January Member of the Month

When you're not at MCAC, where could we find you?

I volunteer at a few Cape organizations including We Can, APCC and Family Table Collaborative. And I love to spend time outdoors with my grand-dog Buoy! 

​

What days/times are you normally at MCAC?

I am part of a few tennis teams just about every season at MidCape both during the day and in the evening.  I also fit in a couple strength sessions each week - so I am at the Club almost every day.

 

Tell us about your sports/fitness background. 

I pI have always enjoyed sports since I was a kid and tennis was a big part of that as my Dad loved to play.  I have always stayed active including gym workouts and hiking.  Since moving to the Cape full time a couple years ago, tennis has become my main form of exercise.  

 

​

When did you start at MCAC? How did you first get exposed to MCAC? How did your first couple of workouts go?

 I actually was a member of MCAC back in the late '90s/early 2000s and subbed for a team when my daughter was a baby.  We moved to NJ for jobs and then finally - after 20 years - was able to come back to the Cape in 2023!  I was thrilled to find that the tennis program at MCAC was so active and there were so many opportunities to play.  I started subbing for one of the teams and then worked my way onto some rosters.   

​

What is your favorite movement/workout?

BaTennis when I am playing well.  Followed by tennis when I play terribly.  

​

What impact has MCAC had on your life? 

I As you get older, you realize how profoundly health and fitness affect your quality of life. Being part of MCAC and surrounded by so many active, inspiring people has motivated me to stay committed to my well-being. It’s an environment I truly enjoy, and that’s what keeps me coming back day after day.

​

Do you have a favorite MCAC moment? 

Recently my husband Tom joined the club and started playing tennis as well - so seeing him on the court has been great!

​

What is your advice for people just getting started or thinking about starting MCAC?

It doesn't take long to feel like you belong here!  Whether it's fitness classes, tennis or working out - you will find a welcoming atmosphere and nice people to be around! 

​

What is keeping you at MCAC?

MCAC is not your typical gym or tennis club—it’s a place where the staff and ownership genuinely care. The classes and equipment are top-notch, and the club is always improving and investing in its members’ experience. Beyond that, you build meaningful connections with so many people. MCAC has become an important and positive part of my everyday life.
