A Message From Keith
Keith MooreThe Roadless Ride at Pura Vida was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who got involved and helped raise over $30,000 for Brent's Place, Denver. You have helped make it possible for families to stay near their children while they undergo cancer treatment and therapy. We thank you for helping to make this possible.

Great news! Beginning this week, we will be distributing personal parking key cards to each Pura Vida member. No longer will you have to struggle with the paper ticket validation system. We will be setting up terminals in the Lobby for you to get your card(s). Detailed information on usage, etc. will be given at the time of pick-up.

Vital Spa on the 4th floor is ready for summer! The new concept of Vital is based around customization of services at affordable prices. We have an extremely talented team of professionals, many the top in Denver, who specialize in a vast array of treatments and services. The "Build your Bliss" spa program allows you to chose the service or treatment, pick one of our many Vital enhancements (aromatherapy, scalp massage, hot stones, etc.) and add it to your treatment for the ultimate spa experience. If you have not visited Vital since the new concept has been in place, stop by and check out the new menu.

Also added to Vital and Pura Vida is Five-Element Acupuncture. With 5,000 years of history behind it, acupuncture remains for much of the world's population a way to relieve stress and anxiety, create a renewed and vitalized energy, and manage pain. Five-Element works intimately with Qi, the life force and our talented practioner, Marlene Bunch, is a master at this practice. Look for an interesting talk and Q and A on Five-Element Acupuncture on Monday, May 24th at 6:30pm.

I want to thank each of you for your comments and suggestions on how to make Pura Vida even better. I read these each day and take them to heart. I'm lucky to have a talented and dedicated staff who reviews these comments with me and works to make the club your place of refuge. I'm also lucky to have a boss who works hard right alongside all of us and pushes each of us to do just a little better. Without this support team, Pura Vida wouldn't be where it is today.

Enjoy your Spring!

Keith
