They volunteer to work on
mailings and programs. The J
truly appreciates their help.
They also volunteer at the Speiz-
man Library and the Charlotte

The Seniors put together a
box to send to our troops in
Saudi Arabia at one of their
meetings. As they filled it with
letters, paper, pencils, soap,
gum, magazines and a whole lot
more, they tried to picture what
it would be like to receive the
box. They were so happy to
receive a lovely thank you letter
from Sgt. Daniel Toole, Oper
ation Desert Shield, who re
ceived the box. The Seniors will
continue to send boxes as long
as our armed forces are in Saudi.

Hello Sports Fans! We are
dead set into winter but activity
at the “J” is anything but cold.
The adult basketball league
began its winter league season
on January 10 and Rich Shul-
man could not wait to get back
into the heat of the game.
Congratulations to our Rac-
quetball League champions of
1990. In the Women’s League,
Marcia Schaffer won the A
division; Sandi Rosenberg
topped the B division; Rose
Shulman won the C division. In
the Men’s League, Doug Mas-
terson won the A division; Rich
Weiner won the B division and
Don Ashby Jr. walked off with
the C division laurels.
How about our marathon
swimmers?! Eileen Bernstein,
Jenny Rosenthal, Paul Putter-
man and Floyd Patten each
swam the entire length of the
Jordan River. That’s 60 miles of
swimming! I hope they each had
a good pair of goggles.
It is great to see Barbie Weiner
up on the walking track. She is
probably waiting for the weather
to break so she can resume her
Sunday tennis game. And how
about that Marvin Baron? He
can not wait to get on the
racquetball court to beat up on
Chuck, Rich and Andy.
With the new year already
here it is time for everyone to
begin a yearly fitness program.
Stop in the Health Club and see
Melanie Collins, the “J” Fitness
Supervisor, for assistance with
your exercise program. Speak
ing of the Health Club, the
current fitness room is open to
Health Club and Silver Mem
bers only. When the new fitness
center is completed, it will be
open to all “J” members. The
Health Clubs will remain exclu
sive for members only. If our
wonderful steam, sauna and
whirlpools appeal to your senses
then we encourage you to con
sider a Health Club member
ship. Speaking of whirlpools,
Mike Van Glish, I heard the
water is perfect today!
See you next month!
