March Newsletter 2014
Dear Members,
I would like to take this opportunity to notify you of the great new upgrades we will be bringing to you in the next upcoming month! I am happy to announce that our Fitness Center will now have two high-definition TVs for our members to enjoy while they exercise. We have wanted to do this for some time and are very excited for this new addition. Speaking of fitness, we will now be offering another session of our Fusion exercise program! A great way to maintain wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle, this year’s Fusion program will include multiple cooking seminars that are sure to give you the tools you need to be healthy for years to come!
As some of our tennis players may have noticed, we have been fixing and replacing many of the light bulbs on the tennis courts. We hope that these new bulbs and lenses will provide even better lighting than before. In addition to replacing the tennis lights, we have now installed two new lights for the Tennis Landing! Now members can enjoy their post-match get-togethers on a fully lit landing!
Be sure to stay true to those all-too-easy-to-forget New Year’s resolutions by being a part of all our wonderful programs through this Spring. I look forward to seeing you out on the courts, in the pool, or in the gym!
Take care,
Kristina Mueller
