Community Yoga donations


Sunday, September 11 was the last day of our community yoga classes to benefit the Red Cross Japan Earthquake Recovery Fund. Thanks to our wonderful new teachers, Alicia, Allan, Anna, Irene, Joanna, Karen, Matt and Stephanie, who taught these classes beginning in May. They raised $521 for charity. With an added donation from Blue Point, our community will be sending $1000 to help the people of Japan. The earthquake and tsunami might seem a long time ago, especially with the events and storms of the summer much more fresh in our minds, but there is still a long way to go to rebuild after the devastation Japan experienced in the spring.

Click below for a recent article about the Red Cross' recovery efforts in Japan, and the programs that our community is helping to support.

Red Cross recovery in Japan

Without the enthusiasm and support of the teachers and students at Blue Point, this would not have been possible. Thank you all for your kind donations of time and money.
