SIDNEY, Neb. — Chad Borgmann has been part of the Cheyenne County Community Center for so long that his name is literally built into the building.
A brick bearing his name sits near the main entrance, a reminder of a membership that dates back to The Center's earliest days.
"I have been a member of the community center since the very beginning," Borgmann said. "For proof of this, please refer to the brick with my name on it in the entrance to the main building."
The Sidney resident is the first person featured in The Center's new Member Monday series, recognizing the people who make its facilities part of their everyday lives.
Borgmann considered The Center a second home, where he could play basketball year-round regardless of the weather. Today, his routine revolves around early morning workouts at The Training Room.
He appreciates the well-maintained equipment, clean facilities and 24-hour access, but says the people are what keep him coming back.
"There is a solid group of people who workout in the mornings and I enjoy their company," Borgmann said.
Borgmann ranked among The Center's four most active members in October, recording visits on 25 days.
While he admits lifting weights isn't his favorite activity, he appreciates the results.
"My favorite part of my workout routine are the results," he said.
Borgmann also credits The Center's staff and management for their commitment to the community.
The Training Room, located at 1608 10th Ave., offers members 24-hour access year-round. Membership information is available at ccccsidney.com.
