Recreation and Fitness Committee


Description

This committee, which includes members from the Medford and Lumberton campuses, oversees recreational activities that enhance sociability, well-being and personal fitness. These activities include
badminton, bowling, indoor and outdoor tennis, square and social dancing, Tai Chi, ping-pong, pocket billiards, indoor and outdoor shuffleboard, croquet, water volleyball, and Wii games including bowling, tennis and golf.

Water volleyball players compete in resident versus staff tournaments, and in tournaments with other Quaker-related communities. The committee sponsors the community’s New Year’s Eve Party with games, music, movies, dancing and refreshments.

In January the committee and the Fitness and Aquatics Department co-sponsor an annual Fitness Day with demonstrations, presentations, posture screening, spa activities, a lecture and a community luncheon. These activities complement the department’s balance classes, strength-training classes, yoga classes, water aerobics, and personal fitness programs.

Except for July and August, the committee meets at 4:00pm on the first Monday of the month in the Linden Room that adjoins the Pool and the Game Room. Interested persons are welcome to attend.
