The new cause that our 540 Family is taking on is a bit near and dear to our hearts, as we are going to try and help out one of our own.  Many of you from North and South have met Dunia at one of the gyms.  She is the TINY but HARDWORKING college student from Honduras that has been coming to the gym for over 2 years now.  Dunia is currently here in the states getting a degree but has come on hard times and is struggling with tuition.  If she cannot maintain enrollment at the U of A to get her degree she will have to go back home.....:( when she is so close to attaining her goal!  If you have anything that you could give to help out Dunia then please drop it off in the boxes at gym!  We have envelopes for cash donations and checks should be made out to Christian Life Cathedral, just put Dunia's name in the memo section.  If you would like to learn more about the great organization that helped bring her here, check out beyondmercy.com

Here are the standings after week one of the Open!!!!
What a tight race. Even with teams of 12 and 13 people, single reps mattered!!! You will see the points scored and then the ranking. After that you will see just how many points separated your team from the team that did one spot better. 
Big thanks to YTFS Your total Fitness Shop for helping out 540 with the weekly prizes. This week every member of the winning team will get a 10 dollar gift card to YTFS! 
On to 16.2!!!
