Happy Friday, Folks -
Well, the Edwardian Ball came and went. We did it. 34 Edwardian Balls over 22 years, and 3 cities (SF, LA, NOLA). It was a true blast and lovely finale for us....and I am so thankful that a few members and employees were there Friday night. We recorded the show, and eventually I'll see if any of it turned out OK. If it did, maybe I'll post a song or two. For those who have no idea what I am talking about, check the newsletter last week for a brief explanation....
Not a ton of new news in this newsletter, but plenty of reminders of upcoming events to keep a look out for including a member's 'succulent artistry' pop-up sale (great Valentine's Day gift idea!) this Sunday, a clothing and jewelry pop-up sale next weekend, a chance for customized Indian Wells experiences (last call!), important fitness updates from Leigh, a Valentine's Day Tennis Mixer (still need 8.0 Mxd pairs), an HPCF Beneficiary In Focus, spicy offering at the General Store, videos videos videos and more...

Pop-Up Sale of "Happiness in a Shell"
Come down and pick up a unique Valentine's Day gift for that special someone, or just treat yourself to one of these beauties.
Harbor Point member, Teresa (aka Teá) Chaffee is the business owner and designer of succulent and orchid artistry. Teá has been a resident of Mill Valley for the past 10 years. Like her mom, she has taken to the beauty of nature for creative inspiration, and like her dad, she is influenced by his love for all things related to the sea. The merging of land and sea has been her passion for creating living art arrangements, hence the business name “SeaGardens Marin”
Driven by her passion to create, Teá takes great pleasure in making arrangements using Succulents and Orchids set in an assortment of natural and ceramic seashells, and other themed planters. She is always proud to share with others what she affectionately calls “Happiness in a Shell”

Increase Strength and Mobility with Pilates and GYROTONIC Sessions
Harbor Point members (and non-members!) can improve their flexibility and achieve an overall feeling of balance at Carla Daro-Kaliski’s Spiral Studio. Her GYROTONIC and Pilates sessions can stimulate your muscle, skeletal, and nervous systems to increase strength and joint mobilization, as well as decompress the spine, so your whole body experiences greater vitality in a natural way. For beginners and experienced athletes, too.
You’re invited to try a discounted introductory package of 3 lessons, available for just $175. Book online and learn more at www.spiralstudiomarin.com. Reach out with any questions :)
I am loving Gyrotonic, and Carla is just fabulous. It has made me stronger and more flexible from just a few sessions, and is gradually improving the way I sit, stand, and move. Very subtle and pretty amazing stuff.

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
