Congratulations are in order for Jim Rasmussen and his entire staff of employees and volunteers for a job well done. We ended the year with revenues that exceeded budget by over $200,000 and net profit that exceeded budget by over $80,000. This is the first time in our history that we have done this well. I also want to thank each of our members for your continued support of the club and its activities. You are important to us and without you we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Ralph Bartolotta in his article summarized all the wonderful things that the Home Association has been doing to approve the appearance and operation of the facility. I know 2012 will be full of good surprises from the Home Association in additional improvements. As Ralph mentioned in his article any contributions to the building fund will be greatly appreciated.

In our Club Manager’s Message, Jim has laid out for you most of the activities and events that are scheduled in February, March and April. As additional events are generated, you will receive email blasts notifying you of the time, date and all other particulars of the event. Please stay current and keep your calendars updated.

The food quality at the club continues to improve. I had one of the best meals, if not the best, at the Christmas Party in December I’ve ever had there. We are actively working at updating menus more frequently. Look for our next update about February 1 st . Your comments are always appreciated – that the only way we know what you really like and dislike. Again THANK YOU to our entire crew for a job well done in 2011. We look forward to big and better things in 2012. You’ve proven it can be done!
