Q. What are the hours of the exercise room and who can use it?
A. Hours are posted on the exercise room door downstairs. Usually open in the morning from 10 – 11:30. Just check on the door. If you cannot come when it is open, contact Darren Gillett (678-794-5996) and he will try to arrange a time for you. Anyone can come use it when it is open after signing a waiver first.

Q. Do you have WIFI for community use?
A. We do. Balsam West installed their WIFI here and it reaches into the parking lot. Many people drive up and use it from their vehicles.

Q. Can we leave a vehicle parked at the building?
A. If you leave a vehicle here, it must either be downstairs on the exercise room side or in the large parking lot upstairs down by the building.
