Plain-language change summary

The amended version of HJ 659 commends Iron-Bound Gym without specifying its 40th anniversary, which is now omitted. Additionally, it changes the wording about the gym's mission from creating a strong sense of community to improving community wellness. This update shifts the focus slightly from a historical celebration to a broader recognition of the gym's ongoing contributions to health.
