Zoom Physical Fitness Classes to Resume!

Virtual Physical Fitness Classes on Zoom to Resume

The HIANN Board of Directors decided to renew our Zoom Physical Fitness program with a new instructor, Verna Lewis.  Verna has been teaching dozens of classes every month to several different groups.  HIANN Board Member Deborah Lena-Frazier has been attending Verna’s classes - offered through Carson Medical Group - and has enjoyed them immensely.

Before Launching the Zoom classes for HIANN, Verna would like to meet some of the potential HIANN participants in person in order to learn how best to tailor her classes to meet HIANN member needs.  So, there will be a “meet and greet” get together on Sunday, November 16th at 2:00 pm at Frost Yesmer Estates, 1009 E. 5th St., Carson City, NV 89701.

The new ZOOM Physical Fitness classes will be a free program available to all HIANN members and you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your home to get a good workout. To participate, you must be a HIANN member in good standing having paid your 2025/2026  membership dues. 

For more information, please contact Michael Wagoner at HIANN.Michael.W@gmail.com or call/text him at (720) 210-7091.

HIANN Summer Picnic at Bowers Mansion

The HIANN Summer Picnic Returns to Bower’s Mansion 

The HIANN Summer Picnic returns to Bower’s Mansion.  We tried last year but the Davis Fire hit the same day and we had to cancel the picnic so we will be back this year. There is lots of parking and it’s free!  The Comstock Pavilion has seating for 160 so there is plenty of room for serving food and seating.  There is a playground, horseshoe pit and other fun stuff too.  The Mansion should be open for touring as well. Or go for a dip in the pool. Call (775) 849-0201 for more information. 

The HIANN Summer Picnic is on Saturday August 9th.  It starts at 11:00 and we hope to wrap up by 2:00.   HIANN will provide the main dish, which will be Ashton Smith’s homecooked sliders and another dish for those who don’t like beef.  Everyone is asked to bring a side dish or dessert.  If your last name begins with  A - L please bring a side dish or salad and if it begins with M - Z please bring a dessert. 

The Summer Picnic is one of HIANN’s most popular events so be sure to reserve your spot asap. This is one of the few HIANN events where guests can participate at no cost. Contact Michael Hume at (775) 250-6862 or email him at copybuster@yahoo.com to reserve a place for your family and friends.  Great event to invite potential new HIANN members as well.
