Multi-Level Line Dancing features both beginner (9 - 10:30 am) and intermediate (10:30 am - 12 pm) line dances all for one low price - dance as long as you like for only $6!
Join Cheryl Wynn, DPT from Thomas Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy, at the S.R. Perrott Pavilion on Wednesday, September 29 from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm for this FREE interactive sports workshop on "Preventing & Rehabbing Common Pickleball Injuries." Cheryl will address preventative and rehabilitative solutions for pickleballers' most common areas of concern: elbows (tennis elbow), wrists, knees and ankles. Learn how to steer clear of the injury bug and, if you're dealing with issues already, how to get back to optimal health.
Register by visiting or calling the Welcome Desk (386-310-7067) or by emailing Rynn at rynng@pictona.org.
What's one of the best benefits of being in the Pictona Garden Club? Going on field trips! On Saturday, September 11th, the Pictona Garden Club traveled down the road to Port Orange to tour Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens. Nestled away on ten acres in a Port Orange neighborhood just off Nova Road, DSMG is a historical site as well as botanical gardens. Pictona gardeners learned about the rich history of the site (including its brief stint as the Bongoland amusement park - look out for the dinosaurs!) while enjoying a guided tour of the many different gardens and plant collections. It was a fun morning with a wonderful group of people!
All are welcome in the Pictona Garden Club. If you're interested in learning about the Club and joining us in future activities, contact Rynn at rynng@pictona.org.
We invite you to check out our Fall class offerings. All are welcome!
