If you see a gray and reasonably fit man with University of Iowa or Texas A&M-themed gym clothes, that's me. But you definitely won't see us on a pickleball court, which isn't the type of strength, endurance, and cardio exercise that we need. We really really like this gym and don't mind the relatively long but frequent Genoa commutes. You'll also find me here in its time as a volunteer election worker. And there's so much more going on here.

It is more like a family setting for Bingo and we have helped a lot of people in the community. We have helped Save N Sober every year.

We have helped the school out on other occasions as well with sports. And helped fire victims. We also have put on annual Easter Egg Hunts and Halloween trunk or treats. Everything we've done has been a hit. I just wish the community would get more involved in volunteering.

This facility has a number of ways to work out -- I first tried the main building which has a multi-lane running track and large number of exercise machines (treadmills, ellipticals, etc.) on the second overlooking several basketball courts below. Personally however, my primary choice for cardiovascular exercise is through swimming, and they have another building with two pools (yes, two) that are amazing. The first is a recreational pool--great for kids, but I see adults having fun there too (admittedly, I've gone down the slides several times)--kindof like a mini water park. On the other side, they have an olympic sized pool with multiple lanes, and a deep end with diving boards. There are also kickboards and pull buoys if you want to isolate your stroke and focus on kicking or pulling (as a former member of competitive swim teams, I'm all over that stuff). Their facilities are very clean and sanitary -- their locker rooms have multiple solo showers, and ample lockers. And to top it off, a day pass is very inexpensive, and they sell swim supplies (bathing suits, swim caps, towels, goggles, fins, etc) in case you either forgot yours or stumbled into this place for the first time. I'll never find myself in Tahoe without a way to get a day's worth of exercise again.

You will feel comfortable whether dressed casually or more formally. The pastor greets people in the sanctuary and lobby before and after the services. He reads and uses scriptural passages in his messages, applying them to life situations and showing us how we can better live our lives according to God's plan for us. This is a church very focused on ministry and service, with many opportunities to serve. There are also several group prayer times at the church during the week.

This location used to be a Greater Nevada Credit Union with drive-thru, and the old sign for them is still there. This Salvation Army Corps Community Center used to be at 661 Colorado Street, but they moved a few years ago. They are still trying to sell their Colorado Street location. Please note, their Thrift Store (now called the Family Store) is located at 3320 Research Way, next to Maverik, off of East College Parkway. The Thrift Store used to be on East Winnie Lane, before they outgrew that location. Please also note that these two new addresses have not been updated on their website or Facebook page. The were not also updated on their Yelp pages, until I created them, today and last week. I guess they are not good at doing that. I hope Yelp believes me and approves this new page. The entry for the food pantry and other family services is off S. Harbin Avenue. For youth services only, you have to use the doors in front, on East 2nd Street. There is also a church, which has service on Sundays at 10:45 AM. The woman who runs the food pantry is on leave, so a cleaner is filling in for her the next month or so. so things are a little disorganized, as the fill in does not want to disturb the folders on the desk of the regular employees. So the forms I gave her the week before can no longer be found, and I had to complete a new form. Their food pantry is self-service and small, mostly non-perishable goods, since they are stored on shelves in an office. I did grab a bunch of green bananas though. They also have items like conditioner, medicine, and hand sanitizer. So you fill up one bag with whatever you need, subject to the limits they have written on each shelf. They also have a regular refrigerator for some items like milk, yogurt, and limited fresh vegetables. Few people go there, at least there has never been a line when I went. I am not sure why. Someone told me this is Carson City, so there is rarely much of a line, like in my former home of the San Francisco Bay Area. The rules listed are you can go once a week, and they limit you to one bag of items of your choosing, But the woman there said those rules are not enforced. Nevertheless, please take only what you need. They do have fresh meats and vegetables on Wednesday from 1-2:30 PM, but I have not gone yet. The employee said there are all sort of trucks in the parking lot that line up to give away fresh food that day. The hours for the regular food pantry are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9 AM to 12 noon, and 1 PM to 2:30 PM. Services require a card, which they issue to you after you provide ID, proof of residence, and proof of income, and fill out a short application. Parking was easy, as they have a big lot.
