ON THE COVER PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE This is my final newsletter message to the members of Fort Collins Country Club as my term as President comes to an end this month. At the Annual Meeting on October 20th, I’ll pass the baton to Sean Tomlinson, who has been Vice-President and a very active member of the Board this past year. I am confident that the Club will continue to make great strides under Sean’s leadership. I’ll stay involved Mark Smith Club President for the next year as Past-President and will offer my advice to the Board as we meet the challenges of becoming a year-round facility and work to implement Phase II of our strategic plan. It has been a pleasure and a privilege to serve as the President of the Club. I’ve learned much more than I ever imagined about our Club and our industry. I appreciate the tremendous amount of support I got along the way. Thanks. I’d like to offer up a few observations about the past year: • Our decision to invest in the Club has paid great dividends in just one year. We added over 70 new members to the Club in 2014. There is a more vibrant feel to the Club, and participation in all areas of the Club (golf, tennis, pool, dining) was up in 2014. • The Club met the financial goals we set at the beginning of the year and in the strategic plan. The focus on revenues and selective investments resulted in the best year on record. • The golf course was in the best shape ever in the 15 years that I’ve been a member. The Grounds team did a great job in beautifying our course while also having the greens and fairways in tip-top shape. • Our tennis teams represented FCCC well in USTA Leagues. We had men’s, women’s and mixed doubles teams move on to district and regional championships this year. It was also fantastic to see so many golf members also participating on the tennis teams. • At the beginning of the year, we set a goal to greatly improve the visibility and involvement of FCCC in the community. I am very pleased with our results in letting people know what we’re doing up here at the Club. I am also proud that FCCC gave back to the community through the charitable events we’ve sponsored. Thanks to our members for supporting the community. • Finally, our construction of Phase I is almost done. Thanks for being so tolerant with the minor inconveniences that accompanied the project. We’ll move forward with running a year-round Club, and if all goes according to plan, we’ll start the process all over again with Phase II, currently scheduled over the winter of 2015-2016. As for the future, the Board and I have asked Scott and the staff to put even more focus on excellence in operations in every department of the Club. A positive experience at our Club, combined with the best set of year-round amenities in the area is the surest way for our Club to remain vibrant and successful in the future. Finally, I want to thank those members who’ve volunteered to serve on the Board and Committees of the Club. In my two-and-a-half years as President, I’ve appreciated your efforts and results in improving our Club. If you see a Board member or committee member around the Club, say thanks…I certainly know they deserve it. See you at the Club! 2 :: OCTOBER 2014 OCTOBER PROMOS MONDAYS • Lunch Special – 20% off your entire bill from 11 AM-2 PM NEW GRILL ROOM HOURS Monday – Friday Bar: 9 AM-10 PM Food Service: 9 AM-8 PM Saturday – Sunday Bar: 7:30 AM-10 PM Food Service: 7:30 AM-8 PM • Monday Night Football – 5:30-6:30 Pre-game drinks specials $1.00 wells, $2.00 Calls and $1.00 Bud Light Drafts 16oz pints, $2.00 Bud Light 25oz Mug Refills.
