    Curves in Central has closed after many years of service to our community.  On Friday, August 23, 2013 ; Curves in Central closed its doors.  This wonderful health club provided a clean, up-to-date service to the women in our community who were interested in staying "in shape," and sharing their workout time with other women.    Colleen McGee has worked diligently for many years  keeping the club open and available to ladies.  She was assisted by Pat  Duke and "Mouse" Piscitello, who worked for her. .  The facility provided services like a changing room; a restroom; "stretching" equipment for after-workout exercises;  computer-operated machines that tabulated the efforts made on each machine and calories burned in the course of the workout; as well as chocolates as one exited  The workers were there to meet, greet and assist. 
    It was a gathering place for women who love to "stay in shape," and provided a safe environment to share ideas and thoughts with others as one rotated around the room working on the various machines. 
    Our hearts are saddened at the thought of not being able to go to "Our Curves." One of our members is 86 and has been able to stay in shape by attending Curves for many years.  She has tallied up over 1000 workouts and is able to stay young because of her efforts. 
    The members gathered on Wednesday, August 21 to say farewell to Colleen, Pat and "Mouse." Treats were provided by Colleen as well as the members in attendance. 
    We, the members, want to wish them well and to express our thanks for their devotion and assistance in our endeavors to "stay young."
