The Senior Resource Center is excited to announce a new Chair Yoga class designed specifically for adults age 60 and older.

Chair Yoga is a safe and effective way to build strength, improve flexibility, and enhance overall well-being—without the strain or exertion of traditional yoga. Participants will enjoy calming stretches and simple postures that are accessible to all fitness levels. No prior yoga experience is needed, and all adults age 60 and older are welcome to attend.

Class Details:
• Dates: Mondays & Wednesdays, July 14 – August 20
• Time: 9:30 – 10:45 a.m.
• Cost: $60 for all 12 sessions (checks payable to Senior Resource Center)
• Location: Senior Resource Center Activity Room, 206 E. Stephenson St., Freeport
• What to Bring: A long scarf

The class will be taught by Patricia Kessinger, an internationally certified yoga instructor with more than 30 years of experience in health, nutrition, and fitness. She has taught classes, workshops, and seminars in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Michigan. Kessinger is an experienced fitness coach and personal trainer as well as a yoga instructor, and she’s even managed a multi-million-dollar fitness center.

Pre-registration is required. To sign up, call 815-235-9777 or email Ann Marie at awalker@srcntr.org. A minimum of 10 participants is needed for the class to begin, so invite a friend and join us for this rewarding experience!

It’s summertime, so join John and Laura at the park for our 5th summer of outdoor story times! We will be reading stories, singing songs, and having fun. After the stories, go play on the playground. We encourage you to bring a blanket to make sitting on the grass a little more comfortable.

All of the story times are at Huntley Park at 2nd and Garden Street in DeKalb. Look for us in the southwestern corner.

We will announce on the DeKalb Public Library Facebook page if the program is cancelled due to weather.

For questions or further information, please contact John at johna@dkpl.org or at (815) 756-9568 ext. 3350.

Through the years I have experimented with different forms of 2D and 3D art .Acrylics, oil, charcoal, pen and ink, and watercolor have been my primary painting and drawing mediums; however, my first love is Watercolor.

In terms of competition and recognition I have won several awards, entered numerous art show competitions, and was accepted into the 2018 San Diego Watercolor Society’s International Watercolor Show. I have won awards from shows at The Next Picture Show, Dixon, Illinois, Norris Gallery, St. Charles, Illinois, and Illinois Watercolor Society Member Shows. I am a Signature Member of the Illinois Watercolor Society.

When asked to describe my style I often describe it as “realistic contemporary with an occasional abstract slant”. In short, I want the viewer to see the painting as mostly realistic and be drawn-in to the scene. I enjoy painting Urbanscapes, Abstracts and Rural Landscapes.

Parents, are you looking for fun ways to keep your kids engaged this summer? Bring them to Camp Creativity — a series of interactive activities designed for school-aged children and led by Northern Illinois University students. Fuel your child’s curiosity and watch their creativity come to life!

This program is limited to the first 20 children. Sign-up will begin at the children’s desk one hour before the event.

For additional information, please email Theresa at theresaw@dkpl.org or call (815) 756-9568 ext. 3350.

Draw, craft, or make-and-take and display your creativity at Teen Art Club! We’ll have new projects and art materials to try at every meeting.
