My Fantasy Football Draft is coming up next Tuesday. Any experts out there have some good tips? Any phenomenal draft kits that I need. I have the 5th pick.
I need to slow life down a bit and do some research. I haven't won in 4 years so it's time to ring the victory bell again.

Congrats to the Webber Warriors Football Team and Coach Kelly Scott as they won their debut yesterday against Virginia-Wise 30-10.

Steve Warner Going to Attend Rotary Today (By: Jason A. Penrod)
By: Jason A. Penrod
Our Lake Wales Rotary Club is excited today to have Steve Warner attending today. He is a leading administrator at Webber University and we're fortunate if he decides to join our Club. I've been able to get to know Steve a bit more from working with him on the Economic Development Partnership Committee that the Chamber and the City created at beginning of the year.
Steve has some very impressive ideas and a real heart for the community. If you see him, let him know how lucky we are to have him here helping us.

Webber Football Team Will Be Improved (By: Jason A. Penrod)
By Jason A. Penrod
I heard good things from Coach Kelly Scott about our upcoming Webber Warriors football team this past Saturday. He said that we have some big lineman, even a former Sumo Wrestler, and that we have some quickness as well.
We'll see early how the Warriors measure up as they will play some ranked teams early on in the season.
Let's get out there and support Webber and a successful football season. Go Warriors!

Chamber's Young Professionals Group (By: Jason A. Penrod)
By: Jason A. Penrod
We've been hearing lately in our community that there might be some interest in a young professionals group. Many people will complain that there is not much for young people to do in this area. I'm sure I've done my fair share of complaining before.
The way I look at it.... It's up to us young professionals living here to start engaging ourselves and each other. So let's get together and brainstorm. We're thinking of having a get together sometime in mid September. Stay tuned for more details or make a comment if you have any interest.

Group Spinning at the Lake Wales YMCA (By: Jason A. Penrod)
By: Jason A. Penrod
It was a heck of a workout but I really enjoyed spinning tonight at the YMCA. Two of the women I work with and one of their husbands came tonight for the first time and they did a great job. It was inspiring to see them trying something new and of course the instructor, Trudy, is always fun and motivating.
I was really pumped that they all want to spin again.

Tim Tebow Looks Good In 1st Game (By: Jason A. Penrod)
By: Jason A. Penod
I have used this blog regularly to discuss community news. Since we have an overwhelming population of Florida fans here, I thought I'd say congratulations to Tim Tebow and all his supporters for his great showing last night in his 1st preseason game.
Tebow threw for over 100 yards and ran for a touchdown in his first showing. He also had a 30 yard pass dropped that was a beautifully thrown ball.
While it's only preseason, and it doesn't count yet, it was a great debut.
Again, keep it going Tim and congrats...we're rooting for you.

Lake Wales YMCA Making It Happen (By: Jason A. Penrod)
By: Jason A. Penrod
Have you been to the Lake Wales YMCA lately? There's no other way to put it other than to say that it's simply AWESOME.
They have new weight machines and TV monitors on the stationary bikes and treadmills. The YMCA offers a number of energizing classes for those of us who need a little more incentive to do cardio. They even offer the new craze...Zumba!
I'm more in to the spinning classes myself. The YMCA is doing a great job at accomodating different schedules too. For instance, Tuesday night has spinning classes at 6am, 5:30pm and 6:45pm.
So whether you're an early bird or you like to relieve yourself of stress after work, take advantage of this wonderful opportunity right in our own community.
P.S. Give props to Nate Seidl, Director of the YMCA. In the short time he has been here, he has really engaged the community and seems to have the community's best interests at heart. Please let him know how much you appreciate the YMCA and his efforts.

Golf Lessons By Sebo (By: Jason A. Penrod)
By: Jason A. Penrod
I just was spraying golfs like I was in the army. You know "Left, right, left".
Rather than risk the chance of being injured, Don Sebastian, better known as Sebo, gave me some tips that really helped me start striking the ball better. Sebo is a golf instructor at the Lake Wales Country Club and really is down to earth in his instruction. Plus, he's got one great sense of humor.
Go see Sebo to get some swing help.

Waves Club Is Cool! (By: Jason A. Penrod)
By: Jason A. Penrod
Are any of you busy of the same old sorry routine? I like new and interesting things and I've hit the jackpot with being invited to join Waves. Waves is a new art gallery and private club right in the heart of downtown Lake Wales.
The Club has been transformed from what was once a vacant bank building in to an oasis and a secret get away. You won't believe your eyes upon entering the building. The sights, the colors, the music, the mystique...it all gells together to form an incredible ambience and a relaxing place to unwind unlike I've ever seen.
If you want to check out some of the vibrant colors and atmosphere check out the Club's website: http://www.wavesgalleryandclub.com/
Couple all of the elements described above along with the passion of owners, Jim and Kay Hahn, and you have the beginning of something truly amazing and perhaps...maybe just perhaps, the onset of a transformation and revitalization of downtown Lake Wales.
