a Letter From the gm

Dear Members,

I am honored and thrilled to be the General Manager here at Deering Bay. I knew this was a special place when I first arrived to the Club on an interim basis back in November, and that holds true with every day I have been here since.

I have greatly enjoyed meeting many of you over the past few months, and I am looking forward to getting to know more of you going forward. We have a great team of associates and managers at the Club, and the teamwork I have seen thus far is incredible.

It is an exciting time for many of us here at Deering Bay with plenty of golf events, tennis events, specialty dining and social events coming up this month. The Fitness Center is nearing completion with new equipment recently installed, and as Renny mentions in his letter, we are planning an Open House for members to learn about the new offerings and equipment as soon as possible. We will keep you all updated on dates for the Fitness Center Open House and official opening date.

I would like to welcome Deering Bay’s new Director of Food & Beverage, Anacelis Torres and Deering Bay’s new Executive Chef, Surelys Figueroa. Both Anacelis and Surelys have worked in various facets of the hospitality industry and have found that their passions lie within private clubs. Anacelis and Surelys are great additions to the Deering Bay team and I am confident that they will be great leaders of the Food & Beverage Department.

As you may have seen, the Board of Directors has revised the mask mandate for Club employees. Vaccinated employees are no longer required to wear masks indoors, but unvaccinated employees must continue to wear masks. Members and guests are not required to wear masks in the Clubhouse.

My door is always open and I enjoy listening to any comments and suggestions you may have. The future is bright at Deering Bay Yacht & Country Club!

Fran Roach, PGA General Manager
