Two Ribbon Cutting's This Week!

Wednesday May 24: Emerald Fitness Club (formally known as Better Bodies) was purchased by Shane & Sara May April 1, 2016. They also purchased Ironworks Gym in Creswell, which is now known as Emerald Fitness Club or EFC. Having both clubs opens up the option for a dual membership, more classes, access to the heated pool, hot tub, sauna’s, tanning, personal training and the list goes on! Emerald Fitness Club, Cottage Grove moved to its new location in Dec. 2016. The new location offers a larger space, better parking, access to the running trail, and space in the back for outdoor workouts/bootcamps. It has been an incredible year for them! Their goal is to create a fun, safe, welcoming, non judgmental environment where people love coming, get fit and have fun doing so! They have an amazing team, their clubs are fully staffed at all times and the team loves visiting and getting to know their members! They are excited to spread our love for fitness! So join us on Wednesday May 24, 5:00pm at 240 Gateway Blvd to check out their new digs, learn more about all they have to offer, and welcome them to the neighborhood!

Thursday May 25: South Lane Mental Health will celebrate the opening of an outpatient substance use disorder program for adolescents (ages 14 and up), adults with a dual diagnosis of a mental/emotional health and substance use problem, and individuals who are currently on, or expected to be on, prescription medication for pain. South Lane Mental Health was established in Cottage Grove in 1988. The nonprofit organizations mission is to restore hope and renew lives through mental health services, support, and advocacy. Services include: outpatient community-and school-based counseling, crisis response, medication and case management, a model Intensive Community-based Treatment Services for Children program, and a foster home and supported living services for adults with persistent and severe mental illness. Help us celebrate with them by attending this ribbon cutting on Thursday May 25, 3:30 pm at their new outpatient clinic, 75 S. 5^th Street.
