One area I have not written about—The Fitness Center at the Senior Center.

Yes, membership is going up to $60 a year per person (or $5.00 a month to belong to the Center.) That is still cheaper than a membership to one of our local guys. And you won’t feel "out of it” by not wearing spandex as you exercise.

Last month 636 of our members used our gym. We are so fortunate to have a workout room like we have. You have already paid for it when you pay your membership, so take advantage and use it. Your heart, lungs, muscles, your whole body will love you for it.

New construction on our front entrance will allow you to use the workout entrance to sign in or you can use the ramp and sign in near the coffee room.

Although you are using a different entrance, don’t forget to sign in and please make sure you touch the icon telling us what you are doing (remember it counts.) Also, you can swipe your card again to sign out so you don’t forget later, and the staff has to look in the bathrooms for you at the end of the day.

A friendly note for those of you who join us for lunch. Be mindful of those members who are playing cards (Bridge, Canasta, Poker) in the card room and keep your voice down and speaker on your cell phone as you wait in line for your delicious lunches.

As you can witness, those on the Center’s Board and management are working diligently to keep our Cen-ter the shining star it is for you and our community.
