The Holton Recorder “Our friendly facility is far more than a fitness center. Retirees love this place!”, says Kristel Bontrager of Holton, a physical therapist assistant at our Center. “Many of them come from miles around several times a week—some daily. It’s become their ‘Gathering Place’. “Some retirees come just to meet and visit new friends…have coffee…play cards, dominos, Presents... work on crafts…or just chat. Our Center gives them a place to go and something to do on a regular basis. It’s a happy place!”
