California Sports Center (CSC) celebrates its 25th anniversary with the grand opening of a new gymnastics facility in Morgan Hill, its seventh facility in San Clara County. The facility 16959 Monterey Road in Morgan Hill, will be completely renovated and equipped with all new state-of-the-art equipment. The 6,000 square foot gym will be home to both boys and girls ages from 18 months to 18 years old. CSC will provide preschool, recreational and team classes for the children and families in Morgan Hill and surrounding areas. The programs will teach how to perform level appropriate routines, just like a competitive gymnast where students enjoy a “Gold Medal Day” graduation every eight weeks where they earn the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned in front of a live audience of friends, family and staff.

How confident are you about your retirement savings? That might seem like a difficult question to answer. Maybe a better question is – do you own your home? If your answer is no, you're not alone. Retirement-age homeowners are more likely than ever to carry mortgage debt. According to a USA Today analysis of census data, more than 28 percent of homeowners age 65 or older owe on their homes. That might not seem like an outrageous percentage, but when compared to about 21 percent in 1990 and about 19 percent in 1980, the trend is obvious.
