Your Weekly East Bay Clubs Update: December 11, 2023

Dear Member,

 

Monthly Mentions

PNW Here We Come – In case you missed the big announcement, Bay Club is heading North, Pacific Northwest to be exact, with the acquisition of PRO Club, two health and wellness clubs in Seattle. Saying we are thrilled doesn’t do it justice! Want to learn more? Head over to What’s New…

Perks-a-Plenty – As you know, we have MANY Members Perks this month BUT there is one that I wanted to highlight. How many of us have kids asking for phones this holiday season? Many! And it is a difficult conversation to navigate. But there’s a phone on the market that’s kid safe. The Gabb phone allows unlimited calls and text messaging but no social media or internet browsing. The Gabb Phone 3 PRO (and watch!) looks just like a regular phone but acts the way parents want. My 6th grader got a Gabb a few months ago and we both love it. I know where he is—thank you GPS tracking! And he can call or text me whenever he likes… But I don’t have to worry about who has access to him! We reached out to the CEO of Gabb and negotiated the following…happy shopping: Get your Gabb.

Get Ready for Summer…Camp
It’s never too early to start planning for summer. Our Summer Camp registration is now open, and registering early gives you the best chance to get your children into the sessions they want, on the weeks that fit their schedule! Plus, if you register before January 31, you’ll receive a special discount of 15%. Log in to Connect to see all our camp sessions (by location) and secure your child’s spot in the best summer camp experience they’ll ever have!

Random Fun Fact – Did you know a group of porcupines is called a prickle? Now you do.

 

In health,

Tracy L Cioffi
Chief Marketing Officer
