Seven Lakes Kiwanis

On June 17, the Seven Lakes Kiwanis Club hosted Ray Metzger, PT from Appalachian Physical Therapy, Inc. as its speaker.

As a physical therapist, Metzger works with all people who are striving to rehab injured members of one's body, but also to help reduce the chance of injury that could lead to serious problems and, perhaps, extensive physical therapy at a later time. Metzger's particular "specialty" is working with golfers of all ages who are trying to play this rather difficult game but find that their muscles and joints just don't want to respond to the physical rigors of the golf swing appropriately

Metzger had the crowd out of its seats on several occasions in an effort to demonstrate several aspects of what the golf swing requires of one's body. Most of those attending are golfers, so he created a great deal of interest in some of the things that were mentioned.

The Seven Lakes Kiwanis Club meets every Tuesday at the Seven Lakes CC at noon. Everyone is always welcome.

Health Resources

Health Resources Network, a forum for health care professionals that provides services for seniors, will have its monthly meeting Wednesday, July 16, at Table On The Green at Midland Country Club.

Those interested in attending should call Veronica Sanchez at HomeChoice Network, Inc. at 944-1116.

SCWC

Sandhills Christian Women's Connection hosts its monthly luncheon Thursday, July 17.

"Please wear your red, white and blue as we honor our military ladies," says a spokesman.

Connie Goodrum, of West End, who teaches scrapbook techniques at area scrapbook stores, will share ideas for "scrapping" those memories.

Goodrum cross-stitched and quilted prior to beginning scrapbooking in 2003. She now makes scrapbooks for others who don't have the time or ability. She has also served on the committee for the "Cut Out Cancer Crop" since its inception in 2005.

"Goodrum loves to discover new techniques and teach them to others, so join us as she shares what she loves," says the spokesman.

Providing entertainment this month are Karen Rhea and Amy Ivey. They will perform a medley of patriotic music.

The guest speaker is Cindy Hall of Sanford. She will discuss "Solving Life's Puzzles."

All Sandhills women and their guests are welcome to attend the luncheon held at the National Golf Club in Pinehurst from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Call Joan at 673-5146 or Anne at 215-0074 to make reservations.

"Be sure to let us know if you will be taking advantage of our free nursery," says the spokesman.
