He spent years quietly honing his talents behind his bedroom door, listening to records by Stevie Wonder, Al Green, Sly & The Family Stone, and Ray Charles on repeat. At the age of 22 a candid video recorded by his sister of him performing the Ray Charles’ classic “Hit the Road Jack” went viral on YouTube, and with the help of Reddit.com garnered over 400,000 views overnight. His YouTube channel now has over 11,000 subscribers and over 1.9 million views, and his four-piece outfit, The Lamont Landers Band has since become a staple in college towns and performs across the southeast bringing their joyful noise of Soul, Funk, and R&B to audiences of all sizes. The Band includes members: Jordan Lamont Landers - Lead Vocalist/Guitar; Kevin Canada – Keyboardist; Bowen Robertson – Drums; and Curtis Comack – Bass.Gates open at 6 p.m.; Entertainment begins at 7 p.m.; fireworks begin at 9 p.m. The rain date is Wednesday, July 5th.

ZUMBA GOLD - THE FUN WORKOUT FOR ANYONE ANY AGE ANY ABILITYZumba Gold was designed for the older active adult, a person who hasn’t been exercising in a long time or individuals who may be limited physically. The biggest difference between Zumba Gold and Zumba basic is that Zumba Gold is done at a much lower intensity. It’s just as much fun, just not as fast! Zumba Gold utilizes the same great Latin styles of music and dance that are used in the Zumba basic program, including the Salsa, Cha-Cha, Rock ‘n Roll and Merengue. The Zumba Gold program strives to improve balance, strength, flexibility and most importantly, the heart. When you take the Zumba Gold class, be sure to wear comfortable workout clothing, take water and a towel, along with a “ready to party” attitude!

SEATED ZUMBA GOLD Zumba movements are designed to mimic many typical Latin dance styles like salsa, rumba, and cumbia. Although traditionally many of these dances require use of your entire body, they can easily be adapted for people with mobility challenges. Many movements can be done with the upper body from a seated position in a wheelchair. Because so many different styles of music are usually incorporated into typical Zumba classes, participants join into the motions they feel most comfortable with. This class is a great way to strengthen the upper body as well as the lower extremities such as ankles and feet (if able). The class can be taken from your own wheelchair or from a regular chair. Chairs will be provided. FREE to the public.Age(s) Day(s) Date(s) Time(s) Location50+ R 9/7 – 11/30 9:30 - 10 a.m. HCContact: Gabby Meredith • (334) 501-2946 • [email protected]

YIN YOGA FOR HEALTH AND HAPPINESSYin Yoga is a little different than the “typical” yoga class. It is a more passive yoga class where we learn to relax our muscles in order to improve the health of our joints, ligaments, fascia, and all other connective tissues that normally are not exercised in traditional exercise. Please let the instructor know of any injuries or concerns as she may need to modify a pose to meet your specific needs. Yin Yoga is recommended highly if you are over the age of 35 as it helps to keep the connective tissues, joint, and other aspects of the body in proper alignment and good health as we age. Yin also teaches breathing techniques that help improve mood, sleep, and mobility. This is an all levels class from beginners to advanced. Please bring your own yoga mat and towel. $5/class.

Although most people say that Hand and Foot is best played by four people in partnerships, it can also be played by six in two teams of three, or by any number of people playing as individuals.

It became a ghost town shortly after the Civil War. Today it is an important archaeological site and a place of picturesque ruins. Nature has reclaimed much of Old Cahawba, but historians and archaeologists from the Alabama Historical Commission are working hard to uncover Cahawba’s historic past and to create a full time interpretive park.

SEPTEMBER 29TH: SIFAT AROUND THE WORLD AND GLOBAL FEAST, LINEVILLE, ALThe idea of SIFAT (Servants in Faith and Technology) was conceived in the jungles of Bolivia in 1976 when Ken and Sarah Corson and their four children moved to Sapecho to be pastors of a Bolivian Church. Realizing that the homesteaders there needed more than spiritual nourishment, Ken and Sarah began to work in integrated development with the people of the village. In 1979, the Corsons returned to Alabama and established SIFAT as a training center for meeting basic human needs. SIFAT has extended its training ministry to all ages through campus programs, international mission teams, seminars and conferences. Around the World is an interactive day-trip where we are provided with an opportunity to participate in hands-on activities with an international perspective, while focusing on the geography and cultural studies of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The goal is to help people from different countries, cultures and social classes understand each other and work together. We will conclude our visit with a global feast.

In 2005, the course was cited by Golf Digest in their rating of Auburn as the “best golf city in America”. It is a par 70 course with summer bermuda grass and a bentgrass/ryegrass mix in the winter.

The course was redesigned in 1999. After fire destroyed the old clubhouse, a new clubhouse was constructed in 2006. Indian Pines hosts the Indian Pines Invitational, an amateur tournament drawing 200 participants and sponsored by Miller Lite.

AACT “BOB: A LIFE IN FIVE ACTS”Bob: A Life in Five Acts is a fresh, recent play written by Kentuckian Peter Sinn Nachtrieb. The play, an epic-scale comedy, spans America in its scenes and tells the life of an orphan Everyman, Bob. Bob, the child of circus performers, was abandoned at a White Castle diner. We follow Bob across America from infancy to middle age, from boxcars to mansions, in a quest for happiness and wisdom – involving dozens of crazy characters and thousands of hard highway miles. One actor plays Bob; four other actors, (two men and two women) will play at least five parts each, so actors perform lightning-quick character changes. Bob combines a wild satire of American self-reliance with a kaleidoscopic vision of American popular culture. The play is the best possible version of zany: it is surreal, but it is about real, believable people! $10/Adults, $8/Students and Seniors. Tickets can be purchased and reservations made at auburnact.org.Age(s) Day(s) Date(s) Time LocationAll JDCACPerformances RFSA 11/2 – 11/4 & 11/9 – 11/10 7 p.m. Matinee SU 11/5 & 11/12 2 p.m. Director: Phillip Beard • (334) 559-9419 • [email protected]

AACT ANNOUNCES OPEN AUDITIONS FOR “BOB: A LIFE IN FIVE ACTS”Needed: 3 men, 2 women. Funny people who want to act, dance a bit, and do physical comedy! The play is a great opportunity for comic actors to be uninhibited and creative – in voice and movement! One actor will play Bob; each other actor will play at least five parts, so actors will have to be adept at quick character changes. Nachtrieb calls the four actors (other than Bob) a “chorus” in the manner of classical Greek plays, and they function as such, narrating Bob’s life, but more importantly: these actors play up to 30 different roles! Sets and costumes will likely be minimal, so set and costume changes will be brisk and challenging, but not on a Cher-in-Las-Vegas scale. The play is bright-spirited, fun, and fast-moving, but there is some adult language and situations; the characters need to be played by actors who are at least 21.Ages Day(s) Date(s) Time Location21+ JDCACAuditions MT 8/28 & 8/29 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. Callbacks W 8/30 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.Rehearsals MTWR 9/4 – 10/24 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.Build SA 10/28, 10/29 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.Tech+Dress MTW 10/30 – 11/1 6 – 10 p.m.Director: Phillip Beard • (334) 559-9419 • [email protected]
