Five Points Washington is lucky to have such a hard working& dedicated staff.Congratulations to both

winners!

Back to school time again! We are very excited that once again we will be able to respond to those who use the fitness facility by adding the desperately needed additional space for classes. We expect to begin the north addition project in early September. A special “thank you” to all members whose contributions helped us raise the necessary funds! Our only disappointment is that we are still significantly short of reaching our goal to address some needed enhancements to the “arts” side of the facility. The project on the south side of the facility would replace the current “emergency” door exit/entrance, enhance the south entrance to look as professional as the current main entrance, and add office space there for banquet and theater business transactions. Our campaign continues to raise the funds for this second phase of our expan-sions. Please call if you would like more information. 444-8200 Vikki October will be our 6th year anniversary. It is hard to imagine Washington without Five Points now. We are very blessed to have such a great facility in our back-yard. A big thank you to everyone who has made it possible.

Five Points Washington has been selected as WEEK’s winner of the viewer’s choice award for

Health and Fitness. And we are only going to get better with our new fitness addition!

**NEW MENU ITEMS** If you haven’t been to the smoothie bar in a few weeks, make sure you check out the new menu. We added vegetable fusion shakes a few months ago. And recently we have added a Cafe Blend section for those who love the taste of coffee. Get that great coffee taste while you are fueling your body with good nutrition. We also have added a few new shakes like Matcha Mint, very tasty, Nutter Butter, Chocolate Elvis and more. And the tried and true shakes are still available as well. For the value you can’t beat the taste and nutrition of a smoothie from the Take Five Juice bar. Where else can you get 20+ grams of protein, your fruits and vegetables, and all the vitamin and

minerals you get in one shake for under $6.00? It will be the best meal of your day.
