Hi Dee...at the beginning of the year, you put a note in your newsletter, asking for Pauzers having fun to let you know what we are doing.  You also requested a photo if available.

About 4 years ago - while STILL hot flashing my way through life, (actually, it has been 14 years thus far) I decided I needed to add more exercise into my daily routine.  I don't like exercising, besides the exertion triggers MORE hot flashes than the 20 -30 I have everyday as it is.  But, I DO love to dance - all kinds of dance, so I decided I would try a Hula class being offered by our Parks and Recreation Dept.  I have continued taking classes along with a group of other women, and according to our instructor - a "Pauzer" herself, we know over 30 dances, Hawaiian as well as Tahitian.
Within the last year or so, a few of us have combined to form our own little group for the purpose of performing at fundraising events etc. - as requested.  We have put on several performances, enjoying the fun, exercise and muscle toning dancing the Hula brings.  We all look forward to our weekly dance classes, performance rehearsal sessions and the "celebrations" we share occasionally - as we have all acquired a new set of friends along with new dancing skills.

Attached is a photo of 2/3's of the group members.  I don't want to identify them specifically, but if you use the photo, please just note that we are all Pauzers, over 55 (except for the slender blonde, second from the right) from the Southern California area.  Our instructor is the dark haired woman in the center.
