Sports and fitness has come to the fore in April Sound and is growing by drives, lobs, laps, stretches, walks/runs and now booty shaking! Golf, tennis, water aerobics and swimming are thriving, but now some new fitness activities have been added. Joey Branham, Director of Golf wants everyone to know about the April Sound Cup, (this year dubbed Luau on the Lake) which is scheduled for Sept. 21, 22, and 23. The golf tournament, open to members and guests, all required to have a verifiable USGA approved handicap, will be a 2-Person Modified Stableford Point Quota beginning with a practice round on Friday afternoon, first round play on Saturday and final rounds on Sunday. Dress all week-end is tropical attire, and each participant and a guest will be invited to attend the April Sound Luau planned by the Clubs Social Committee at 6:30 PM on Sunday evening. By the way, have YOU made your table reservations for that event? Remember, the Luau is open to ALL April Sound residents and guests, not just the golfers. There will be Hawaiian food and drinks, fire dancers and hula girls!

Ben and Lisa Hearn and Jodi Grubb, members of the Social Committee chaired by Laney Whiteman, have been planning the first ever April Sound Fun Run which will be held on Saturday morning, Oct. 13 beginning at 9 a.m. This family event is open to everyone (entry fee of $5. for adults and $3. for children) and the Bearbackers Booster Club of Montgomery High School will be the beneficiary of proceeds from the Run. Dogs and strollers are welcome, too! Be sure to plan to run/walk the Boulevard course and join in on all the festivities and fun!

Led by certified Zumba instructor Roxanne Guest, participants will incorporate fitness exercises into a combination of meringue, reggaetone and salsa that make everyone laugh, smile, and let loose! You can Zumba on Tuesday at 5:00 PM and Saturday at 8:00 AM. Go April Sound and remember, all these classes are complimentary with your Club membership!
