GOLD’S GYM SILVER SPRING HONORS LOCAL TEACHERS, POLICEMEN, FIREFIGHTERS AND THE MILITARY WITH FREE FITNESS SERVICES DURING MONTH OF NOVEMBER
Company Recognizes Each Group for Their Efforts to Make America Stronger
Silver Spring, November 19 2008 – In a month where the nation will give thanks for the many freedoms and gifts we enjoy, Gold’s Gym Silver Spring is giving a big thanks to the people who are making our country and our communities stronger.
Through its new "Strength in our Communities" initiative, Gold’s Gym Silver Spring is providing free fitness consultations and free workouts to all teachers, firefighters, policemen and the military during the month of November. Members of these groups can simply visit Gold’s Gym 2144 Industrial Parkway Silver Spring, MD 20904 to redeem a special 2 week VIP membership and receive free fitness advice from a Gold’s Gym fitness expert.
"Teachers, firefighters and police officers are people who truly embody strength within their local communities. Now, more than ever, we need these everyday heroes - the people who help form the backbone of our local communities - to be strong, healthy and at their best," said Mark Long, Personal Training Director.
The “Strength in our Communities” program is part of Gold’s Gym’s effort to re-define the meaning of strength. Leading with the call to action of “Know Your Own Strength,” Gold’s Gym has set out on a new campaign to show that strength comes in many forms; whether it’s the strength to overcome challenging times, the strength to be a better parent or the strength to fight diseases like diabetes.
For additional information on "Strength in Our Communities" or to find a participating gym near you, please visit www.GoldsGym.com.

Greetings,
This mail is for the newer friends and ones I don't chat with on a regular basis...just a little about me and what I do. My real name is Bill Denis. I was sworn into the FDNY Sept 5th 1981 and assigned to Engine 303 in South Jamaica Queens. After 8 years in the Engine I transferred across the floor to Ladder 126. In 1993 I was promoted to Fire Marshal and did Arson investigations for 4 years, In 1997 after missing the firehouse and having 4 years till I could retire I took a voluntary demotion back to Firefighter & reassigned to Ladder 126 where I stayed until I retired Sept 6th 2001 with 20 years and 1 day on the job. Yes I did go back to work 5 days later when the WTC was attacked and worked at ground zero as a volunteer for the first week. I then started to attend the funerals, sometime 2-3 a day....very sad time.
In 1999 after attending a comedy show for my birthday we decided to stay at the club for cocktails (Imagine that...a bunch of firemen that drinks) anyway I was talking to the headliner and he told me about a Stand Up Comedy class given at the club. I took the class and my 1st performance was May 3, 1999, I got 'bit' by the comedy bug when I did my 2nd show in August. At that show I was befriended by a transit cop turned pro comedian/actor named John DiResta. John lives in Los Angeles and now when we perform together we bill the show as "Guns and Hoses" In 2000 John suggested that I put together a FDNY comedy benefit between us. I sent out flyers through 'The Job' looking for any guy who thought they were funny and wanted to be part of the show. I wound up with 6 other funny FDNY members that performed that year and continue to every year at our "Bravest Night of Comedy." To date we have raised over $60,000 for the Thomas Elsasser fund for widows and children of FDNY members that die outside the line of duty.
We have taken our "Bravest Night of Comedy" on the road and have done numerous firehouse shows and fundraiser's throughout the east coast in NY, NJ, CT, MA and as far away as Chicago twice. I made a myspace page just for the Firehouse shows and if you think you'd be interested in checking us out the page can be found here www.myspace.com/funnyfirefighters
If you'd like to see us perform LIVE we are performing 2 shows at the NJ State Fire Convention in Wildwood NJ at the American Legion Hall 4200 Atlantic Avenue at PM & 10pm.
I have a comedy for hire web page www.heythatsfunny.com to see the type of shows I can put together for your firehouse. ALL Fire Departments can ignore the prices listed on that page...I promise to take care of your company!
Can you please re-post this mail and help me get the word out about our shows and I hope to maybe see you in my audience someday...drinks after the show are on me!
