R.O.M.E.O.S It started with a milestone birthday lunch for octogenarian ArthurPasenkoff. Then it was another friend’s birthday the month after andbefore you knew it we had 15 gold members gathering for lunch postworkout. During the last three years since this outing began, this groupdeveloped a special camaraderie where everybody genuinely caresabout each other. It was at one of their monthly lunches that they de-cided to create a name for their elite group and ROMEOS was born.The acronym stands for Retired Old Men Eating Out and their dailypresence in the Fitness Center makes the atmosphere feel special forall members, not just their group. We even write the date of the nextROMEO lunch on the hallway calendar in case another member wouldlike to join in, but they have to get the stamp of approval from the ring-leader and Fitness Committee chairperson Richie Hessman (he sayswith a chuckle).

Carol’s CornerHello and I guess by now everyone is aware that I’m back to my re-sponsibilities at the Avis/South Shore as the group fitness coordinatorand instructor. I look forward to continue working with our wonderfulfitness team to help all members maintain an active and healthylifestyle.

• Come to class with a good attitude, enjoy your workout with 100% effort and leave feeling a sense of accomplishment.• Be prepared-always wear proper footwear to protect against injuries during your workout, bring along your water, a towel and of course that positive attitude!

• Be serious about your workout-remember you are here to get the best results for yourself.

• Socializing is welcome as you make many friends in group fitness that support and push each other during class for higher achievements. But please be considerate during classes as there is plenty of time for socialization after class.

So grab your sneakers, water bottles and towels, pick up a schedule ofour menu of classes and LET’S GET FIT. For more info please call718.475.5270 ext 1205

Member Spotlight: Donna Dawson age 43Donna has been a gold member of the JCCand a prominent fitness buff since the dayshe enrolled four years ago. She joinedwhen her husband Bill retired and shethought it was an activity they can enjoydoing together. She was right. Both staffand members enjoy their daily presence asthey are the fittest couple we know. Her daily exercise routine is as grueling

as it looks: one hour on the elliptical, 30minutes on the treadmill and one pumpclass a week. She has a healthy dietconsisting of lean meats and salads and onholidays her husband deep fries turkeys for a special treat for this fitfamily of four.

She continues to renew her membership because she loves thefriendly atmosphere and the staff is welcoming and helpful. Her fond-est memory was the feature the SI Advance did on her and Bill duringValentine’s Day profiling couples that work out together at the JCC.She and Bill have been married 25 years.
