N������� 3, 2010 LETTERS FROM PAGE 4 PAW POWER THANKS YOU! We, here at the Animal Shelter, would like to thank the community of Quartzsite for ALL of the contributions that have been coming in. There are a few special ones we would like to mention because of their heartfelt dedications. One of these donations came to us in memory of her sister, Agnes Knight, who loved animals. Another, thanks to the late Sunny Shackleford, Grand Dog; he will be greatly missed. Although we are not accepting any cats at this time, we are full. We have cats, kittens and puppies coming out our ears. Our greatest need is dry kitten food, wet cat food (Friskies, no fish), puppy food, wet dog food and cat litter (scoopable). We are also accepting any dollar donations. We have a costly project of building a landing and ramp to the office area that meets A.D.A. (American Disabilities Act), so we can invite anybody with a wheel chair or motorized cart to come and volunteer in the office or to look for a pet companion. All money donations can be sent to Willpower, Inc. at P.O. Box 3035, Quartzsite, AZ 85359. Please make a note that it is for Paw Power Animal Shelter, and it will get to us. Thank you, Patty Patton, Animal Shelter Chairperson ZUMBA FITNESS! LOVE IT! Thank you for taking the first Zum- ba Fitness Ò class in Quartzsite. I am thrilled you joined us and love teach- ing all of you. Zumba FitnessÒ recom- mends that you take 3 classes a week if possible. All classes with the excep- tion of at the college are a “drop in” ba- sis. You pay $3.00 a class. I will have punch cards so you may purchase one of those if you don’t want the hassle of paying each time you come. A little helpful info to help you un- derstand the charges at the college. ���.D�����M��������.��� The college gives credit for the Zumba classes so if you are working towards a degree you get ½ a credit. The tuition is figured on AZ fulltime residents $30 and if you are a AZ fulltime resident over age 60 then the cost is $25.50. If you are seasonal then the cost is $33 for under 60 and $28.50 for over 60. If you have an AZ ID (from Parker DOT - they are free) you can use that for proof of residence but it must be over a year old. Next time you are in Parker stop and pick one up and you can use it for classes for next year. Friday, Nov. 5th, Arizona Western College (AWC) is having an Open House, 3-7 and we will be doing a dem- onstration of what Zumba FitnessÒ is. If you can come on out and dance, en- joy the free food and celebrate with the college we will do our demonstration at 5:00. Thanks much, Zumba Jan Stivers, Quartzsit A THANK YOU TO VOLUNTEER ROBBIE ROBERTSON Robbie first volunteered for the Plan- ning and Zoning Commission in April of 2006.
