From the Catering Department

Now More Than Ever….Recently, many of you took a survey that outlined different aspects of the Club and your use of the Club as a whole.Surprisingly, only 21% of those who took the survey host events at the Club.

Which means we have the opportunity to show 79% of our Members what we can do in the Events Department.

The overall perception of the Events Department, based on the responses from the survey, was consistent and pointed to 3 main points:Value,ServiceandConvenience.

Many of you may not know …

• TheClubcanhostintimatedinnersoftwotocorporateor social affairs as large as 650 guests

• TheGrandDiningRoomcanseatupto200witha dance floor

• TheSpruillRoomcanaccommodateupto60peoplefora Luncheon or Dinner

• TheGardensattheRaviniaClubmaybeusedfor cocktail parties

The Club is very competitive in their pricing based on a comparison to other Event Facilities in the area.

As a Member of the Ravinia Club you may “sponsor” an event which allows your friend, relative or business associate to waive a $500 non-member fee.

Please keep us in mind if you or anyone you know is planning an event. We would love the opportunity to show you all the Club has to offer and to assist you in the future! Please contact Laura Potts, Catering Director, 770-392-7328 or [email protected].

Spa Wellness....Did you Know?Save 10% off all SunblocksSkin damage is cumulative. Translation…the more unprotected sun exposure you get the higher your cancer risks become regardless of skin color.

The Spa at Ravinia offers a variety of sunscreens best suited for your skin type and needs.

New Product Feature: A.G.E Interrupter by Skinceuticals! Save $10.00 Fight age at its root: glycation. Intrinsic aging, caused by internal factors such as hormonal shifts and metabolic slowdown, contributes greatly to skin sagging, creping, thinning, and cracking. While glucose is a vital cellular fuel, glycation causes unmetabolized glucose to stick to collagen and elastin, resulting in fibers that become rigid and less elastic. Fight glycation with our A.G.E moisturizer.

Sign up to be on the Spa at Ravinia’s email list and receive special promotions and savings on treatments and retail.

On Sundays and Mondays when the Spa is closed, appointments may be booked by calling the Athletics Desk at 770-392-7301.
