he said (half jokingly) that he was keeping his 
eye open for a used pickup truck to buy. He has faced winds, more hills than 
he anticipated, heat wave weather, construction and flat tires. The 
desolation of Nebraska forced him to pull his trailer with a flat tire for 
110 miles before he could get a spare. He has also been blessed with nothing 
but kindness from those he has met on his travels. He should be home on 
Friday. I think he's missing me.

4) UPCOMING OPPORTUNITIES.  My first week without Weight Watchers in my 
schedule left a void in one respect, but as the Universe provides, many 
opportunities are quickly bubbling to the surface. Look for an article about 
my art classes in this week's Buzz newspaper. I'll have a booth at the 
Urbana Sweetcorn Festival on August 23. I'm anticipating an show of my 
sculpture at Verde Gallery in Champaign during September.

5) ART CLASSES --
"Collage for the Soul" - I have two openings for a class that starts 
tomorrow. (Tuesday 7-9pm Aug. 12, 26, Sept., 2, 9, 16).
"Drawing On the Right Side of the Brain". Register now.  Mondays and 
Wednesdays 7-9pm, August 25, 27 Sept 3, 8, and 10th.
