Take A Break from Sitting and Shake a Leg During the Recreation Zone

by Oral O. Miller

Don't you wish you could stand up, stretch and do something to gently work most of your tired muscles after sitting all day in interesting but long, tiring meetings at the ACB national convention? Now you can! A few years ago ACB initiated Recreation Zone activities several afternoons during convention week to enable you to stretch, exercise those muscles and try out a few new physical activities -- like floor aerobics, goalball, water aerobics and talking darts. Recreation Zone activities will be available again this year during at least three days of convention week, and will include: helpful floor aerobics by ACB's own energetic Jill Tobin of Cleveland, water aerobics under the direction of ACB's own Geraldine Koors (with the assistance of husband Don) of Indianapolis, and beep baseball under the direction of ACB's Houston stars like Dr. Ed Bradley and Michael Garrett. Watch the convention scope and pre-registration material for the afternoon of the activity you want to learn more about or try out. Last year the water aerobics session was so popular that a second session was quickly scheduled for the next afternoon. As Jill Tobin said in agreeing to direct floor aerobics this year, "Wear your exercise clothes or most casual clothing and be ready to have fun!"
