You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier.

Tambourine Free Style
Description : -This is a fun and entertaining physical exercise activity by Kathleen Taylor
Materials :
Red plastic plates
Hole punchers
Ribbon
Bells
Music
Instructions :
Have your Arts and Crafts group make the tambourines by punching 6 holes around the perimeter of the plate; tie a ribbon in each hole and attach a bell to the other end. The ribbons don't need to be long, maybe about 8". Make sure the bells are tied securely or they may fly off during exercise.
Have the residents sit arms length apart in staggered rows.
Give each participant 2 tambourines.
Play music that is upbeat. Marching music is great with this activity. Clap the tambourines above the head, below the knees, side to side, up and down to the beat of the music. This activity is similar to seated cheer leading.
