I would NEVER have guessed, never. Of course I see all those engaging in all these activities, it's just that the number of individuals we've met at church, in the neighborhood, and just having a coffee at a sidewalk coffee shop who confess they have been here 5, 10, 15 years and have never stepped foot in a pool, rec center, or on a golf course just really shocked me !

Have you been able to come up with any generalities, then, of just what *did* draw such folks here? I find that particularly fascinating.
