At Last, Spring Has Arrived!

Art Committee Are you aware that we have an Art Committee? It is composed of three Board members and management. I'm on the Committee along with Chris Davis, as Chair, Sue Schulli and our CEO, Greg Lundmark. In the 18 months, since this Committee was formed, we have re-framed and repositioned some of our paintings, held a silent auction to dispose of art that we had no room to display and could not store properly and hired Gibson Fine Art to bring in paintings for our members to enjoy and purchase, if they so desire. These paintings are changed every few months. We also have a small budget ($10,000) to spend on re-framing and purchasing, if the right paintings come our way. We would appreciate comments from our members on the displayed art.

Annual Maintenance Because our Club has a large active membership, there is a lot of wear on our facilities. To keep these facilities in good repair, we have an average annual budget of $2.5 million. An example of a recent upgrade is the stairway and landings leading from the badminton courts to the fitness facility. We received several questions about the time required to have the floor and stair coverings and baseboards in place. We were waiting for the arrival of the flooring and stair nosing. It is now completed and looks very nice. Thank you for your patience.

On the Capital Expenditure Side The repositioning of the Cafeteria and Administration is progressing well. Please see Greg Lundmark's comments. Thank you for dealing with the temporary inconveniences here as well.

Club Events The Icebreaker Road Race was held April 9. This has been an annual event for 29 years and is fully subscribed with 600 participants. Thank you to all the participants and to all the volunteers, who make this such a successful event.

We will hold our third annual Father/ Daughter Ball on June 10, 2017. The theme this year will be the circus! We encourage dads and daughters to find your best circus garb and come and enjoy a wonderful evening.

Summer House Membership Since there were no overcrowding issues last year, the Board has decided to allow House Members additional use of the facilities during the summer months for a fee. Similar to last year, pool use will be limited to twice a month. This program will be available from May 1 until September 4. Please contact our membership department for more information: membership@glencoe.org. A
