Frank Federico - Mature
Adults Fitness & Wellness
Coordinator
T
he mature adult popula-
tion at the JCC Health
Club is a vital part of what
makes the facility so special. This
unique population requires spe-
cific fitness guidelines for a safe
and beneficial workout. The new
management team of
the Health Club is
proud to announce the
newly created position
of the Mature Adults
Fitness and Wellness
Coordinator. Frank
Federico is the individ-
ual hired for this very
important job. Frank
has an extensive back-
ground in fitness which
includes an associate degree in ex-
ercise science along with certifica-
tions from the American Red
Cross and American Heart Asso-
ciation Franks role is very defined,
by implementing fitness and well-
ness programs for mature adults.
These programs include stretch-
ing, nutrition, low impact cardio-
vascular fitness, exercising with
arthritis, back strengthening, and
more. Frank also indi-
vidualizes fitness pro-
grams for all members
according to their level
of conditioning, in-
cluding a comprehen-
sive fitness screening.

creation of a Mature

mature adult members, and with
this program plans on keeping
them active for many years.

hrough a cooperative ef-
fort Sue Frey"s kinder-
garten class and Charlene
Long's three and a half year old
nursery class worked together on
this very special quilt made up of
different felt squares of Jewish hol-
idays and symbols. Each child de-
signed, painted, and worked on
sewing the pieces on the quilt. The
children got the idea for the quilt
after seeing the AIDS Quilt exhib-
it in the lobby of the Center.
Through reading stories, the lass-
es decided they could make a quilt
with a Jewish flair. After complet-
ing the patch work the children
and staff dedicated the quilt to the
Henry and Delia Meyers Chil-
dress Library located in the
Maple/Drake Center. Please stop
by and see this magnificent work
of art when you're at the Center.

Workshop Benefits
Forgotten Harvest
J
ver 70 pounds of peanut
butter and jelly, totalling
more than 350 individu-
ally wrapped sandwiches, were
assembled as a labor of love by
JCC campers in Alef and Bet. The
sandwich making was part of the
Travel through the Torah Work-
shop attended by this group of
campers. At the workshop,
campers created their own Torah.
Each activity represented a sidra,
(chapter), from its book. Ke-
doshim, in the book of Leviticus
(Va-yikra), teaches that people
should be holy. Campers learned
that being holy means honoring
parents, leaving the corners of
fields for those who are hungry,
not taking advantage of handi-
caps, and treating other people
