Brooke’s Notes; August 2024

How in the world is it already August?! WSFC Schools start back a little early this month (August 12th!), and it’s hard to believe we’re already wrapping up summer.

At the end of June, I launched a six-week program at my gym, Washington Park CrossFit, for 12 women to learn more about strength training and CrossFit. Our last session is coming up, and it has been an absolute blast watching these ladies from all ages and stages of life – new moms, twenty-somethings, fifty-somethings and everything in between. They’ve made friends and gained confidence with the barbell. This is something I’m passionate about! This is the third group that has participated in the “Hot Girl Hour” program at the gym, and I just love doing it! This program happens twice a year. If you’re interested in signing up for the next session, stay tuned to @washingtonparkcrossfit on Instagram!

Mixxer Community Makerspace – what a fun cover! From welding to jewelry making and 3D printing, they’ve got something for everyone. What a fun way to learn a new skill or try out a new project! Mixxer’s mission is to grow a creative community that provides equitable access to tech, tools and knowledge regardless of experience or background. We’re honored to feature Mixxer on our cover this month! Read more about this incredible non-profit.

August and September bring so many exciting events to our community! From the Winston-Salem Open Kids’ Day on August 17th to the Professional Bull Riders coming to the Greensboro Coliseum September 20th-22nd (check out the promo code exclusive to our Forsyth Family readers on page 3), and we can’t forget about the YMCA’s annual “Dirty Dozen” Obstacle Mud Run 5K happening on September 14th!

We love this community and love putting together this magazine for you each month. It wouldn’t be possible without our incredible team and our amazing advertising partners. Show them their marketing dollars are well spent by mentioning you saw their ad in Forsyth Family Magazine!

Wishing you a wonderful rest of your summer!

All my best,

Brooke
