Explore new and interesting titlesReading is an inherently solitary endeavor, let’s get together a group of people who love to read, then, have a discussion on whatever topics are provoked by our selection.
This group was started with three ideas in mind; it would be great to be able to talk over books and ideas with others; it’s good to be challenged to read a book you otherwise wouldn’t; it’s nice to spend time with people who are interested in the same things you are.

Our goal is to help participants build muscle mass and muscle strength, increase flexibility and endurance and improve functional ability. Additional goals include reducing the severity of therapy side effects, preventing unwanted weight changes and improving energy levels and self-esteem. A final goal of the program is to assist participants in developing their own physical fitness program so they can continue to practice a healthy lifestyle, not only as part of their recovery, but as a way of life.
In addition to the physical benefits, the program provides participants a supportive environment and a feeling of community with their fellow survivors, Y staff and members. Y cancer exercise trainers work with each participant to fit the program to their individual needs. Trainers are trained in the elements of cancer, post rehab exercise and supportive cancer care. Classes will be offered weekdays with daytime and evening classes.
