Artemis Dragon Boat Team

We are excited to announce that Artemis will again be helping to sponsor a boat for the Dragon boat festival held on the Burlington waterfront on Sunday, August 7th. Our fearless two co-captains will be Karen Hunt and Deb Rorris. Each boat has 20 paddlers and one drummer and we are hoping many of you will be interested in paddling with us this year. No experience is necessary to paddle but attendance at one practice (held for 2 hours sometime on Saturday 7/16 or Sunday 7/17) and the day of the race is required. There is a fee for this event which covers the training, all the races, and t-shirt and a medal. This is a great event to support Survivorship which provides wellness programs which provides wellness programs for all cancer survivors in our community.

Pelvic Floor Health

Tuesday, November 3rd at 6:30pm
and Saturday November 14th at 11am

Do you ever leak urine when you laugh, sneeze or workout? It’s a common problem for women but it is not normal, and you can get help. Jane Kaufman, owner of Phoenix Physical Therapy will teach us about Pelvic Floor Muscle Anatomy, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and Pelvic Floor Muscle Treatment and Return to Function.

“I have been doing Kegel exercises since my babies were born many years ago. My midwife coached me about how to do them, my doctor checked my tech-nique; they only helped a little bit. It turns out I was doing Kegels wrong all along! Jane Kaufman from Phoenix Pelvic Health did a great presentation on how our pelvic floor muscles work and how to exercise them. I felt the differ-ence right away and am so relieved to have that problem resolved. Thank you, Artemis, for having such good workshops!”

Free for members and $5 for guests.
