WELCOME TO OUR NEW PATRON, THE SOLOWAY JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTRE!
We have a new patron on the blog, and it’s one I’m really,
really excited to have on board: the Soloway Jewish Community Centre. I have
been a huge fan of the JCC for a few years now; it was where I went when I
decided to return to a fitness regime. The JCC was my first (and only) choice,
because they have an indoor salt water pool and I’m sensitive to chlorine, and
swimming was all I wanted to do. But as the weeks went by, I found myself
peeking into the fitness area, scoping out the cardio machines with built-in TV’s,
ogling the gorgeous full-sized gymnasium, and checking out the squash courts.
What appealed to me even more, though, were the people: the staff at the JCC
are absolutely lovely. I felt welcomed from Day One, with big genuine greetings
from the front desk staff, who are some of the nicest reception staff I have
ever met.

When I retired from roller derby and needed to return to a
regular fitness program, Brian and I got memberships at the Soloway JCC right
away. Brian fell in love with the place, and the people, just as I had. There
are many programs running at the JCC aside from fitness, of course—indeed, it’s
a hoppin’ place with programming for a wide range of ages—and you can access
their activity catalogue online or stop in for a hard copy.
We interviewed Patrice Berdowski, Membership Director at the
JCC, and this is what she shared (Note: Patrice is amazing and you will
definitely see her smiling ‘round the JCC when you visit!):
