The Village of Pingree Grove is an awesome place to live. There is a reason that so many of us move here and recruit our loved ones to move here. Our ever-growing population of PG residents pride themselves in being involved in the community - and the rec center is a HUGE hub for everyone.  The fitness classes and Inspirations are so important to our residents.

Our talented fitness instructors - Amy, Michelle, Juanita, Jess, Christine, and Edith -  are eager to teach fitness classes to the residents of Pingree Grove. The instructors are willing to teach classes outside in designated open spaces. Many of the our instructors are willing and eager to conduct classes in the community pool. As the CDC states, outdoor classes would be more safe than opening the fitness room. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/personal-social-activities.html 

Inspirations Dance should also be able to hold classes outdoors.  Kids from all over PG attend classes with Miss Gwen and her awesome team.  Her relationships with so many of the children have already suffered enough.  The classes that were in session at the COVID break never were able to finish their routines nor have their much anticipated recital. 

Together with the CLCC front office staff, the instructors are willing to implement the recommended safety measures as outlined by the CDC and the World Health Organization.

Cambridge Lakes residents have been paying, in part, to utilize an institution that is not fully available to them. Past services should be included in the "re-opening" of CLCC. It is vital that your constitutes return to some sort of normal routine.

We expect you, as our governing board, to allow outdoor fitness classes to be held by our loyal and talented instructors. We also expect you to be in favor of holding Inspirations Dance classes outside for our children who need some normalcy. It would be tragic to lose our treasured instructors to facilities that are open.

Thank you for your time.
