Big Bear Singles Mixer Summer Calendar of Events!

Here is the Big Bear Singles Mixer Summer Calendar of Events! YAHOOO!!!!

Also listed below are some cool happenings around town, but not Singles Mixer events.

We have new members, so I hope you can make some of the events! Please help get the word out - please post and pass along these dates so others can find out about our great group.

Also - a few people made requests for a BBQ, cooking class (with wine tasting) and more hikes - is anyone willing to help host? (That means helping pick a date and location and just showing up to greet people. If not, we will have to skip those for now.)

Note: A few events are an activity and then a meal. If you only want to do one or the other (like just the meal) that is ok!

Other Cool Happenings:

KaYoga Classes - {kay-yoh-guh} - Movements for Paddlers - Wednesdays 5:45-7pm at Equada Yoga in the Village. www.equadayoga.com $12. The blending of yoga and Kayaking is complimentary - both work on motion with stillness, flexibility with strength and connection with the breath. The emphasis of the Kayoga class is to create flexibility and strength in your arms, shoulders, back muscles, hips and legs. Yoga poses will help you to sit comfortably in your kayak or canoe. The class will also be working on body rotation the secret to paddling. Prior paddling experience is not necessary for this class. If available please bring a paddle (canoe or kayak) and enjoy.

Sol Foods Underground - Many of you know, love, and miss the retail store of Sol Foods. Well, they are changing things around but are still in our community to bring us healthy and locally-grown foods and events. They are still offering some foods and I hear a rumor that they are even going to host special dinners! I think the best way to contact them is email at solfoodmarket@gmail.com.

Kayak Classes - In addition to our wonderful class in August, North Shore Trading Company is hosting one kayak class per month. $25 per class, $25 for boat rental. RSVP required. (Same info as above.) Dates: June 12, July 11 (at PaddleFest), our date of August 7, and September 18. Meet at 8:30am, 9am in the water.

Big Bear PaddleFest - A festival of clinics and races for kayaks and canoes on the North Shore of Big Bear Lake, hosted by North Shore Trading Company. For two days in July (10-11), paddlers can test their stamina at 6700', take beginner through advanced clinics, and learn about the latest in paddling gear from vendors and sponsors. Lots of folks who enjoy the outdoors - great way to meet people. http://www.bigbearpaddlefest.com/

USARC (United States Adaptive Recreation Center) is a great group looking for volunteers this summer - I met tons of people volunteering for their group. They work with schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers and park and recreation departments to serve children and adults with all types of cognitive or physical disabilities. They teach them to water-ski, fish, sail, kayak and jet-ski in the summer! More info online at http://www.usarc.org/

Kittens for Adoption! - Ok, so not really a happening! :-) One of our members has 4 rescued kittens for adoption. She is asking an adoption donation fee. Email me if interested. bigbearsinglesmixer@gmail.com
