A Message From The Board of Directors

Members,

It has been a busy quarter on the mountain. The board and staff have been hard at work striving to be the best family club in the region. Here are a few accomplishments in the past 90 days:

A successful annual meeting at the conference center, which helped members understand our financial picture and strategic mission of the club If you did not make the meeting and would like a copy, please let Norman Morrow know

The opening of the pool has been a huge success with new pool-side food service and the popular Cabana bar opening. We rolled out the Point-of-Sale system in June and it has helped with mobile and pool side ordering. There have been 3,598 people at the pool this summer since May 26th. Cramer Mountain has begun hosting swim meets for our children as well. This has been a huge success, with pool side burgers and hotdogs on Monday nights. In total, we've had 964 people attend the two swim meets this summer. Visiting clubs have been impressed with our service and pool operations, and many have asked about possible membership. You might have seen additional picnic tables and umbrellas for parties and for general use, this has increased capacity of seating by nearly 50 people at the pool Shannon Irish and the lifeguard team have done a magnificent job this season, with our new in-house pool operations

On the financial side, the club has completed its first compilation financial statement for year end, with the help of our in-house financial team and our outside CPA partner, Leigh Blair. The club officially owns the locker rooms, pro shop, cart barn and bag storage area. This transaction closed in June and had accreditive savings of nearly $5,500.00 in the first month. In review of the financials, you will see the club is ahead of last year and making a profit. A full slate of fall events and entertainment have been approved through the rest of the year. Membership has grown to well over 530 members for the first time in many years Our program to upgrade to equity and upgrade membership levels was a success as well, more than 30 members upgraded their memberships The new Junior Membership program has taken off with 10 new members this year. Golf has been taken to another level at the mountain. With the support of our new golf professional, lessons and course play have increased. There have been 4,093 rounds of golf this quarter. We had well over 2,000 rounds in the month of May. Tennis has blasted off this spring and summer with lessons and camps as well. We have also had a number of successful outings with at least 20 more scheduled through the end of the year
