The sun is over the yardarm, so splice the mainbrace! Yes, it's Monaco Yacht Show.

What's new?

Yesterday Brasserie de Monaco hosted its first Zumba class, the current dance exercise craze. If you'd like to try it, but the place or times don't suit you, there are plenty of other opportunities to Zumba your way to fitness in Monaco. We also noted this week that the Association des Jeunes Monegasques (AJM) is changing its name to the more inclusive Association des Jeunes de Monaco. The AJM organizes events, exhibitions and live music at its clubhouse in the Metropole Shopping Gallery.

Finally, tomorrow is World Alzheimer's Day. As people survive to a greater age, society is likely to encounter more elderly citizens suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia. To raise awareness of this terrible disease, the Monegasque association AMPA is organizing a walk and a photograph exhibition. Please show your support.
