Ravinia charity champions

From the catering Department

2008A very special thank you goes to all Ravinia members supporting the 2008 Ravinia Charity Champions initiative benefi ting the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF). Thanks to the efforts of Ravinia Club members, Ravinia Club management and the Ravinia Charity Champions team, approximately $62,000 was raised this year in support of the LAF. The RCC team was the 6th highest

fundraiser for the Austin event nation wide. A Ravinia Club cheer to the Ravinia Charity

Champions Captain Jim Manley and team members who traveled to Austin, Texas, October 24-26, and participated in the 5K run/walk and/or 90 mile bike ride. Rumor has it they had a good time! Oh yes, Lance was on hand to talk about his comeback to pro cycling and his plan to use it to promote cancer awareness and support on a global level. Go Lance!

2009No rest for the weary, on the heels of a successful 2008 initiative demonstrating the Ravinia Club’s commitment to socially-responsible and wellness-related community events, planning is underway to engage club members and the community in support of the 2009 LIVESTRONG challenge.

While planning is in the early stages (and we need help, feel free to volunteer), the various club committees will be working together in an aligned effort to have their respective activities and events promote and support the Ravinia Charity Champions 2009 initiative. Thoughts being kicked around include a Casino night for all our high rollers; a Ravinia community walk/run event; a golf tournament; and a repeat of our highly successful celebrity auction fundraiser. Dates and details will follow.

The face of cancer is diverse, and we are not outsiders here at the Ravinia Club. Whether on the spin bike, the tread mill or in the Yoga class, the face of cancer is never far away. The RCC has joined the war on cancer, we need your help in supporting the RCC and continuing the fi ght. Be aware; be involved; be a part of the Ravinia Club’s Team RCC.

Our 2009 goal: $100,000. While times are tough; they are even tougher for those fi ghting and surviving cancer and those who provide support to them.

Champions team, approximately $62,000

Champions Captain Jim Manley and team

Spa Wellness… Did You Know?Sunscreen should be worn daily and year round. Even in the winter months UVA rays penetrate through the atmosphere. UVA rays are responsible for aging. Over time, our skin can appear dry, scaly, spotted, wrinkled and leathery due to exposure of UVA rays. Your best protection is to wear a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen. Save 10% when you purchase your sunscreen from the Spa!

We would love the opportunity to assist you with any event or meeting you have in 2009.
