About the Friends
Founded in 2018 by Joy of Movement dancers, the Friends have been peer led since that time. In 2024, the Friends leadership chose to transfer organizational responsibilities to the Joy of Movement.
The Friends generally meet every fourth Friday, from 1:30PM until 3PM at the Wellness Center Chapel in Lewis Memorial Christian Village.
For more information, please contact Eve Fischberg at joyofmovement2@gmail.com
Many thanks to Lewis Memorial Christian Village for generously sharing their beautiful Chapel with the Friends.
