Line Dance Classes

RYGT Step instructors teach line dance classes at Mason Park every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday at Mason Park Community Center.   Class activities will include step-by-step instruction of popular urban line dances, and will begin with a simple basic step to warm up.   Instructors will then go into detailed step-by-step instructions on how to do a specific dance.  Dances will be broken up into short sequences so that class participants will have a better chance of catching on and picking up the steps quickly.  Two dances per night will be taught and lessons will be repeated during each class for an entire month. Anyone having difficulties picking up the steps during the larger group sessions will be taken to the side and instructors will work with them individually or in smaller groups. Classes are open to the public and all Summa Health System employees.        There will be a discounted rate of $2.00 per class for Summa employees, student’s under 18, and seniors.   The rate for all others is $3.00 per class.         

When: Every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6:30pm-8:00pm

Where:(Monday Class) (Tues/Thurs Class) Mason Park Community Center700 E. Exchange St. Akron, OH

Greetings Brothers & Sisters,

As I sit here and reflect on the significance of this day, January 15, 2009, I thought I’d take advantage of this platform provided to us by stewards of Unity365.com to share a few words from the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In his book- “The Measure of a Man “- he wrote these words:

“As we look at man, we must admit that he has misused his freedom. Some of the image of God is gone. Therefore, man is a sinner in need of God’s divine grace. So often we deny this fact. We hate to face it….

….But when we look at ourselves hard enough we come to see that the conflict is between God and man. There is something within all of us that causes us to see the truth in Plato’s statement that the personality is like a charioteer with two headstrong horses, each wanting to go in different directions. There is something within all of us that causes us to cry out with Augustine, “Lord, make me pure, but not yet.”…..

…In our collective lives our sin rises to even greater heights. See how we treat each other. Races trample over races; nations trample over nations. We go to war and destroy the values and the lives that God has given us. We leave the battlefields of the world painted with blood, and we end up with wars that burden us with national debts higher than mountains of gold, filling our nations with orphans and widows, sending thousands of men home psychologically deranged and physically handicapped.

This is the tragic plight of man. As we look at all of that, we know man isn’t made for that….

It seems that I can hear a voice saying to America: “You started out right. You wrote in your Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. But, America, you strayed from this sublime principle……

…Because of this a famine has broken out in your land. In the midst of all your wealth, you are spiritually and morally poverty-stricken, unable to speak to the conscience of this world. America, in this famine situation, if you will come to yourself and rise up and decide to come back home, I will take you in, for you are made for something high and something noble and something good.”
