Jazzercise class to benefit Women of the Summit
Local Jazzercise instructor Barbara Winch is offering a class this Sunday, Feb. 28 to benefit Women of the Summit. Proceeds will go to scholarship funds for graduating senior high school girls in Summit County.
Winch said she came up with the idea for the class after joining Women of the Summit last April. She hopes to raise at least $500 toward the fund.
“I hope we’ll get a nice turnout and people will have fun with the class,” Winch said.
The class is available for a suggested donation of $15. Located at the Summit County Community and Senior Center in Frisco, doors open at 2:30 p.m. and the class is from 3–4 p.m.
Bring comfortable exercise clothing, sneakers and water. For more information, contact Winch at barbarawinch100@gmail.com.
