Phoenixville Fitness Professional Accepts Mentorship with the owners of a Top 10 Gym in America!
Do you have anywhere between 5, 10, 25 or more pounds of fat to lose, but can't seem to find an easy way to do it? Did you notice that it says fat, not weight! Well the answer is here! Jen Brango, owner of Only Results Fitness and Great Valley Adventure Boot Camp, have been studying alongside some of the best minds in fitness to help each client achieve the fat loss results they desire. According to Jen Brango, “Anyone can lose weight through fad diets or supposed miracle pills, however, these methods do not change your body inside and out. The key to improving your health is changing your body composition which can only be achieved by changing your lifestyle with a customized approach for each individual. One size fits all programs do not work to achieve permanent results.”
The programs at Only Results were designed to allow you to keep your muscle mass and only lose fat. Are your workouts and diet not leading to a leaner, stronger body? In an effort to bring cutting edge physical fitness and fat loss programs to the Delaware Valley, Only Results Fitness applied for and were accepted into a yearlong mentorship with Rachel and Alwyn Cosgrove, owners of Results Fitness in Santa Clarita, CA. You see, Rachel and Alwyn are two of the most in-demand and exciting coaches, writers and speakers in the fitness industry today and their facility is consistently ranked as One of the Top 10 Gyms in America. If you read Men’s Health, Women’s Health or countless other publications chances are you have read articles written by them and you may have even done one of their workouts at the gym.

Camphill Village Kimberton Hills presents Noah and the Flood and Everyman

Pennsylvania Library Association Asking For Your Help
Received this last week:
Good afternoon, library advocates.
As we head into busy season for the next state budget, the Pennsylvania Library Association asks that you be in touch with your state legislators and the Governor to urge their support for level funding for library services next year.
We recognize that it has been a difficult few years for our nation’s economy and for Pennsylvanians in need of work. No group understands this better than our libraries whose staff and volunteers have done their level best—even in the face of reduced budgets—to meet the increasing need for services, especially for people searching and applying for work or job training. Just consider, between 2006 and 2010, increased demand for library services showed:
- Library visits, up 4%
- Number of books and DVDs lent, up 6%
- Attendance at library programs, up 9%
- Computer searches in library databases, up 50%
- Number of items shared among libraries, up 58%
- Number of digital items opened and examined, up 72%
- Number of reference questions answered via “Ask Here PA,” up over 400%
This year, we do not seek full restoration of funding, even though the case for restoration is strong. We recognize that the effects of recession persist in PA and that the state budget is out of balance. At the same time, having lost more than 35% of state support since just 2008, librarians and library workers (those still working and those who were laid off) have already shared fully in the fiscal pain of this recession.
Today we simply ask that the consequences of the funding losses since 2008 not be worsened by an additional 5% loss. Instead we respectfully request that library funding be maintained at 2011-12 levels so that libraries can strive yet again to meet increased demand and continue to provide the best quality services possible despite funding that has already been cut more than 35%.
Please visit http://www.capwiz.com/ala/pa/home/ for more information and a sample email message that you can edit and send to your state senator and state representative, and to the Governor as well. We know that we can make a big difference when we join together in a common mission and message.
We trust that better days lie ahead. We hope and expect that a time for repairing the state’s support for libraries will come, and that libraries can and will play a vital role in moving PA Forward.
Thank you for your great support for libraries and for your help in spreading the word and contacting your elected officials. Stay tuned for more information and updates in the weeks ahead.

Camphill Kimberton celebrates AmeriCorps Week with a Community Volunteer Day
This is a great opportunity to learn more about Camphill Kimberton and AmeriCorps while giving back to your community. Come experience a day of work on this 432-acre biodynamic farm and help with invasive species removal, estate work and orchard maintenance.
AmeriCorps offers opportunities for adults of all ages and backgrounds to serve through a network of partnerships with local and national nonprofit groups. AmeriCorps week recognizes the commitment of AmeriCorps members and alums by highlighting the extraordinary impact they make across our nation every day. Each year, Camphill Kimberton is host to approximately 20-25 young adults who receive a year-long intensive, hands-on experience living and working in this community that includes adults with developmental disabilities. Of this group, half are AmeriCorps participants.
Volunteers are asked to bring their own lunch and shovels, gloves and trowels, if able. Some amazing snacks - made at Camphill Kimberton - will be served. If attending, please RSVP to shaylyn.decker@gmail.com. Volunteers should meet at Rose Hall at noon. Work will happen rain or shine.
Camphill Village Kimberton Hills is located at 1601 Pughtown Road, Kimberton, Pa. Follow signs for Rose Hall, located at the top of the hill on Camphill Drive.
