Save the Date: Post-Holiday Wellness Retreat Tuesday, January 31st What happens after all the holiday goodies have been consumed?

Together we can start the New Year on the right foot—the right foot of wellness—at Madison Station’s 3rd Annual PostHoliday Wellness Retreat! Let us help you back on the road to a healthier post-holiday lifestyle with informative presentations and fitness activities on Tuesday, January 31st from 10:00 am until 2:30 pm. More detailed information will be available in the January issue of the newsletter.

Until then, WE NEED YOUR INPUT! Dietician Caroline Pullen, MS, RD, LDN, Nutrition Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank, will be speaking at our Post-Holiday Wellness Retreat. What kinds of topics would you like to hear her speak about? Do you have sugar, diet, or balanced eating questions? Whatever your concerns are, let us know by turning in your ideas to the front desk so Ms. Pullen can tailor her presentation to what YOU want to know! There will also be a Q & A time during her presentation on January 31st.

Construction Update Well, sorry folks but yet again our renovation start date has been pushed back. There is so much construction taking place in Nashville that it will take longer than anticipated for our permits to get approved. Our new projected start date is January 3, 2017. Prior to that, we will be moving the front office into the conference room. Please note that when this happens, it will be VITAL that you stop by the “Chamber Hallway” to check in with your membership and Silver Sneakers card (if applicable). This is how our center gets revenue so please do not forget! If you haven’t seen the new plans for the center, they are located in the front office area.

We have already received many positive reviews and are excited to bring FiftyForward Madison Station a modern new look!
