Savvy Santa Santa gets in shape for that marathon trip on Christmas Eve by attending athletics and recreational services aerobics classes in the McKinnon Gym. He'll have a bit more cheer to hand out this year thanks to a food drive organized by instructional programmer Theresa Garthwaite. All aerobics and boxercise class participants who bring a food item to their classes by Dec. 18 are eligible to win a fitness class punch card. For class schedules call Garthwaite at 721-8721.
