DCC MOVIE DAY
Wednesday, February 25th
12:30 p.m.-2:30 p.m.
The DCC will show
“The Good Lie”
rated PG13 (1 hour 50 minutes)
Mamere and Theo are sons of the
Chief in their village in Southern
Sudan. When an attack by the
Northern militia destroys their
home and kills their parents,
eldest son Theo is forced to
assume the role of Chief and lead
a group of young survivors, including his sister Abital, away
from harm. As the tattered group makes the difficult trek to
Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, they meet other fleeing
children, bonding with Jeremiah, already a man of faith at
13, and Paul, whose skills become essential to their
survival. Thirteen years later, the young adults are given the
opportunity to leave the camp and resettle in America.
Arriving in Kansas, they are met by Carrie Davis, an
employment agency counselor who has been enlisted to
help find them jobs. Carrie has successfully kept herself
from any emotional entanglements, but these refugees,
desperately requiring help navigating the 20th century and
rebuilding their shattered lives, need just that. So with the
help of her boss, she embarks on her own unchartered
territory, and the Lost Boys and these unlikely strangers find
humor in the clash of cultures, and heartbreak as well as
hope in the challenges of life in America.
One popcorn and drink will be provided FREE for
all movie watchers.

Fitness Center Services
Body Composition Measurements: Using methods such as percent body fat, Body Mass Index, and
circumference measurements are good alternatives to just using the scale as a measure of your body
composition. These measurements can help you track and quantify the success of your exercise achievements
in a different way.
Fitness Assessments: Measure your current fitness level through various exercise assessments, discuss your
fitness behaviors and goals, and also help you to create a fitness plan to meet your individual needs.
Equipment Instruction: If you are feeling unsure or a little intimidated by the exercise equipment you might be
interested in getting a one- on- one equipment instruction. This will involve personal demonstration and
instruction on how to use each piece of equipment in the fitness center properly. This is also a time for you to
get all your questions answered and build up the confidence to use all the different machines.
All of these services are provided FREE of cost, please contact
Allison at 475-9272 to schedule an appointment.
Please remember that a Fitness Room Orientation is required prior to using the DCC
Fitness Room. Please be mindful of the 30 minute time limit on the cardio equipment
and all other general fitness room rules. If you would like a copy of the rules or any
clarification please see any of the DCC Staff. Thank you for your cooperation!
