FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Fellow Members –

Springtime brings an expanded focus on our outreach to membership of the PCNY, and to that end, I want to share both our progress in meeting member expectations and our plans for continuing that progress in the months to come.

Our Community and Clubhouse. Over the past several months, we have A Key Investment Not Visible to the Eye. The Club has invested in a Cloud- continued to successfully deliver on two key member priorities: based information technology system to allow for integrated information • Develop a broad range of opportunities to socially gather in management across our accounting, marketing and membership functions. our Clubhouse Over the next few months, members who interact with our website will notice considerable ease of digital communication when making reservations for Club • Offer varied and robust University-sponsored and University-related events, dining, and guestrooms, as well as improvements in bill pay and instant events for graduates, undergraduates, faculty and staff, and their families online account review. In addition, our professional staff continues to improve services throughout all Our systems were generations behind the times, and we believe all members Club functions, including food and beverage. will benefit from these upgrades. Last spring, we took on two additional member priorities: • Upgrade the appearance and functionality of the first floor and The Financial Front. A secondary set of technology improvements in our guestroom areas of the Clubhouse accounting system and the retooling of our financial department staff have • Expand business-related workspace for members in the Clubhouse improved our bottom line results over the past 12 months. Despite these For those of you who frequent the Clubhouse, you may ask why progress on monetary savings, operating expenses are increasing due to: these two priorities has been uneven, and it is important that this letter address • Labor cost increases those issues. • Real estate tax increases On the upside, we had a successful Voluntary Capital Contribution campaign, • Food and supply cost increases which raised the funds needed for a number of critical items: As a result, we need to increase our flow of revenues which requires us to come • A striking but cost-efficient renovation of the lobby areas of to you, our members, to ensure that we continue to maintain and operate our the Clubhouse programs and facilities to the level expected and requested by the membership • Brand new exercise equipment in the gym at large.

• Improved seating in the library and lighting in the members’ lounge After careful consideration by our Finance Committee – and after thorough deliberation and discussion by the full Board of Governors – it has been However, priority items are yet to be completed: decided that: • The creation of a dedicated business center • A modest increase in dues will be included in your annual statement. • The upgrading of our guestrooms and hallways This will be the first increase since 2011 and comes after a dues reduction • Further improvements to our athletic facilities was implemented in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. • A modest Capital Improvement Fee will be added as part of the renewal fee for membership in the Club. By spreading the funding of these costs across the entire membership, we are minimizing the contribution that any one member will make, while continuing to ensure all members benefit from these improvements to the Club.

Where will the proceeds from the Capital Improvement Fee go? These proceeds will be set aside to fund: • The creation of a business center • The continued modernization of guestrooms • The upgrade of functional spaces in the Clubhouse The details for these improvements will be communicated to all members as plans progress.

Newly refurbished lobby The Board is excited to begin these much needed and asked for improvements to the Clubhouse and anticipates that you will be very pleased with the results.

I thank you in advance for your cooperation and your continued membership in the Club.
