FROM THE president

Duy Nguyen, 2023 PRESIDENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS

As I sit down to write this letter, halfway through my year as president, I am filled with a profound sense of appreciation for our Club. The Briar Club and our staff have stood as a testament to our dedication, passion, and shared values that define us as a Club. It is my honor to serve you toward a future filled with wonderful experiences and good memories.

Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to everyone for “pardoning our dust” as we start construction on the Competition Lap Pool. We will endeavor to provide you consistent updates through The Beacon as our staff works to keep you informed in attempt to make this process run smoothly. With renovations soon underway, we invite you to join us in saying goodbye to the old competition lap pool with our "Trash the Pool" Party. This will be an opportunity to have fun and get a little messy, as we prepare for a new pool! Keep a lookout for more details to come.

At The Briar Club, safety is always a top priority. In this spirit, I kindly urge parents to remain vigilant in keeping their children in our designated safe areas around The Club. By working together to prioritize the well-being of our younger members, we can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.

The ongoing construction serves as a testament to our continuous efforts to improve our facilities. Over the years you have seen the growth and evolution of our offering to our members. We believe it is the responsibility of the board and the leadership team to ensure The Briar Club provides the highest quality amenities for all our member use cases. You can see examples of this in the new clubhouse, the lawn area, the clay courts, and the Family Grill. Whether you attend The Club for our fitness facility, racquet sports, swimming pools or restaurants we want the experience to be commensurate with the highest of expectations. Our new competition pool is another step in our progression.

Finally, I want to take a moment to highlight the remarkable success of The Club's Employee Scholarship Fund. Through our partnership with the Greater Houston Community Foundation, we continue to provide invaluable support to our dedicated staff and their families. The recent recipients of the Briar Club Employee Scholarship Fund are listed in the back of this newsletter, and I encourage you to learn more about this incredible initiative and consider contributing to its ongoing success.

As we embrace the summer season, I invite each of you to stay cool, savor the exceptional offerings of the Club, and create lasting memories with your loved ones. The Briar Club remains committed to providing an extraordinary experience for our members, and I eagerly look forward to seeing you all at The Club.

Wishing you a wonderful summer,

Duy Nguyen

2023 President, Board of Directors
