"Hi Carol
I wondered if you could help me raise awareness of an upcoming event in the UK, to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, which is taking place on 24th-26th October 2008.

This is in memory of Jon Towells dad, Ron, who died last year

This is a 3 day Les Mills extravaganza, with instructors from the UK, USA, Australia the Netherlands and beyond coming to teach and play here in Malvern UK.

We have a website at http://.www.euromad.org and a just giving page at http://www.justgiving.com/euromadiii

We'd really appreciate some support and some exposure for this fantastic event

And you are a popular and avid Les Mills Lady

Thank you so much

Shirley

Hey All, I am so sorry that I was not able to be at the Main Door this time, I had to stay in Texas and could not get away to come up to Colorado which I would of love to visit again. I know the LMSC Quarterly was Awesome because the LMSC Team always goes above and beyond what is expected at a LM Quarterly!
I will post here the Next LMSC Q as soon as I find out where and when it will be.
That way you can plan to be there to Sweat It Up when you STEP IN, so they can TURN IT UP and you can SHOUT IT OUT LOUD!!

Yes, I am a Crazy BodyPumper Instructor and have been for 5+ years and I will not change because I Love what I do and I Love hanging out with other Fun, Energetic and Trustworthy People!!
I Believe in being Humorous but Up Front & Honest with All Instructors and Members at Any Club I teach at and other COOL Les Mills Instructors. This is what Makes a Difference in All our Lives!
I enjoy meeting the Members at the Clubs and seeeing their Commitment to their Personal Workout and to see them help others in the Classes especially the LES MILLS Classes. It's Great to hear their stories of where they have been and what they have gone through and where they will be and what they will Achieve!
On a PERSONAL NOTE:
For 19 Wonderful years (in June) I have been w/ my Lovable & Funny Husband "Graylen" {he was named after a Soap Opera Doctor}, we have only been Married for 14 yrs. (in June) [I had to make sure he was the one]. I still love my Man and I love my 11 year old son "Graylen, Jr" especially when he is asleep! (haha)

*************** WOW A "BIG THANK YOU" to:
Euan & Julia Mackenzie, they are from New Zealand and have been with us LM Instructors at the N. Arlington club for 2 years when we started the LM programs 2 years ago. They live in Austin now but drove up on a Wednesday night, OCTOBER 24th and SURPRISED the H...L out of us by showing up and taking the
B O D Y P U M P & B O D Y F L O W Launch and drove back to Austin after that. Candace and I were jumping and screaming acting Crazy because we were so excited to see them. We forgot to act like adults :-)
Wow, we love you two and you both made our Launch Unforgetable!!
ps: Hey you two, I LOVE my New Zealand t-shirt, I wear it all the time and tell others who gave it to me and where it came from and what it represents!

~ ~ ~ ~ I've been T A G G E D ! by Kristen in Iowa ~ ~ ~ ~
Here are the rules:
A. The rules of the games are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 little-known facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their profiles and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your profile.

1. I was born in France then lived in Louisiana, California and Alaska before moving to Texas.

2. I can tell if some one is not Honest by looking at their facial expressions, body language and choice of words, sadly I have been trained in this for a long time.

3. I just completed the BodyVIVE training on Dec. 2nd with the PHENOMENAL Karen Torrell, the BEST of the Best Trainers, she should be the LM National Program BODYVIVE Coach!!!

4. I will do what it takes to make Others Happy, for example: What is Best for the Club, Members, Instructors & Program. Will not change things for one person but will change things for all, if all benefit from it.

5. I have been skinny all my life until I met my husband, who persuded me that I do not need to teach or workout, little did he know. Gained lots of weight when I had my son and dealt with years of unnessary stress from other people in my job. New Life & Job - Starting to lose weight again, Thank You God!

6. Being a GFC for 8+ years for Big & Small Clubs (not a GFM right now-drama story later) I still remember what a Former GFC that I Admired told me when I first became a GFC:
"You can not make everyone happy -Members, Instructors, Corp.Mgmt. and Owners- but you can do your Best and that's what counts".

So far I "tagged": Tracy, Tara, Kristi, Elizabeth, Candace, Jill, Sarah, Lesly, Jayme, Susan, Becca, Regina, Valerie C., Mandie & Jennifer.
