I wanted to thank the RCSC staff for successfully ( yay! ) fighting to save the club. The RCSC is a bit like a healthy version of Cheers. It is a great place to stop by at on my way home, unwind and go home feeling better. I would have missed it if I was forced to go to a McGym. Continue

Discussion on various member options

As a problem solver, would anyone care to post what they feel is the problem. Unfortunately, Rock Creek demonstrated symptoms of leadership weaknesses for some time. As a trained "paid board director," I observed weaknesses in the board of directors which may be of interest as we proceed. Though I was surprised to receive a letter notifying me of the situation.

Our Member list is only worth $300,000?

"The sale to L.A. Fitness is planned for $300,000"......This is ridiculously low and would imagine that the former owners would be competitive with this price? Anyone know more? Thank you. Continue

Can someone post the letter from the court?

Because my mailing address in the Crunch database was incorrect, I never got a copy of the court's letter announcing the proposed sale. Can someone scan it and post it here? Or guide me to where I can find it? Thanks! Matthew Continue

Defending RCSC against LA Fitness Offer

I would like to sign the petition when it is available hoping to keep RCSC at its present location iwth its present staff. My observations below may trigger ideas by others on sutiable action. 1. I [ Lawrence aposner] and my son, David Alexander Posner, are members at RCSC so that makes us creditors for services not yet provided to us as members and for personal training. If these services are not provided at the Grubb Road faciity and by the excellent staff who have been providing the services… Continue
