Azout Clubs

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) October 29, 2011

For 20 years, Boys & Girls Clubs of America (http://www.bgca.org) has been providing the children of American military families? vital services and programs ? wherever they are stationed around the world. Since 1991, children have had access to on-base Youth Centers that offer the same guidance and proven programs – focusing on academic success, good character and citizenship and healthy living – provided by traditional Boys & Girls Clubs across the United States.

?Children of military families face more than the usual challenges of growing up, from moving and re-establishing friendships every few years to worrying about family members who have been deployed,? says Terrill Wicks, vice president, Military Services & International Projects for Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

As the military deploys troops in and out of multiple active combat zones, BGCA?s traditional Clubs also assist families with the transition to civilian life, especially when the youth has a wounded, ill, or injured parent.

The Next Five Years

With the just-announced plan to have all U.S. troops out of Iraq by the end of this year, and the goal of drawing down the U.S. military presence in Afghanistan over the next five years, BGCA?s mission will adapt accordingly. The influx of military parents returning from war is expected to result in a corresponding rise in mental health issues for both youth and parents.

BGCA training and support will focus more on that area, and the organization plans to increase community support through traditional Clubs. Staff will assist families with the transition to civilian life, especially when children have a wounded, ill or injured parent.

What the Youth Centers Offer

From teen leadership groups to fine arts exhibitions, BGCA-affiliated Youth Centers give members a safe haven to learn and grow. The military Youth Center is a positive place that offers a wide variety of educational, recreational, cultural and social activities. Using a comprehensive youth development strategy, caring, trained staff provide guidance in helping girls and boys to:

????Discover needs and pursue interests
????Nurture talents
????Broaden viewpoints and dissolve prejudices
????Resolve conflicts
????Set goals
????Develop better sense of self

A History of Service

Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s partnership with the military began in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. As parents in the Reserves and National Guard were deployed overseas, BGCA asked local Clubs to reach out to children in need, providing memberships and special programming to some 17,000 youth.

Over the next two decades BGCA worked with the Department of Defense to develop formal partnerships to extend the program to each branch of the Armed Forces — Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. Today the program is thriving across all fronts, with 386 Youth Centers serving almost 460,000 children in the United States and 15 different countries.

?Military children are resilient and proud of their parents? service. The changes in the type of wars our country fights, and the multiple deployments that go along with that, require us to re-focus the support we provide to military youth,? says Wicks. ?This is particularly important during the deployment and reintegration process, where we must sustain and strengthen their resiliency.?

A Sense of Continuity

Youth Centers are there to help, providing stability and a sense of place. Most military parents are redeployed every two to three years, creating a challenge for their children to settle in and make friends. The consistent Boys & Girls Club programs at every military installation Youth Center address that issue, so youth see familiar services, programs and resources no matter where their family is deployed.

And because military families are located in every community, especially now that more than 75 percent of them live off-base, Boys & Girls Clubs everywhere open their doors to children of all military families. The Clubs give these young people a safe place to go, staffed with caring adults who provide relief.

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) October 05, 2011

Hair Club, the nation?s largest provider of all-proven hair loss solutions for men and women, today announces the finale of their 35th anniversary cross-country motorcycle tour with Paul Teutul Sr., star of Discovery Channel?s reality television program American Chopper.

In celebration of the company?s 35th anniversary, Hair Club partnered with Orange County Choppers to design a custom-built motorcycle unveiled on-air in a January 2011 episode

of American Chopper. Created by the show?s star and proprietor of Orange County Choppers, Paul Teutul, Sr., the bike?s design commemorates Hair Club?s milestone year. The custom

chopper incorporates the 35th anniversary logo and features illustrative design elements such as razor-edged front forks, shear-like custom rims, and a specialty paint job depicting skulls, both bald and with flaming heads of hair.

“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our company’s anniversary,” expressed Hair Club CEO Darryll Porter. ?We all have that romantic, iconic image of speeding down an open stretch of highway on a motorcycle, hair whipping behind us, but that vision doesn’t have quite the same effect if your hair is thinning or you’re suffering from hair loss.”????

Over the past year, the chopper made appearances at some of the country?s largest rallies and bike events, now making its final stop at the Orange County Choppers headquarters in Newburgh, New York. Teutul will be broadcasting from New York via satellite to networks and affiliates nationwide on October 6th to discuss the design of the custom Hair Club chopper, the company?s milestone anniversary, and also his own connections to the brand as a patient.

