Tuesday Tip of the Day

 

It's that simple!

Tuesday Tip of the Day

It's been a good while since we've shared a tip.  The tip for today is very simple. 

 

Pay it forward.

 

Give back.

 

Many ask why we teach for FREE, well there you go.  We enjoy what we do and it's our opportunity to give back to the community.

 

With that being said, there is an event this weekend that Liu Vakapuna, a couple other EMZ instructors and myself are helping out with.  It's a fundraiser to help 14 year old Naomi Soifua get to the qualifying golf rounds of the U.S. Women's Open.  Come out and join us for 2 hours of Zumba, Hot Hula & Hot Fusion.  If you can't make it but would like to donate, click on this LINK to do so.

 

Hope to see you there!!!

 

 

Challenge Results

Wow, this morning was an amazing sight!!!  Thank you to all who came out!!!  

Many thanks to Mafi Misinale (Mama Ruby), Heamoni Filimoe'atu (Aunty Moni), Ongo Lapuaho and all who helped out in the kitchen with today's breakfast.

Also many thanks to our building keepers Caralee Hand & Melini Tukuafu for getting there early to let everyone in...every day Monday to Friday.

Results are in for our Attendance Challenge as well as our Weight Loss Challenge.

Side note:  entry for both challenges - FREE.

Each participant that turned in their Attendance Card received the following:

Water bottle, cd with "EMZ" song & two "I love EMZ" wristbands.

Participants:  Daniela Alva, Maria Aguayo-Lopez, Mele Halaeua, Marisela Rodriguez, Alma Ruza, Cecy Andrade & Caralee Hand.

We had an 8-way tie for 100% attendance.  They received the following:

A towel, two "I love EMZ" wristbands, one FREE class to our Studio Azul class, cd with "EMZ" song, water bottle, $5 gift certificate towards EMZ Wear, Fiber One bar & an "emz crew" t-shirt.

Winners:  Maria Moreno, Martha Loera, Daniel Flores, Paula Avelar, Miguel Gonzalez, Jeff Curry, MarySue Floisand & Luseane Taufui.

Due to the tie, we thought it would only be fair to have a raffle for a grand prize (a Zumba bag & $25 gift certificate for www.zumba.com).

For our Weight Loss Challenge, we had two groups (male & female).  Two winners from each.  One winner for the highest percentage loss & another for highest weight loss = a possibility of 4 winners.

For the men's, only one came back to weigh in.  Congratulations to Daniel Flores!!!

For the women's, we had several come back and weigh in.  It was pretty close.  Congratulations to Heidi Haas!!!

*If any of you want the stats from the weight loss challenge, please email us at theemzcrew@gmail.com.*

Both winners received everything the 100% attendee's received and instead of a $5 gift certificate, they received a $25 gift certificate & a 4 FREE pass to Studio Azul's night class instead of the single pass.....AND they received this:

Without the instructor's knowledge, there was a prize for the instructor with the most days attending.

The winner:  Dana Rossi

She received a gift card to Target.

Again, many thanks to all who help make EMZ possible & keep it going.

Until next week...ciao!!! 

Have a good weekend!
