    Monday Sep 23, 2024 12:30 PM to 2:30 PM

    September 9th– Classic Comedy Hour– Green Acres (1965) Starts at 1:30 pm after Trivia. New York lawyer Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Albert) longs for a simpler way of life. So he buys a farm, sight unseen, and moves there to live off the land, much to the chagrin of his socialite wife, Lisa (Eva Gabor). The collision of small-town life and Lisa's sophisticated ways -- she insists on wearing full-length gowns and ostentatious jewelry, even on the farm -- provide much of the humor in the show.

    September 16th–The Fall Guy (2024) After leaving the business one year earlier, battle-scarred stuntman Colt Seavers springs back into action when the star of a big studio movie suddenly disappears. As the mystery surrounding the missing actor deepens, Colt soon finds himself ensnared in a sinister plot that pushes him to the edge of a fall more dangerous than any stunt.

    September 23rd–Argylle (2024) Reclusive author Elly Conway writes best-selling espionage novels about a secret agent named Argylle who's on a mission to unravel a global spy syndicate. However, when the plots of her books start to mirror the covert actions of a real-life spy organization, the line between fiction and reality begin to blur.

    September 30th– Unfrosted (2024)– In 1963, Kellogg's and Post, sworn cereal rivals, race to create a pastry that will change the face of breakfast forever. Starring Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy and Amu Schumer.

Some balance drills and specific exercises will be offered to challenge and improve balance. Light weights, or bodyweight exercises will be used to build strength in the legs, core, and upper body. Stretching routines are incorporated to maintain or improve flexibility, aiding in mobility and preventing muscle stiffness.
