THANK YOU TO ALL NEW MEMBER SPONSORS!
From The Membership Department
Greetings Ravinia Club Members!
Wow! Summer is upon us, isn’t it? It seems we just skipped
right over Spring and straight into the hot months. Along
with the heat come a great number of social activities best
enjoyed during the summertime: golf outings, pool parties,
concerts at Chastain Park and, most importantly, vacation!
A fantastic way to make the most of your summer is to
join the Georgia Alliance! You could enjoy the best seats at all of Atlanta’s local
concert venues. You have access to a multitude of member-only camps for
kids—that’s basketball, tennis, swimming and more! Do you prefer to spend
your summer exploring the culture of other cities and countries? A membership
with the Georgia Alliance gives you reciprocal club privileges at more then 650
clubs worldwide. Whether you are traveling as far away as Australia or right next
door to Birmingham, there are sure to be clubs that feel like another home away
from home.
Why not give it a try? You can upgrade your current membership for only $30
more per month and receive the true private club experience wherever life takes
you. It’s your life; let us help you make the most of it!
All my best,
Lauren McJenkin

The Spa
SPA ALERT
We are excited about recent changes that have taken place in the Spa. As of July, we
will no longer offer manicure and pedicure services. However, the Spa welcomes Dr.
Dan Bart and Ms. Rachel Hood of Pinnacle Chiropractic to our family. We believe
that Dr. Bart and Rachel will be a perfect addition as we continue to reach our goal
of becoming a top notch Spa and Wellness Center. The Ravinia Spa continues to
provide unmatched service and the finest therapists and estheticians in the Atlanta
area, and Dr. Bart will fit in perfectly.
“Massage therapy and Chiropractic care are perfect compliments to each other. You
can benefit in a number of ways by adding massage therapy to your chiropractic care
program. Recovery is normally faster and more complete when you address multiple
components of your pain. Chiropractic treatment often proceeds more easily,
with less discomfort, when soft tissue has been relaxed with massage. Chiropractic
adjustments frequently have a better effect when muscle tension is released.”
The Spa’s estheticians also play an important role in the overall Wellness picture.
Your skin is the largest organ of your body. Its appearance is a reflection of your
health. It is necessary to preserve and protect it no matter what age you may be. With
a clinical analysis of your skin type, and consultation with a licensed esthetician, you
will be educated by establishing a treatment program individually tailored to make a
noticeable improvement in your current skin condition.
Using professional home care products in conjunction with regularly scheduled facial
treatments, improvements can be made in your skin’s texture/firmness, moisture,
pigmentation, clarity, decreased redness/sensitivity, and decreased visible aging of
your skin for years to come. You will receive the knowledge you need to keep your
skin looking and feeling fabulous now, and as your skins needs change over a lifetime.
Whether you are a new Ravinia Club
member or a current member who has
not yet visited The Ravinia Spa, please
stop by and check us out.
