Curdsville plans potluck; yoga class to start

Published 5:09 am Thursday, March 3, 2016

The Curdsville Community Center will hold its first monthy meeting of 2016 on Monday at 6:30 p.m. While there is usually a program, there will be no program during this meeting so everyone will have time to socialize.  The meal is potluck and is always good. 

The Community Center is located at 122 School Road just off of Route 15, 9 miles south of Sprouses Corner and 2 miles north of Sheppards Corner. Everyone is invited to join in the fellowship and enjoy the food.

Beginning Thursday, the CVCHC-Beulah M. Wiley Fitness Center, at 258922 N. James Madison Hwy, New Canton, will offer an integral yoga class at 5:15 p.m. Taught by Heather Nolen, a certified instructor, the class will last about an hour.
