Goodlife Health Clubs wants to say thank you to all our loyal members. To celebrate your loyalty, we’ll be holding a national Member Appreciation Day every month. This monthly event will see staff perform random acts of kindness for members. A ‘no computer’ policy will also allow staff to spend quality time with each member. Member Appreciation Day is a fantastic opportunity to give members the chance to win great giveaways and take part in competitions in a bid to remind them of their important presence at the clubs. So, stay tuned as to when your local club’s monthly Member Appreciation Day will be held. It’s guaranteed to be a day of fun and a celebration that’s not to be missed.
Yvie Eglinton – a Goodlife Health Club member and triathlete – continues to inspire people with her courage and determination. After a cycling accident left Yvie wheelchair-bound in April 2009, this strong-minded woman has been encouraging people around the country to raise funds for spinal injuries. All funds raised continue to be donated to the Neil Sachse Foundation and the Hampstead Rehabilitation Centre in a bid to help find a cure for spinal injury and purchase adequate equipment to help Yvie and others in her situation. It has been encouraging seeing people raising funds through running, cycling and swimming to help contribute to this worthwhile cause.
Once again it was great to see so many of the members and staff of Goodlife Health Clubs participate in the annual City to Surf. This year saw a 90plus team support Glenn Orgais and his passion for supporting the Australian Red Cross. In February 2009, Glenn was attacked by a shark at Bondi Beach and needed the equivalent of 150 blood donations in order to save his life. Together, the team was able to establish a count of 750 donations or two months worth of blood donations for the Australian Red Cross. Special thanks to Martin Place Goodlife Health Club who contributed their time and prizes for the team. To continue to support blood donation, visit www.redcross.org.au
