- (ORB HOOPS BUILT ONLY by YOU) (this is from Jill)
May 24th - time TBD: Come enjoy the wonderment of the beloved and
ancient art form which is hula hooping. Everyone will learn how to
build a hula hoop (specifically made for their body and hooping
preference)and then customize there own hoop with décor (probably the
funnest part besides the actual hooping). After the hoops are built
and decorated, we will hit the backyard to get a basic hoop lesson
(from me) and then hoop the day away with music and snacks and stuff.
This is open to all YAG boys and girls. If you are interested in this
hooping experience, please email me ASAP at jillrgallo@yahoo.com with
what time you can meet and what color(s) you would like your hula hoop
to be. Once we have a group together, we can decide on an exact time.
The cost will be around $10(for supplies) I will be placing a tape
order in the next week or so, so please get me your tape requests
ASAP.
