Although traffic into downtown Columbia had been slow due to a morning train parked on the tracks, several fun events were on the schedule, such as water aerobics, a yoga class, a spanish class, a zumba class, a jazz dance class, a board meeting, plus a Golden Kiwanis meeting.
When people arrived the front desk attendant Geneva greeted them with her typical cheery "Good Morning!" salutation. Class members Rosemary, Michael, and Maxine got their heart rates up boogying to the song "Livin la vida loca", which was vibrating through one part of the building. Elsewhere people stretched the lotus pose and quietly chanted "ohmmmmmmm".
Students of spanish recited themes on weather (Hace calor=It is hot) while the Golden K Kiwanis enjoyed morning refreshments of biscuits and coffee, listening to a guest from Charlotte, NC speak on the topic of helping children to learn to read.
