MEET your MANAGERS
DEAR VILLAGE MEMBERS,
It’s hard to believe that spring is here. Doesn’t it seem like we were
all celebrating the holidays just a short time ago? I guess time does fly
when we’re having fun!
2012 is off to another great start here at the Village
Health Clubs and Spas. I would like to personally
thank all of you for your membership, support
and loyalty. The Village clubs get most of our new
members from our current members who refer their
friends and family to join one of our clubs. This
strong referral program helps give all of our clubs
and spas that special feeling of home that we all
love so much.
All of us at the Village appreciate these referrals.
We’re always looking for ways to show our
appreciation and to say thank you for referring
your friends and family to join the club. For every
new member you refer to join the Village, we
always offer some sort of referral gift to say ‘thank
you’ for your help. Bringing your friends into the
Club with you is a great way to introduce them to
the Village lifestyle.
So that all of you can continue to be proud of your
Village clubs, we have started the New Year off with
many new projects, programs and improvements.
All of the clubs received new fitness equipment,
the Camelback Village remodeled their pools and
pool house and added a new ice machine area, the
Gainey Village improved their front entry with
a new water feature and automatic doors, the DC
Ranch Village has all new café furniture and the
Verrado Village kept celebrated Founder’s weekend

Our employees pride themselves on making
sure the Village is a welcoming place where you
can get and stay healthy in a warm and caring
environment. We really mean it when we say there
is no better compliment that you can give us than
to refer a friend or associate. Invite your friends to
join you at the Club and we’ll do our best to make
sure they are treated in a manner that makes you
proud to be a part of the Village family.
To your health,
Carol Nalevanko
