STL Summer News

Greetings All!

Here is some important news about this summer:

- We will have an online calendar going up this month. Clients will be able to conveniently check online for additional sessions if you are hungering for an extra training day, and/or to schedule your make ups.

- We have a pretty packed enrollment for June, (very grateful to all of you for that!) and if for some reason your schedule does not allow your attendance, please contact Lee at your earliest convenience as we may have a client make up to book in your absence.

- Just a reminder that payments are now due the first of each month. You are welcome to pay by check or cash at your first monthly session (please disregard if payment has been received). If for some reason you are not able to attend, we would appreciate your cooperation in paying online today, either by checking acct debit or credit card at https://www.cwstex.com/Payments.html. This is extremely helpful and required so that we can appropriately manage our books and business expenses.

- Thank you to all of you for your continued participation in this program. We have lots of great work to do this summer. The heat is a great time to challenge our bodies. It is hot, our bodies more supple (we hope right) and the days, although hectic for all of us still, have a calmer quality. Well…in our minds anyway.

Testify & Spread the Good Word of STL!

Corporate Wellness Solutions will soon be creating a new DVD presenting the Strength Through Length program to the world -- and we want to include you and your thoughts in that process!

The video will be a way to express what the STL program is, and just what makes it so special to all those people out there who don't yet know (which is quite a few folks). The plan is to use it for health fare displays, corporate promotions, and posts on YouTube, the blog, and other web sites.

At the end of the video, there will be a running list of testimonials from STL clients. We would love for you to contribute to that list with your thoughts about STL, so please send us any information on why you attend STL sessions, how the program has helped you with any health problems or injuries, what makes STL unique or, of course, why Lee so special!

Just post your thoughts as a comment to this blog post, along with your name, and we can collect the information that way. Or, if you prefer more privacy, email your thoughts to Lee at lee@cwstex.com.

Thanks in advance to all of you who make the time to do this! We really appreciate your carving out the extra minutes to share your thoughts on the program. Any other feedback beyond testimonials for the video is of course always more than welcome as well.

All testimonials must be submitted by Friday, May 1, 2009.

Thanks again! We will let you all know when the video is finished!

Haircut Happy Hour!

Wild Orchid Salon, located just a stone's throw from the STL home studio, is offering Haircut Happy Hour from 4 - 6 p.m., Mondays through Fridays. This includes half-price haircuts and a free cocktail! Plus, Meshelle Fraedrich, one of our STL members, is a stylist at the salon, and does amazing work.

It would be great fun to get a group together every couple weeks and take advantage of this awesome deal. (The salon also offers waxing, color, treatments and more...) So, if anyone would like to set up a group event at the salon, just let me know when! I will post that information on the blog for all to join in.

This is a great way to build our community, get to know each other and our neighbors, and of course, indulge in some much needed pampering! I mean, half-off haircuts and a free beverage - who can pass that up?
