Friedman JCC Member of the Month Please meet: Janet Hoffman... What attracted you to our center? One of my friends notified me that pickleball was offered here at the center. Also, one of my favorite fitness instructors (Debbie Grossman) was offering more classes at the JCC. I come to the center five days a week now! What are your likes and interest here? Pickleball with Scott Smith and all of Debbie Grossman’s fitness classes. What motivates you to work out/train? I will be 72 shortly and I feel very luck to work out and keep active. I feel like I am in better shape now then what I was at 50. Debbie’s fitness classes and pickleball kept me in shape and the socialization with everyone is plus as well. The staff members are very friendly and helpful too! Fun fact about yourself? I love to cook and try new meals, try different varieties of wine, and gardening in my spare time.

And as we celebrate #GivingTuesday tomorrow, I ask you to join us by making a donation and sharing a message of thanks and inspiration.
