"Let me give one motivating example out of many from my home State of Florida. Cecil Daniels, a 70-year-old Miami resident, was recently recognized in a nationwide competition as the 2012 Richard L. Swanson Inspiration Award from the Healthways SilverSneakers Fitness Program. Mr. Daniels has successfully changed his lifestyle to better manage his diabetes and high blood pressure. Thanks to changing his diet and joining friends in fitness classes, he now receives encouraging reports from his physicians about his health."

"Built in 1882, Tibbits is the second oldest operating theater in Michigan. The 499 seat venue operates year round, enriching the area with professional and community theater programs, community events, concerts and youth theater productions. Strategically located on the primary thoroughfare between Chicago and Detroit, it has hosted many notable performers and acts over the years, ranging from P.T. Barnum and John Philip Sousa to Mickey Rooney and Jeff Daniels. From early vaudeville performances to a spell as a movie house, Tibbits has served as the cultural center of the area."
