Becoming a Centenarian: Edna Fishman Celebrates her 100th Birthday
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 24, 2015 -- Twenty years ago, Edna Fishman was reading The Jewish Week and came across a small ad for Mr. Gu’s exercise class at DOROT. Ever since then, Edna has been a regular at Mr. Gu’s weekly classes and other Wellness programs offered at DOROT. Edna has also participated on DOROT’s Advisory Board, in Senior Café and in many other Wellness classes. In fact, over the past ten years, Edna has logged over 1,700 hours of classes.

DOROT’s Executive Director, Mark Meridy, explained that Edna “truly embodies DOROT.” “She has been coming to DOROT for many years, bringing friends and many donors. We are so grateful for Edna and hope to spend many more wonderful years with her at DOROT.”
