FEATURED STAFF THE ARBUTUS CLUB
Adi Jaya Mahendra duty manager (mod)
You may have noticed a new face at the MOD Desk. Our new Duty Manager Adi Jaya Mahendra is happily tending to membership needs, so don't be afraid to introduce yourself when he's walking the halls or greeting you as you walk through the Club Reception doors. Adi has extensive experience working in the hospitality and tourism industry, having worked in multiple hotels and resorts, both abroad in Bali, Indonesia and locally in Vancouver. Currently working towards his Bachelor’s Degree in Hospitality Management, Adi looks to expand his knowledge and acumen of the industry. Hailing from Nusa Penida, a diving magnet and beach-laced island off the south east coast of Bali, Adi is sure to have plenty of stories to share about literal paradise. According to Adi, the best things to do in Nusa Penida are diving, snorkeling, water sports, sightseeing, and mingling with locals during community activities. Stop by, say hello, and we're sure you'll walk away with an idea about your next vacation destination.

office administrator Our administration area also has a new team member helping around the office. Alex Karanis joined the team as our new Office Administrator. Although Alex will support our entire Administration team, he will primarily work with Membership and Accounting. Alex first joined The Arbutus Club as a Lifeguard in June of 2021, so he is relatively familiar with the Club and our members. With a background in Business Administration and Film Production, he knows his way around the office and is great at thinking on his feet. Originally from Markham, Ontario, Alex also worked at the Granite Club in Toronto for 4 years and is very familiar with the private members club industry. He always brings a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and energy to his work, and we trust that he will be a valuable addition to our team. As a former Film Production student, Alex is a huge movie buff and appreciates creative cinematography – with his favorite movie of all time being The Godfather.
