In case you didn’t see it…an article about our business came out in Thursday’s paper. The article combined information about us with information about the Charles Young Center and the  Beaumont YMCA. The Silver Sneakers program was mentioned. A representative from the Silver Sneakers Program parent company, Healthways, called me last year and asked us […]

We finally received our copy of the license to be displayed in a prominent place at the club. It looks terrific next to the spa window. I was glad a woman who works at the state licensing office sent an electronic version a week sooner so we could “turn on” some key avenues that will […]

Words cannot express my gratitude for the course of events taking place this week. My son and husband have been working together with me to accomplish what needs to be done to get Grace Place in tip top shape for our members.
