2 MAR/APR 2020 Letter to the Membership

LETTER TO THE MEMBERSHIP by Ryan Doerr, President, Strategic Club Solutions

Dear Fellow Members,

It's been said there are a few things that get better with age - fine wine, great cheese, a good scotch or whiskey, and the MAC is no exception. While the last two years have presented a multitude of challenges, the MAC and its members remain resilient together for a brighter and stronger future. It is this dedication, hustle, and fortitude that makes MAC members who they are. I was inspired by a recent voicemail shared with me from an 84-year-old member who has been with the club for 60 years. He called Brad to say he wanted to support the Club by sponsoring a "1st One's On Me." He said this is because, "after all the years of membership I owe the Club something. What you all have done to keep it moving through everything is over and above what anyone would expect, except we are the MAC and that's what we do." This is such a testament to the passion of our membership.

As private club consultants, my team and I have the great pleasure of working with clubs across the country and there are clear elements of what makes a successful club. You need strong leadership, good governance, a common vision, a talented and dedicated staff aligned with the vision, and a plan for the future. While the MAC may not have always had all these elements perfectly aligned for a variety of reasons, I see everything now falling into place. We are honored to be a part of this journey in bringing the vision to reality, strengthening the financial health of the Club, and working with the stakeholders as we execute the plan for the future. Even with our expertise, none of this is possible without you - the loyal, committed group of members who have supported the Club whether it be through volunteering, committee service, or use of the Club, through construction and a pandemic. Thank you.

With the project in full swing, now is a great time to refer colleagues, friends and professionals. With strong partners and leadership, the Milwaukee Athletic Club will be the sought-after Club in the city of Milwaukee and even the Midwest. Nothing will come close to the caliber of service, amenities, facilities, and the quality of people who will gather at the MAC. Dues will never be this low again. Please join us in the quest to grow our membership over the coming months. If you have someone in mind, please connect with Maggie or Brad and they can reach out on your behalf. With exciting times ahead, we hope you will show up and bring others along on the journey as we bring our vision for the new MAC facilities and experiences to life.

See you at the Club,

Ryan Doerr

President, Strategic Club Solutions Interim Management Consultant

10 Easy Habits for Better Health

The pandemic has made it easy to get bogged down in a non-productive routine. The featured book in this issue of Club Life is Atomic Habits, which teaches how tiny habits can yield remarkable results to help you get motivated and achieve goals. Below are 10 habits easy habits for getting out of the funk of your COVID routine and improving your health.

1. Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning when you wake up - before you have your morning cup of coffee. 2. If you want to drink more water throughout the day, fill water bottles and place them around your house where you spend the most time - you will naturally find yourself reaching for more water. 3. If you plan to work out in the morning, lay out your work out clothes, gym shoes and water bottle the night before. This will make it easier to prevent yourself from skipping your workout the next day. 4. If you’re having a hard time integrating a workout into your day, start with a habit that is so small and easy it would be ridiculous not to complete it - like starting by setting a timer for a 2-minute workout. 5. Eat breakfast every day. 6. When you’re working at a desk, stand up every hour for a brief stretch break. 7. In order to be more mindful about eating, don’t eat meals at your computer or in front of the TV. 8. Pair a fruit or vegetable with every meal. 9. Stack a habit with an existing habit to easily ingrain it into your daily routine. For example, brushing your teeth each morning is a habit you already do. If you want to do 10 push ups every day, “stack” them onto the habit of brushing your teeth. Every time you brush your teeth, you will immediately do 10 push ups. 10.Plan your meals at the beginning of each week - this will make it easier to eat healthy and avoid grabbing fast food because you don’t have a meal planned.
