BPW Meeting Set For May 7

Fitness trainer Karen Finlayson will be the guest speaker when the Newtown Business & Professional Women meet on Monday, May 7, at 6 pm at the Inn at Newtown.

Ms Finlayson is the owner and operator of Karen’s Fitness Studio on South Main Street in the Botsford section of Newtown. She has professional certifications from the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America and the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She also maintains a CPR certification, and is certified to teach prenatal fitness.

At her studio, Ms Finlayson teaches weight training to women and men.

“Each person needs to proceed at their own pace, but the benefits for women have been extraordinary,” she said. “If you want to ward off illness, lower cholesterol, and improve your cardiovascular fitness, think of weight training.”

Also at the meeting will be the announcement of this year’s scholarship winners, the introduction of Jean Leonard, BPW Young Careerist, and the installation ceremony for the new officers of the 2001-2002 Executive Board.
