Greetings!
Many of you have now experienced the "musical chairs" that happened last weekend, and the comments so far are very positive. We hope you are enjoying the new spaces that offer more choice, including some with more privacy or more elbow room. We want to hear feedback and ideas about ways we can tweak the new layout for maximum comfort for all. BTW, the most frequent comment was "where is the sofa?" It's still here! We'll let you find it.
Don't miss the January specials for memberships! See below. Have a great week.
