• Mat Pilates with Valerie — 9:30 a.m. Tuesdays, Feb. 3, 10, 17 and 24. Mat Pilates is a total body conditioning exercise method combining flexibility and strength, using the weight of the body with control. The benefits are improved balance, posture and overall core strength.
Bring a mat and enjoy the causal setting. The 45- to 60-minute class is taught by Valerie Morgan, a well-trained and certified group exercise and personal trainer for more than 42 years, 32 of those years spent as a manager at a local wellness center. Course costs $10 per person, advance registration required.
• Gloucester Daffodil Club Meeting — 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 12. Gloucester has an ideal daffodil-growing climate, and historic varieties and modern cultivars flourish there. Bulbs planted in the fall can be relied upon to bloom in the spring, and well-tended plantings increase over the years. Membership is open to all interested people.
Four meetings are planned during the year on the second Thursday of February, May, September and November.
