Happy August Everyone!
 
“Another Day another Muscle”
 
Firstly, I wanted everyone to know I have started writing for the Happy Times a small free publication distrubuted throughout Broward County. Watching or reading the news daily will probably depress you, so it’s nice to throw in a little mix of news that is positive, cheerful and well Happy! I will be writing the fitness column there starting in September so let your friends know and pick up a copy when you can.
 
Well some people are complaining about the heat and of course you know the weather is always a minor obstacle as you have no doubt heard me say many times during class. “Some like it Hot.”
 
Well so everyone knows the alibootcamp.com website is up and running. Look for the photo gallery to be added soon where you can go and find yourself taking class when you were probably in the best shape of your life, provided you were consistent of course. More and more content  is being added everyday.  Which leads me to inform you that I buildling the Bootcamp Business Directory now.
 
The businesses/professionals listed have agreed to give anyone from the website a discount on their perspective service or business.
 
Bootcamp will start its Resturant Promotion Parties starting after Labor Day. That is where approximately twice per month you will recieve an invitation e-mail to the Restuarant chosen for you and up to five(5) other people to come enjoy the restuarant and the group for a unique night, (especially after K.C. starts drinking), anyway just R.S.V.P. with Yes or Maybe so we have an estimate of seating. In addition to all that fun every restaurant we visit has agreed to give 10-15% off everyone’s check. “A penny saved is a penny earned.” B. Franklin
 
As the Bootcamp Business Directory comes online we will then embark on Promotional Events at the different establishments and/or services. Some of the businesses do not leand themselves to promtional events but as any good marine would do we will improvise.
 
Class schedules are the same presently but keep in mind there will be no class Saturday August 12, 2006. Out of town. Class picks up Monday August 14th, 2006.
 
Yours in Health,
Ali
