Are you coming to the next in-person networking event at the Rochester Athletic Club on Wednesday, Oct 26th from 10am-3pm? It’s time to re-group and gather together as fitness friends to share each others ideas on programming, marketing, membership ideas and more. Everyone will bring their facility brochure to share with others. We will tour the magnificent Rochester Athletic Center at 10am, then we will have a small program, followed by lunch and a few hours of round-tabling with each other. What’s working well at your club? Heck, what’s not working well!?! Let’s share ideas and come away feeling re-motivated and ready to roll out some new programming for fall and deep winter.

Let’s talk about the small, seemingly insignificant “Verified box” on the bottom of each of your members profiles. Rule #1 – Never, ever un-check a member’s verified box. You need to leave it checked, even after the member cancels from you. If a member cancels, you should simply change their Member Status to Cancelled or Terminated – whichever you choose. But again, we kindly ask, that you do not un-check the verified box; leave the verified box checked at all times. Thank you.

Have you seen our Newsletter section, “Can’t Make This Up”? Every now and again we hear a great story from one of our NIHCA Clubs about the antics happening with their members. We ask our clubs to be creative with our Spotlight Contest themes and you did not disappoint this month. The entries this month included stories that were creative, inspiring and we could not have made them up. |

MWRC sent us the story of their Grand Opening Gala in 2014 and the antics of those attending and some who overstayed their welcome:
“Later that night (IN FACT...Early the next morning) after our staff had eaten what they liked of the pizza and snacks and placed them in the fridge in our Executive meeting room, I found a family that had decided to take it upon themselves to not only eat the leftovers, but to also stay the night in the meeting room! They were KINDLY asked to leave the facility. Never have seen them again! You just never know what you might see at your center!!!!”
