A Quick Note From Tracie


As some of you are aware, I experienced a medical emergency and was hospitalized two weeks ago. I am still recuperating and am so very grateful for the amazing support of my family, my staff, my friends, my customers... thank you for all your well wishes!


I will be sharing more about my experiences over time because I believe women's health, especially during perimenopause, is not talked about nearly enough.


That said, please know that I need to recover completely and try to avoid setbacks, so I will begin working part time toward the end of this week and continue resting a lot. The entire Clubhouse staff appreciates your patience as everything from receiving products into the computer to scheduling classes to special ordering takes a wee bit longer.


Sincerely,

Tracie
