Security Updates

vinnie_mall

Mall Security is there for us, for our security, and also, of course, for mall safety in general.  We need to cooperate with them to make their job easier and the mall safer for all.

PLEASE

Dillard's Door Only --
One door only opens a little before 8 am.  Please do not let anyone in any other door.  This is the only control Security has on who is in the mall, it protects us all.  (If this is a problem for anyone, please talk to Coordinator Kristen about special arrangements to meet your needs.)

See Something; Say Something --
If you see any unusual activity in the mall during exercise hours, please report it.  Our many eyes can help Security protect the mall and us from intruders who may be trying to steal.  You can reach Mall Security with your cell phone at: 209-477-8810.

 

The Weberstown Shuffle Continues

vinnie_mall

Making the Best Possible Use of the Space

Master Tam's Advanced Tai Chi

M, W, F in the Center Court, except when it's in use for holidays (think Santa & Easter Bunny) when his group will move to Penneys, and
Tu, Th at Dillards

Sifu Judy's Tai Chi

M-F at Dillards

Kristen's Line Dance

M, W, F at Penneys, as needed.  (Just stop and grab me when you enter at Dillards.)

All groups need to be aware that walkers are doing a 1/2 mile loop that extends into all corners of the mall, so leave them a little path please.

Hope this makes sense!

More Taiji at Weberstown

vinnie_mall

Welcoming Master Tam and Sifu Judy back to Weberstown starting Monday, March 28.

Master Tam's group (8-9 am) practices more advanced forms, including sword and fan.  Sifu Judy's group (9-10 am) practices 24, 40, 42, 88 and Sun style 73, with lots of detailed review of specific postures.

Remember:  ONLY the Dillards door is open before 10.

BIG CHANGES COMING TO SHERWOOD and WEBERSTOWN

vinnie_mall

Sherwood is being reimagined as an outdoor plaza, to be known as SHERWOOD PLACE,  instead of an indoor mall.

We're not sure how this will impact walkers and exercise groups, but we want to be sure everyone has a safe - and dry - place to come in the morning, regardless of weather.

 

Please watch the mall walk calendars to discover changes in where/when some groups are meeting as changes are likely.

At Weberstown, for your safety, only ONE DOOR opens early -- 8 am.  Enter at Dillard's, by the Mall's beautiful mural.

 

Weberstown offers walkers a 1/2-mile long LOOP, including (optional) suggestions for a few calisthenics as you progress around the mall.

Thursday Buffet CANCELLED — new mask mandate

vinnie_mall

Here's grim reminder that Covid is still with us, and we're all in this together.

The buffet is being canceled, for now, because one of our members has been exposed and tested positive.

No reason to panic.

But every reason to play it even more safe until enough people are vaccinated to stop these variants.

Thank you to all who are vaccinated.

  • Get boosters too.
  • Wear masks.
  • Wash hands.
  • Think positive, and send positive thoughts to all who are
    still fighting this disease.

We will get through this with patience, and everyone doing their part.

Exercise groups are continuing.  Social distancing, please.

Be advised:
MASK MANDATE is back.

Tight fit, and please, cover both mouth and nose.  Be Safe!

Holiday Buffet with Covid Care

vinnie_mall

All are Invited

This year's holiday celebration is being hosted by Sifu Judy's group at the Sherwood Food Court on December 16.  While this is not exactly an exercise activity it's a great opportunity to get to know some of the people behind the faces we see so often.  We hope you'll join us.

Our hosts understand that Covid is still with us, and have suggestions (see below) for ways we can all help to make our event both joyful, and safe.  Please review the invitation and take special care to be part of the solution :-).

Holidays are upon us.

Santa will soon set up at . . . DILLARD's and FOOD COURT

Not to worry!  Regular walking and exercise programs will continue through most of the holiday season.

Here are some notes for Weberstown:

  • Door near Dillard's will continue to open at 8.
  • Starting November 18 exercise programs will temporarily move to Sears entry.  Enjoy a morning stroll by the tree in the center court to join us.
  • Watch the Weberstown calendar at the website for those few days when the mall will be closed (or open only for shopping) -- no walking or exercise.

Meanwhile at Sherwood holiday arrangements are also underway.  Santa's Cottage is being erected behind the Food Court, and a tree near Dick's.

  • Dancing will continue at Dick's.
  • Taiji has moved towards the Pershing entrance while Santa's Cottage occupies the space near the Food Court.
  • Watch the Sherwood calendar at the website for those few days when the mall will be closed (or open only for shopping) -- no walking or exercise.
