December Newsletter 2023
Dear MCC Members, Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to all. Make plans for you and your family to join us for Christmas Eve Brunch and/or Christmas Day Brunch. The New Year’s Eve Sunday Brunch will be a little different this year; an early celebration to ring in 2024. Also, I’ve mentioned Club Benchmarking in the past, they are the consulting firm who helps some 400 private clubs nationwide with, well, benchmarking. They help compare clubs like MCC with clubs of similar size and complexity. What we’ve found out from them is that we are doing some pretty amazing things here. I can proudly say that it takes a dedicated team of staff, managers, committees, and board members to make and maintain this great club. Having said that, Club Benchmarking is also helping with a strategic plan for MCC. No longer can we only focus on the present, but we must keep in mind our future. As such, CB is helping us navigate a five-year plan for continued success. In addition, we are revisiting our mission, vision, and core values with their help. As we move forward in the process, I will keep you posted. On a different subject, kindly remember that pets are not allowed on club property. We have always, and continue, welcoming service animals at the club for those with disabilities, but MCC rules prohibits pets. Please know that we continue with a full membership with a short waitlist. As I have stated many times: what a great time to be a member of McAllen Country Club. If you haven’t signed up for CLUBSTER, please do so. The app helps us communicate directly to your phone, computer or electronic device. I truly hope that you and your family have a safe and wonderful holiday season. With that, I look forward to seeing you around your club,
