Awards/Recognition

Please join the Aquatics staff in congratulating Joy Sobeck as the March 2008 Member of the Month.  “I’m the one in the wetsuit!” proclaims Joy as she does her therapy exercises.  Joy has been a freelance editor for 15 years, and during that time she says she has been in and out of the pool.
Joy began frequenting the Zesiger Center within the last year, and the Aquatics staff has enjoyed seeing joy visit in the afternoons, and she has been very gracious about our services and programs.
Aside from coming to the pool to exercise, Joy also enjoys movies, theater, classical music, sociology, speaking Spanish, going to the beach, the woods, and everything about design.  She enjoys the staff at the Zesiger Center and our friendly, responsive and organized staff.
Congratulations Joy!  You are the March 2008 Aquatics Member of the Month!
