Father’s Day is Sunday, and Loma Linda and the surrounding communities have several great places to purchase presents for dear old dad.
Give your father the gift of health by purchasing him a membership to the Drayson Center. The Drayson Center has aerobics studios, cardio and weight rooms, racquetball and tennis courts, and pools.
