<P><FONT color=#1f497d size=4 face="tahoma, sans-serif">Hi,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#1f497d size=4 face="tahoma, sans-serif">Garrett and I are
working on planning a self-defense course for visually impaired individuals for
the Northern Colorado area. This class is taught by DVR's Adaptive Technology
Specialist, Jim Pilkington. Previous courses in Denver and Colorado Springs have
been well received. The course typically runs in about 5 sessions (so at least 5
weeks), and each session is several hours. We are looking at having this start
in mid-July, and it will be hosted in Fort Collins. We are trying to develop a
list of interested clients, so please let me know as soon as possible if you are
interested in attending this course.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#1f497d size=4 face="tahoma, sans-serif">Thanks,</FONT></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Sorry
about the confusion; I will talk with Lindsey to decide on the first date and
get back to you.</SPAN></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Depending
on the students’ abilities, it will probably require 5 class
sessions.</SPAN></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">In
the Colorado Springs classes, we broke the day up into morning and afternoon
sessions, each running about 2.5 to 3 hours in length.</SPAN></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I’ve
found that a lot of our students have relatively low fitness levels, so spending
this much time on their feet was pushing the limits of endurance.</SPAN></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Please
encourage potential students to exercise in the next few weeks to improve their
general fitness. Any type of Cardio work would be helpful, and let them
know that these classes will require standing and moving on their feet for
periods of 30 to 45 minutes</SPAN></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">This
could be a good excuse to push them toward more physical activity in
general.</SPAN></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Also,
if you could give me a ballpark estimate of the number of participants, ages,
and any health issues that could affect their ability to participate in
class.</SPAN></P>
<P style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 13px"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: Calibri,sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(31,73,125); FONT-SIZE: 11pt">I’m
really looking forward to getting back up to the Fort</SPAN></P>
