We’ve gone greener!


It is an honour to live in such an amazing region, and I consider it my responsibility to keep our city (and country) beautiful, green and clean.
In addition to the recycling program we’ve always had in place, we have recently started a composting program here at YBS. You will find posters and compost bins in each of the washrooms, change rooms and in the reception area explaining the changes with details of how and what to dispose of things! Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this, and feel free to ask any of the staff if you are unclear. We are playing to have less than 10% of what we take to the curb be garbage. It is totally doable with only minor changes in our habits! I hope you’ll join us!

MS Walk Results

 

We had a fun time at the MS Walk on Sunday, April 19. In just a few short weeks, our team raised over $2500! Thank you for your contributions and support. My mother, Margaret Griffiths, sends a message as follows:

 

SARAH’S MOTHER SAYS THANK YOU.

YOGA BY SARAH TEAM, ZEN FRIENDS, RAISES $2300 FOR MS!!

On behalf of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, Niagara Chapter of Hope, a heartfelt thank you to all you generous and energetic yoga-ites for your efforts for the ZEN FRIENDS team. The MS Walk in St. Catharines raised over $150,000 exceeding last year by $1,000. An amazing accomplishment in these difficult economic times!

I am going to proudly claim that it was the new ZEN FRIENDS team, organized by my wonderful children, Sarah and Aaron Giovannone, that put it over the top!

I have been on the Board of Directors of our local Chapter for 4 years. Be assured that the MS Society of Canada and our local organization,the MS Niagara Chapter of Hope, use these funds prudently and effectively. Our local chapter provides services to those living all over the Niagara Region and MS Canada is instrumental in sponsoring the world class research that happens in our country. Canada is a leader in MS research and huge strides are being made in understanding and treating this nasty disease.

Thank you for helping us END MS. It will happen in our lifetime!
