The Municipal Employee Wellness Program is giving city workers at Fall River's Government Center a chance to get fit and have fun with a weekly Salsa DancerciseŽ group run by Latin Dance Instructor Alan Morton. Employees meet at 5:15 p.m. after work to engage in a 45-minute session that involves stretching and vigorous aerobic exercise. "The music definitely makes it easier," commented Municipal Employee Wellness Coordinator Julianne Kelly who arranged for the program as part of the City's investment in employee health. Employees are also taking part in the city-wide Fitness Challenge which offers low-cost fitness and nutrition activities through Community Development Recreation, the Diabetes Association and the YMCA. A Weight-Watchers group also meets weekly in the City Council Hearing Room and employees are invited to check out free bicycles and helmets for short trips around town. For more information about the Municipal Employee Wellness Program and sign-ups at any time, contact Julianne Kelly at 508-324-2405.
