Pride of Ohio Closing

noreply@blogger.com (Sheena Clevenger) — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:29:00 +0000

Dear Pride families,

I'm writing this to let you know that as of April 22, Pride of Ohio will be closing.

All classes and private lessons will conclude on March 28, and the team will finish out their season with their last competition on April 21.

I have truly enjoyed teaching and getting to know your children, and I wish you the best as you move on to other athletic opportunities.

Sincerely,

Sheena Clevenger

Credit Card Policy - Phase 2

noreply@blogger.com (Sheena Clevenger) — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 18:10:00 +0000

Dear Parents,

We are now rolling out Phase 2 of our Credit Card Policy. Effective January 1, 2013, Pride of Ohio will require all customers be enrolled in our automatic monthly payment program. Your card information will be input into a secure website, Authorize.net (maintained by Visa), then the section containing sensitive information will be shredded. Cards will be charged for your monthly tuition on or around the 5th of each month.

As of January 1, we will no longer accept any payments at the gym. Any fees other than monthly tuition (competition fees, SpiritWear purchases, etc.), can be paid online through our website, or checks can be mailed to our mailing address.

Please download a New Credit Card Agreement and return it to the gym between now and January 1. Any customers who do not have their updated agreement on file as of January 1 will be charged a $10 administration fee monthly until the agreement is on file. You can go to PrideOfOhio.net to download your agreement. Customers already enrolled in automatic payments will not need to fill out a new form until their card or payment plan expires.
