11.               Ecole St. Jean-Baptiste recently acquired a used Universal Gym
 with the brand name being Global Gym and Fitness. It's a great machine but
 a few parts are missing. I heard at SAG that a few schools had dismantled
 theirs and were planning on getting rid of their machine.

 Here's a list of what we need:
 -the seat for the leg press;
 -the stool for the shoulder press;
 -the handle bars for the shoulder press;
 -the bench for the bench press;
 -the pulleys and extention for the lat pull down;
 -the pull-up bars.
