Idea from Tammy - RETHINKING THE CATEGORIES "Centered" theme categories!

.....I believe we were all in favor of changing the brochure. One of the changes included rethinking the categories..."Centered" categories!!

How about making the categories fun and catchy. In place of the categories representing a human body or groups of bodies or corporations (ex. Individual, Family, etc.), we may want to offer categories with discounts applying to one of the following group types.

"Fitness Forward"
Group Classes: Yoga, Chair Yoga for Seniors, Pilates, Creative Movement for Kids
Health Fair: Cholesterol Screening, Blood Pressure Checks, Flu Shots
Watch Your Waist: Weight Loss Program

"For the Love of Art"
Group Art Classes: Watercolor, Pastels, Photography
Museum Bus Trips: Travel to DC art openings or the VA Museum

"Gourmet Enthusiast"
Discounts to certain restaurants (see below)
Cooking classes, nutritional workshops, and demonstration of how to use products from our local farmers (see below)


LOOK ON FOR MORE IDEAS:

1. Restaurant Discounts (sample below)
