Women's Shelter Program of San Luis Obispo County Needs Our Help

LETS MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Help stock their food pantry, it’s a little bare!
Victims of domestic violence are faced with making trade-offs with living expenses. Many WSP clients cut back on food to afford essential non-food items such as disposable diapers, toilet paper, soap and toothpaste. They are accepting nonperishable food items and food cards. Please drop off items to Avila Bay Athletic Club & Spa.

Thank you for making a difference.
Please call (805) 781-6401, ext. 202 for more information.

Congratulations to our Member of the Month

James Scoolis

Congratulations to James Scoolis as the Member of the Month! James has been a member of the club for 16 years, so in his words, “I must really like it!” He was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, then lived in L.A., and Santa Barbara before settling here. His career brought him here, and after 30 years in education he retired 2 years ago and loves being retired. Now he can focus on his two loves: music and cooking! He has perfected hundreds of recipes. Being Greek, he loves cooking his mom and grandmother’s recipes but he doesn’t stop there. He has a killer halibut recipe and no one does BBQ chicken like him.

James’ two boys grew up at the club but are now busy with life. His oldest graduated from San Diego State and is now working in his field, and his youngest is a senior at Berkeley. James works out at the club M-F using mostly the weight room and cardio room and occasionally the hot tub. Along with his daily workout routine he practices guitar everyday and cooks!

MUSIC is the most important thing in James’ life. He is in the band Burning James & The Funky Flames, which plays funk and soul music. James is the leader of the band, lead singer, and plays guitar. He is also in Burning, Bad, and Cool which plays gospel, sou,l and blues. Or as James calls it, “Southern fried dipped in sweet thick harmony.” It is a vocal trio that sounds amazing.

James says anyone can play the guitar if they want to. They just really have to want to and put the time into it. He has been playing guitar since he was fourteen and he said he wasn’t good at all and couldn’t sing, but with practice and the desire you can aspire to be great! James we are so happy to have you as a member at ABAC and love when your band plays at the club. Good luck with both of your bands!

Congratulations to our Employee of the Month
