Wake up. Work out. DONE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KKltxVko4w This is a core strength workout. We do boot camp style exercises, so think pushups, situps, planks, squats, burpees, etc. There's a lot of smiles and laughing involved, too... (and the high fives will come back as we leave the COVID era behind!) Not sure how to do burpees? Pike jumps? Dragon Pushups? That's fine! We'll teach you. This is an awesome way to rock your body and get fit fast. We welcome all fitness levels! Even if you have not worked out in years we want you to join us. Working out with fun, encouraging people in a group setting is better than trying to do this all on your own. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME!

Join the coffee lovers as we head to Twin Elephant Brewing Co in Chatham, NJ for trivia! There will be elephant, beer, music, themed questions mixed into current events, geography, movies, TV etc. There will also be Twin elephant related topics such as history and beer questions. Unfortunately the brewery asks for the teams to be capped at 6 people - we may need to form 2-3 teams if we get a large group of attendees. 5 rounds of questions with a final round. You may order / bring food to the brewery; sometimes there is a food truck present on site. Parking is available on site. See you soon!

All players must RSVP. Please be on time (i.e. arrive 10-20 minutes early)! Everyone must bring their own light and dark shirt (no greys or in-between pastels). No sliding tackles No studded cleats (flats or turf shoes only) No bad attitudes - we play hard, but we all just want to have fun and get some exercise. It ain't that serious ;) Please bring $3 cash to pay at the game - there's no venmo account dedicated to the group.

**Join us to learn about our recent publication and training in:** **What are Community Food Forests?** Producing more of our food with tree-based agriculture will nourish and heal more people and more land in a shorter amount of time and with longer-term benefits than we have been able to achieve with conventional agriculture over the past 150+ years. **Community Food Forests** combine and reinvent ancient practices of Agroforestry and Agroecology to produce food in ways that regenerate human and ecological health. It is estimated that at one time Earth supported as many as 6 trillion trees, and that number has been reduced by roughly half since “modern” human civilization emerged over 10,000 years ago and converted land for agriculture and urbanization. At an estimated net loss averaging 10 billion trees per year due to ongoing deforestation, we are on track to further reduce that number by half, leaving just 1.5 trillion trees, or one quarter of the natural living forests that evolved as the lungs of this living Earth.
