Davis adds a smiley face when she answers via email that she “likely” could wear her high school prom dress, in part, at least, because she finds time to be an instructor at two Urban Active centers twice weekly – fitness and abs Wednesdays at 6 p.m. and cardio, yoga and abs on Saturday mornings.

“I have done that (6 p.m. class) and changed clothes and made a dinner meeting,” she says. “I try to do yoga at least one other day and try to walk or ride my bike another day of the week.”

“It’s a way of life,” says the ultra-dedicated woman who serves without slowing.

45 Years of Careers Chamber

celebrates a big birthday in December

On Dec. 5, the number of the day for the Westerville Area Chamber of Commerce will be 45.

That’s the day the chamber will celebrate its 45th anniversary with an informal event at the chamber’s office at 99 Commerce Park Dr., says Janet TresslerDavis, chamber president and CEO.

R.T. “Sarge” Beum orchestrated the beginning of the “modern” chamber to succeed one that had evaporated. Fellow Westerville residents Dick Fogel and Robert Ramage signed articles incorporating the 20-member organization in 1967.

Several events are planned to celebrate this birthday. The party will begin at 4:45 p.m., and the first four to arrive at starting time will get 45 “chamber bucks” to apply to admission to a chamber event next year. The 45th member to renew and the 45th new member will get price breaks, too.

Davis is looking ahead, as well, to the chamber’s annual meeting Jan. 22, when a new chairman, Mike MacKay, takes office. More 45-themed giveaways will be take place at the event to “kick us off moving forward into 2013 and the next 45 years,” Davis says.
