**UPDATE** Community Center "MOM GYM" new times for NOVEMBER

The fitness room upstairs in the community center will be opening @ 8am Tuesday - Friday only in the month of November. This fitness room is for anyone who has an ID card, even single military. Mostly mom's use it but it needs to be clear that anyone can use the fitness room. If we have enough participation it will continue to open at 8am. This is a trial run, so we hope it works out. If you have any questions please contact Sonia at 377-2642.
