Welcome to the return of our Club Newsletter! Check with Guest Services on your next visit to pick up a copy for your family and friends! Summer is in full swing and we thought the best way to communicate the amazing programs, events, and Club news to you would be through the re-launch of this in-depth publication. This magazine will be coming out bi-monthly going forward and will be a great tool for you to use to keep up to date and knowledgeable with everything going on at your Club. Since coming on board with Rolling Hills a few months ago, I sometimes hear “I wish I would of known about that program!” from our members. So with the re-launch of this newsletter, along with the many avenues such as flyers, our website, and weekly email blasts we hope that you can stay well informed. This newsletter will be used to summarize answers to the most frequently asked questions that we are receiving right now, reminders about upcoming programs and events that we want to make sure you don’t miss, and fun facts about the club, staff, and fellow members! We strive to make sure that we use every means of communication possible to keep you up-to-date about what is going on in the Club.

One of those avenues is Facebook! We are excited to be extending our club to the social networking space, and look forward to creating a strong community of members, non-members and health enthusiasts alike. As a fan of Rolling Hills Club you can look forward to finding out about all the club events for each month, club happenings, facility updates, new programs for each department, and being kept up-to-date with the latest in fitness – health and wellness news. Don’t forget – become a Rolling Hills Fan on Facebook!

It has been an absolute pleasure to connect with so many members during my first few months here at Rolling Hills Club and I look forward to meeting all of you in the months to come. Please feel free to come by my office or stop me in the halls and introduce yourself. I’d love to hear how you feel about the Club, what we are doing well, and what we can improve upon. Your feedback and input helps us to set our priorities and serve you better.

In Health,
