The Three Kings of Peace Roselawn Fitness Center, in the old Roselawn School at Gilbert and Roselawn, saw a Sunday (Dec 3rd) open house with lots of people coming and going. Three Kings of Peace members Alderman Ed Butler and Pastor Frank McCullough recently announced their purchase of the center from the retired Chip and Sharron Runyan; and standing in the weight room on Sunday, Chip Runyan said this is exactly what he and Sharron could have hoped for.
AUDIO: (We’re) very happy; the guys are going to do a great job. They’ve had a wonderful group supporting them. And they are so much a part of this community. We are lucky as Danville people to have them continue what Sharron and I absolutely loved doing for our 33 years.”

Pastor Frank McCollough says, it’s an honor to take the baton and keep things running.
AUDIO: We certainly appreciate the Runyans for the insight, and also the vision, that they had. And that vision mingles with ours. And we’re going to try our best to continue that legacy.
The hours are now established as 9 AM to 8 PM Monday through Friday, along with some special events scheduled for the weekends. For example, as Ed Butler explains, Demetrious Wade has been providing Saturday and Sunday basketball training.

And coming hopefully around mid-January, a daycare that the Three Kings of Peace had planned. Pastor McCullough’s daughter Khadigah will be in charge, and says extra care will be offered when needed.
AUDIO: When we move to the facility it will be 8 to 3, Monday to Friday. And also I will be offering additional care; if you still need after hours, I will still be offering that through my home as well. It will be state pay, off of your income.
And Neuhoff Media had a chance to meet chef Shevon Jackson, who will be handling food for the daycare, and the staff.
AUDIO: My role will be to make sure the kids get a nutritional meal. I’ll be giving them their breakfast and their lunch and their snacks, and also the staff. I will make sure the staff gets their meals also.
We also met Demetrious Groves, who will be handling weight room training for those 15 and older. The Three Kings of Peace Roselawn Fitness Center invites you to stop by and ask about memberships.
