We believe that love and respect are stronger than hate. We believe that together is stronger than divided. We believe in Seattle. Growing and improving requires new members Each year in the spring and early summer, much work is dedicated to strategic and operating planning for the Club. As we work to rebuild our revenues and membership levels, we are carefully and precisely making operational decisions that allow us to dedicate the resources we have to enhance your membership experience while maintaining the financial stability of the Club. Our recovery is ongoing and keeping up at promising levels. As office workers return to downtown and tourism once again thrives with the new waterfront project, we are welcoming new members and the return of out-of-town members. In order to maintain the growth of membership, it is critical that we continue to improve our amenities. A dedicated Reform- er Pilates studio on the 8th Floor and a hot yoga studio on the 4th Floor are just two examples of amazing new amenities we are adding this fall. ese additions will have a direct impact on membership. I have spoken to many members about Reformer Pilates and hot yoga, and the excitement is palpable. As we look ahead, I challenge each of you to help us in this quest. Use the "Refer a New Member" feature on the home screen of the WAC app to let us know who you think would be a great member. en invite them to one of our lobby pop-ups, such as irsty ursday or Wellness Wednesday. ese events are the perfect opportunity to bring guests to the Club and make an introduction to the membership team. And most importantly, talk about us in your communities, on your social media, and in the office. is is our Club, and together we can build a stronger WAC! See you at the Club!
