April Member of the Month

Our April Member of the Month is Mame High best known for her enduring smile.

Mame is a retired dental assistant and now spends her time fishing, shopping, going to movies, and enjoying monthly lunches with her girls group.

Mame is involved in a wide variety of activities at Pearce including group exercise classes like Zumba, aqua Zumba, Yoga, cardio, and step. Her passion for tap dancing began as a little girl, taking lessons from area dance instructor Gene Buckingham. Mame is delighted to once again be under Gene’s tutelage in the intermediate adult tap dance class at Pearce.

She has also enjoyed participating in the annual Run For The Health of It; the food fight and Bingo games during Family Fun Day; senior potlucks; swimming; and Pearce’s benefit for the victims of the 2013 tornadoes in Washington.

“When I come to Pearce, I get to see old friends and make new ones,” said Mame. “Pearce is affordable and a great place to walk on the inside track during the winter.” Her fitness advice: “Don’t give up and keep up the good work!”

Given her signature smile, it’s not surprising that one of Mame’s favorite sayings is, “Always greet everyone with a smile and a kind word.”
