Letter From The Board of Governors May 24, 2011

Dear Ravinia Member,

The private club industry has struggled over the past two years and The Ravinia Club is no different, with our membership level slipping from over 1000 to around 825. In response, we’ve reduced our staffing in all areas, as well as adjusted club offerings and hours of operation to reduce expenses. Because we have the most dedicated, service-oriented staff in the industry, we’ve been able to continue to exceed member expectations in most cases, but these measures still challenge our ability to attract and retain members. We need your help and we’ve identified three areas in which you can help us generate additional revenue.

Bring in new members• – Do you know individuals or businesses that could benefit from a club like ours? Our activities and events appeal to most everyone, no matter what age or occupation, and our dues structure accommodates even young professionals just starting to build their career and social/professional networks. You can contact our Membership Director, Lauren McJenkin, at (770) 395-5148 or by email at [email protected] to assist in introducing your candidate to the Club.

Dine at the Rotisserie Grill• – Last year we brought in Ed Scheu as our Executive Chef. If you’ve dined with us lately, I think you’ll agree that Ed has brought a whole new level of excellence in culinary quality and presentation, all the while maintaining very reasonable prices. Please plan to dine in the club at least once each month with a guest. I am confident you’ll want to come back more often.

Use or recommend our catering services• – Catering makes a huge impact on our bottom line. Laura and Dana can create unique events for members as well as non-member individuals and businesses. We can handle small gatherings (6-8) all the way up to a club-wide party for 500 with the same high standard of service and culinary excellence. Please contact either Laura (770-392-7328) or Dana (770-392-7305) to schedule your next event, and refer your friends, family and colleagues.

Incentives and PromotionsWe’re planning a variety of incentives and promotions over the next several months in all three areas above. This month we’re focusing on our catering services: any party booked between now and August 30th will receive a 10% credit applied to your club account for you to use in other areas of the Club. We have so much to offer but we can’t do it without you. Please make a commitment to one or more of the areas above and help us move to the next level! I thank you in advance for your support! Regards,

Steve FrankeGeneral Manager

Pinnacle Chiropractic and Th e Ravinia SpaDedicated to your wellness experience

Summer Skin Care with Th e Ravinia Spa:It’s summertime in Atlanta, and the weather is HOT! (And the season has only just begun!) From the looks of things, it’s going to be a long, sweltering summer.

While we certainly can’t off er you any new advice on how to beat the heat, at least we at Th e Ravinia Spa do know a thing or two about how to best care for your skin this season, so you can show off your summer skin in your shorts, tees, sundresses and bathing suit all summer long. (Oh, and if you do by chance over-indulge under the sun a bit one day this summer? We can take care of that, too.)

Tips for healthy summer skin:Use sunscreen ALL OVER your body, even on overcast •days. Dangerous UV rays can shine through light-colored clothing. Don’t forget to protect your face, as well.Apply liberally – approximately one ounce per whole •body application. (Th at’s the equivalent of a shot glass, if this helps!)Apply sunscreen 30 minutes to one hour prior to •outdoor activities, and re-apply every two hours during activities.Remember that even “water-proof” sunscreen will still •breakdown and need re-application, especially after heavy sweating or water activities.Use sunscreen with at least an SPF (sun protection •factor) of 30, though dermatologists agree that sunscreens marketed with an SPF of 70 or higher are not usually worth the added cost (there is a limit to sunscreen protection, after all).When possible, avoid direct sun exposure during the •most dangerous times of day for UV rays, which are the hours between 10:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Also, bear in mind that UV rays refl ect and intensify off of sand, water and even the asphalt you walk on.Fair-skinned people and those with freckles have less •melanin (the skin’s natural chemical agent and fi rst line of defense for UV ray absorption), so they should use extra vigilance with their skin protection all year long.

Tips for luscious summer skin:Exfoliate dead skin to invigorate skin cell production •and the renewal of dewy skin layers beneath. Don’t neglect your back, which perhaps you can’t see, but others certainly can. Can’t reach or don’t know which products to use? Schedule an appointment with one of our highly trained estheticians and enjoy a bit of “me” time. May we suggest a glycolic facial to reveal the healthier skin underneath the fi ne lines, dry patches and uneven skin tones left from past sun exposure? If that’s too strong for your tastes, how about our new botanical facial, which uses nature’s own bounty as its exfoliating agent? For your whole-body needs, we off er back facials and even two diff erent types of all-over mud wraps. All are available for both men and women. (add link)Hate those bumps and prickly stubble left behind from •shaving? Once your skin has been freshly exfoliated and polished, add a professional waxing to control your hair removal needs. Your entire body can be silky smooth and stubble-free all season long, and you won’t have to worry about shaving this summer. SUMMER PROMOTION: Underarm plus bikini wax -- $70 (members) or $80 (non-members)Hydrate your skin with our exclusive lines of skincare •lotions and sunscreens, which are available in limited supplies locally, and only from dermatologists and med spas. Our staff will consult with you to meet your individual needs. Whether your preference is the non-irritating, revolutionary transparent zinc oxide (which protects against both UVA and UVB rays) developed by the elite line of SkinCeuticals, the cell strengthening skin protection developed by Derma Quest, or the unmatched rehydrating and calming vitamins found in Danish skincare line Beaute Pacifi que (developed especially to reverse sun damage and overindulgence, for those of us who may have realized the error of our sun-worshipping ways a little “later” in life), we’ve got you covered. We work closely and personally with a representative from each company (as well as a select few others) to off er an unparalleled selection of skincare in the Atlanta area that we truly believe in and actually use ourselves (both personally and professionally in our spa).

To schedule an appointment with one of our expert estheticians, please call Rachel at 770-392-7337. For more information, please visit our website.