During the filming of Hair Club?s two-part American Chopper episode, Teutul visited Hair Club centers in New York and New Jersey. After a hair and scalp analysis by one of Hair Club?s licensed specialists, he received a transplant procedure to address his own hair loss. In addition, Hair Club provided complimentary services to Orange County Choppers staff member Storm Sasaki, who lost his hair during radiation treatment for cancer.

ABOUT HAIR CLUB:

Founded in 1976 by Sy Sperling, 2011 marks Hair Club?s 35th year in business. The leader in

Hair restoration and the largest company in the industry offering all proven hair loss solutions,

Hair Club has granted more than 500,000 men, women and children with an experience that has truly changed their lives.

As Mr. McKay pointed out: ?The TAG team provided me with a turn-key solution to my annual membership drive. Not only did I save a great deal of money, the process was very simple and easy. I don?t see why any independent health club would not be doing the same thing?.

The TAG Health Club Network was founded in 2010 by John Atwood, a veteran health club owner, operator and consultant. The TAG concept is to offer smaller, independent Health Clubs the resources, information and negotiating power of the national chains. Membership is free. TAG offers monthly member TAG TALKS around a variety of topics. The upcoming November Talk is focused on Operating Cost Management and how independent clubs can no longer depend on membership growth alone but rather need to find and implement ways to operate more cost effectively thereby improving their bottom line.

These wine club reviews enable consumers to make educated decisions as to which wine club is right for them and ensures they avoid the wine clubs with poor performance records.

All wine tasting clubs featured in the directory were tested for a minimum of one year to ensure any potential problems, such as poor wine quality or shipping / packaging issues, we’re brought to light.

Each wine club review contains detailed information on overall experience, wine quality, pricing, packing & delivery and customer service. In addition, some wine clubs provide special offers to Wine Club Directory.net users that are not available anywhere else. These include up to 6 free bottles of wine and special bottle openers that only the best vintners use.

While the Wine Clubs Directory has tested and reviewed well over 100 different wine clubs, ranging from California wine clubs to white wine clubs, only those wine clubs with a 3 star rating or above are made available to consumers to ensure they don’t accidentally pick one of the poorer quality wine clubs.

The Wine Clubs Directory continues to test and review new wine clubs on a monthly basis and makes those reviews available for free to all website visitors.

The TAG Health Club Network has been formed to support independent health clubs. In making the announcement, John Atwood, TAG?s Founder stated: ?As I was helping independent health clubs to become financially healthier ? one at a time, I concluded that by forming a network, my team could provide broader support across any number of independent health clubs in helping them to discover and implement ways that they could operate more cost effectively and more profitably.?

He continued; ?As health club consultants, we test marketed this group power concept focusing on marketing support. Ten health clubs participated. The results were amazing. We had a situation where one participant saved over $ 3,800 for just one direct mailing. On average, the savings ranged from $ 700 to $ 850 per mailing.? Atwood said his network of health clubs and gyms is focused on saving money across the board with fitness equipment, health club software, credit card and EFT fees, utilities, and almost any other expense incurred by a health club, gym, or fitness center. The network is even working to lower prices in areas as diverse as facility design, website development, and staff training. Atwood says ?the bottom line is if you spend money on it we will work to bring the cost down while maintaining the quality. We are working strategically to provide independent clubs some of the infrastructure, and advantages of scale, that large organizations enjoy.?

The TAG Network recently added their 20th member with a goal of reaching 250 members by mid 2012. Membership includes a baseline purchasing cost analysis to identify immediate cost savings opportunities. Monthly web conferences are also available to members to gain new insights and share ideas regarding such matters as financial management, SEO web optimization, and cost-effective marketing programs. Emails are sent out announcing new partnerships with vendors that have agreed to lower prices for network members. And a list of vendors who agree to discounts will be put on the TAG Network website for any member to access.

Atwood concluded; health club and gym management is challenging; ?Health club membership growth, nationally, is being far outpaced by the proliferation of new clubs. Many independent clubs are hitting a crisis point and must begin to manage in a new way to compete with the big players. In my work with clubs, especially in this increasingly competitive situation, I have found that simply ?grabbing? new members is not the answer — success is driven in large part by better operating efficiencies across the board. That?s what TAG is all about.?

And now a quote: as Thomas Paine said in the throes of the American Revolution – - – ?These are the times that try men?s (and women?s) souls?. Today, Independent health clubs are in a “Battle for Survival” and these are trying time to be sure; but vision and dedication, merged with the combined powers of a network of independent clubs, can bring these clubs through the hard times, and help them emerge as strong independent businesses and centers of their communities.

