So far so good. As a total newbie to pottery, My first class with Doris the instructor was challenging; but thanks to their kind and very comprehensive teaching process felt very comfortable with learning the new medium and looking forward to my 2nd go

Our Salem Y has been a great place for a 76-year-old like me to get in a great workout or a decent swim, all followed up by a stint in the sauna or steam room. There's a friendly vibe from the other members but that's overlain by a respect for everyone's privacy. The parking is problem-free when I go --in the earlier side of the day. The staff is helpful and friendly.
