NRC is the place to be in 2019. The facility has been constantly busy with group fitness class participants, fitness center users, basketball players, tennis program participants, tennis players and swimmers. If you made a New Year's Resolution to be more active, keep doing it! Adopting a new behavior takes at least 21 days to become a new habit.
February is American Heart Month. Every year, 1 in 4 deaths are caused by heart disease. Heart disease can often be prevented by making healthy choices and exercising is a great choice.
Wear RED to exercise on Friday, February 1 to show your support for women's heart health. All participants will receive an appreciation gift for participating!
REMINDERS:
- Help prevent the spread of germs by wiping off equipment with spray bottle after each use.

Bill Dahm
Tennis Pro Supervisor
Bill was born in Bloomington/Normal and returned there to attend college at Illinois State University. He enjoyed all sports growing up, having to give up his first love (baseball) because he just enjoyed tennis too much! After college, and a long discussion with his parents about whether or not he could support himself this way, he took a job at the Aurora Tennis Club. Bill worked primarily with juniors during that time, and had three state champions and many players who received college scholarships. After 18 years, Bill left Aurora and worked in Rockford at the Clock Tower Resort as their director of tennis. Bill stayed there for three years, then took a job here at Norris Recreation Center in 2005. He has also run two outdoor summer clubs during this time -- Stone Bridge Country Club from 1998-2003 and White Eagle Homeowners Club from 2004-present. Bill married his wife Stacey 18 years ago, and they live in Oswego with their 3 kids Avery (13), Colten (7) and Ainsley (6). Bill loves his job, and also enjoys doing activities with the kids, being outside, and going to as many Cubs games as he can.
