Photo2 by GrandNO LubellVEMBER Photography. 2015 President’s MESSAGE Friends, I have to be honest – following the writing abilities of past presidents Zerbey and Fedderke is a big challenge for a CPA, but I’ll do my best not to put you to sleep. In the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Club President John Fedderke. Looking back at what the Club has been able to accomplish under his guidance is impressive to say the least. The mortgage has been paid down, the HVAC system has been upgraded, our IT infrastructure has been upgraded and many of our exterior windows have been refurbished. In addition, our financial position has continued to improve under his direction. Thank you John! I am excited to report that the fall season is starting off in very promising fashion. We’ve hired a new chef; we’ve secured Ed Mackiewicz as our new food and beverage director, and despite poor weather, our Party in the Parking Lot was a success. Our busy event season and winter squash league are around the corner and I’m looking forward to seeing the Club and the parking lot full on a daily basis. Speaking of the parking lot, it continues to be one of the biggest issues we are faced with. We know it needs to be fixed and we have a plan in place to do it. I would be remiss if I didn’t comment on the passing of Bill Vaughan. It goes without saying that Bill was a class act and a tremendous member. As many of you know, he helped to manage the Club during a very difficult time. Bill is the reason I joined the Club and became involved in the Finance Committee. Bill was a terrific man and mentor. He will be missed and remembered. Becoming involved in the Finance Committee helped me to gain a better understanding of the Club and to develop more friendships. If you are not currently serving on one of our many committees and would be interested in doing so, please let me or one of the committee chairs know. I would highly encourage you to consider it.
