Wendie Quinton

January 2019

Wendie Quinton is a longstanding and dedicated member of the CGC, having joined shortly after we opened in 2011. Wendie's daily visits to the Centre are both social and a great way to start her day all wrapped into one. You can find her walking the Track with her member friends who she affectionately calls the "gossip gang" or getting active in Zumba Gold, Dance Fusion, or Aquafit (the fun stuff, as she calls it), sometimes two in one day. Thanks for being such an active member Wendie!
