UCLA Bringing Volunteers to Mark Twain This Saturday, January 28th
UCLA’s fantastic Volunteer program, One Bus, One Cause, is coming to Mark Twain Middle School on Saturday, January 28th, to revitalize the Learning Garden.
They say they are at capacity for this event and will not be needing volunteers, However, they do still need donations of healthy snacks and beverages. Please contact Marianne Brown to make arrangements (marianne.p.brown @ gmail.com) by Friday at the latest – or just bring your donations to Mark Twain Middle School at around 1pm. Volunteers are meeting at _________
** HEALTHY snacks and beverages….no potato chips, corn chips, donuts, etc., please!
On Sat. 1/28 donations can be made from 9:30 until 1:30. Simply enter through the school gate which will be open w/ signage on Lucille Ave. (street on southside of campus off Walgrove). People can drive through onto the blacktop until they see signs on the left to the garden; and they can park anywhere on the blacktop close to the garden gate. There will be plenty of signage in the garden as the refreshments will be put in a shady place near “registration” probably just inside the gate to the garden.
Thank you, Mar Vista!

Studio MDR Launches BABYlates Workout For Expectant Moms
The Studio MDR recently invited me to try their new BABYlates class for New and Expectant Moms. (And no, I’m Not Pregnant; don’t even ask.) Still, it’s a killer workout, and I get the feeling if I did it all the time, I’d look more like the owner and trainer, Lisa and Jessi, who are amazing – and look amazing, too.
The Studio MDR, in nearby Marina del Rey, uses the Megaformer, a Pilates-inspired machine, similar to the Reformer. They run their SPX classes on this machine and designed the BABYlates class so that pregnant women could utilize the machine and safely get a great workout. The class is held every Saturday at 2pm. See their website for how to sign up.
I really liked the location and the atmosphere at the Studio MDR – and I highly recommend trying it out. Pregnant or not. Male or Female.
