WELCOME

GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE

Welcome to April and I hope you enjoyed some of the great spring weather we had in March! The new website has been up for a few months, and we just recently launched the Black Hawk mobile app. If you are having any issues with logging in or using either the website or app please let Emily or myself know. Also, a quick reminder that starting this month, if you choose to pay by credit card for your statement or any transactions at the Club, a 3% convenience fee applies. The Club does not collect this fee - it is paid directly to our third-party credit card processor. If you need assistance with moving to ACH or other payment types without fees please let us know. We are finalizing capital plans which will start soon and I will send out a separate message in the weeks to come on our plans and projects with estimated start times. We are moving into grass growing season and the Black Hawk team has some great member events set up for April so check out the Member calendar and enjoy the activities. Read on for updates from each department and if I can be of any assistance, please let me know. Best Regards,

Mike Shoelen