Maui, Hawaii (PRWEB) August 04, 2011

The 2011 Club Managers Association of America (CMAA) Finance and Operations Report reveals the Maui Country Club as an affordable option among its competitors. Maui Country Club resides in the Small Market Segment along with 103 other clubs in that category whose annual revenue lands below 3.5 million. The survey finds that Maui Country Club charges less in membership fees when compared to other clubs within this segment.

Five recurring fees were analyzed among the Small Market Segment clubs, and they include: regular dues, food and beverage minimum charge fees, capital dues fees, house service charge fees, and special capital assessment fees. The average total for recurring fees among Small Market Segment Clubs is $ 455 per month and $ 5460 per year. Maui Country Club only assesses the regular dues for a total recurring fee of $ 250 per month and $ 3000 per year.

According to the report, these recurring monthly fees applied in addition to dues at other clubs, range from $ 25 to $ 40 per month in each category mentioned above. Maui Country Club charges no fees for each category listed aside for the membership dues. That difference yields a potential savings of up to nearly $ 1400 annually for Maui Country Club Members over other small market clubs. Medium and Large Market Clubs have even higher recurring fees.

The 2011 CMAA Finance and Operations Report is among the largest, most relevant surveys within the club industry; it had 452 CMAA clubs participate. The report measures a club?s management and success by examining its overall income and finances, food and beverage costs, course maintenance and golf operations, memberships, general and administrative costs, buildings and facilities, recreation and athletic fees.

Another major aspect of membership costs is the initiation fee; which the survey reports average $ 25,000 for the Country Club segment. Maui Country Club?s $ 5,000 membership initiation fee is refundable up to 80%, representing affordability and low risk to its members present and future.

Part of Maui?s success comes from referrals. Maui Country Club rewards its members with referral incentives and encourages its customers to introduce friends, family, doctors, lawyers, business associates, and others to the club.

Members of Maui?s Country Club benefit from a variety of year round activities including golf, tennis, swimming, pool aerobics, yoga, and themed social events for all ages. The Club has a restaurant, fitness center, hosts wine & book clubs, and is located on one of the North Shore?s great beaches.

Paia Maui, HI (PRWEB) September 27, 2011

Maui Country Club is proud to announce an incredible shift in interest towards their website and Club since they launched an effective PR effort early in 2011.

The Club?s website, which was originally launched in February of 2010, has seen the number of visitors per month jump:

Up 77% from launch
Up 23% from the beginning of 2011
Up 16% from July to August

These results are due to an energetic new PR campaign that has shown a spotlight on this highly exclusive and once, virtually unknown club. The aim of this PR effort was to demonstrate the excellence of the Club, located on the North Shore with private beach access, for fully endorsing a ?Maui laid back? atmosphere.

?This is not your ordinary country club,? says Luana Pa`ahana, the Membership & Marketing Coordinator for Maui Country Club. ?We have a uniquely diverse membership, from music and movie icons, pro wind & kite surfers and stand-up paddlers, to business people and local families whose membership dates back to the early plantation days when the club was founded.?

The Maui club boasts a variety of features that differentiates it from other country clubs. The various sports and events offered, as well as the amazing dining aspects, combined with the North Shore location on gorgeous Baby Beach makes for a largely appealing experience. Baby Beach is perfect for the surf community, a member not generally attracted to nor embraced by traditional clubs, but welcomed with open arms by Maui Country Club.

Maui Country Club hosts a diverse range of amenities that appeal to everyone, from golfers and tennis players to those that are purely there for the socializing, to kite surfers. In fact, recently the club was mentioned in Maui Time Magazine for a kite surfing camp hosted by Bill Tai, co-founder of the Maui MaiTai Kite Camp.

Club Members are quick to point out the differences that make it so special. ?My friends and family can?t believe I joined a country club – but I?ve never experienced a club like Maui Country Club, there?s nothing like it,? said one member.

This unique country club experience is topped off by a code of conduct that makes for a relaxing, friendly experience. Part of the ?Maui laid back? theme includes a relaxed dress code that allows for shorts and flip flops ? a huge change from standard country club dress. Combined with an atmosphere of exclusivity, excitement, and peaceful coexistence, where members can kick back and be themselves, membership with Maui Country Club leads to a rewarding, fulfilling experience.

?What is surprising to these new visitors on the Club?s website is how affordable it is. A refundable family membership has a one-time entrance fee of $ 5,000 with a full unlimited membership cost of just $ 250 per month; making it within reach of most,? says Pa`ahana.
