Dorothy was a lovely lady who always had a smile and a hug for me when I greeted her at church. I, along with many others, will miss her.

The Rec Center provides incredible value to members and visitors, innovating and offering a wide range of services and programs on a very limited budget. Pricing, even with the increase, is more than competitive. Love this place, the people who work there, and support the increase!
