March Newsletter2023
Welcome
New Members
Dear MCC Members,
As I’ve mentioned in the last several months, MCC has now reached 885 members which is our capacity according to our by-laws. Now we start a wait list
Also, unfortunately, I fell last month breaking my ankle which led to surgery I will be away from the club on the mend for several more weeks. I have no doubt that you are in good hands with my department heads and their staff in place. I certainly miss our great membership and staff, but I’ll be back soon.
The pool house and tennis shop renovation continues; we still plan to be finished for summer.
As I’ve stated many times: what a great time to be a member of McAllen Country Club.
With that, I look forward to seeing you around your club, Jeff
