We have lots of equipment and a TV that was donated by the school to haul up the stairs. There will also be taco soup for supper for everyone that helps. If everyone would please pass the word so that we can get a much help as possible.

At the Horizon’s II meeting on January 16th, the discussion of the Fitness Center was discussed.  The site for the fitness center will be in the city building, upstairs from the police station.  We understand that it is not handicap accessible at this site, but it is a starting place so we can get the center going to build up to something accessible to everyone.  Also, at this time, appoximately 9 different pieces of equipment have been donated from as far away as Rapid City.  We still would like to possibly have a TV, a stereo system, exercise mats, a VCR/DVD combo for the center.  If you have anything to donate to help get this project going, let us know by calling or leaving a comment.  The center is planned to be opened on February 1st.

This is one area we still need to continue to work on. So take the time to officially register, then come back login and start blogging!!!

The Horizon’s monthly meeting is scheduled for January 16, 2008 @ 5 p.m.  Bring your ideas.  One of the topics we will be discussing is the fitness center project.  See you all there.

The Faith Horizons group has seen an interest in promoting better health for our community. For a starting block the committee would like to open a small fitness center for the community to use. Memberships will be available at a minimal cost with all proceeds going towards building a large fitness center for everyone to use and enjoy. We are asking for assistance from the community members to donate equipment for the fitness center. The center will be available flexible hours for your use. For more information or to donate a piece of equipment for the fitness center please contact: The City of Faith at 605-967-2261 or Sandy Rasmussen 967-2585.
