FWYC Letter Log August 2019 | Page 7

Letter Log August 2019 30° 25.60’N 86° 35.58’W From The Office The club made a small profit in the month of July and continues the trend of being profitable every month this year. Transfers were made to all the fund accounts and accrual accounts as well. The growth of dues paying members continues to trend in a positive direction and usage of the club is still increasing. All of the feedback from the board and various committees regarding the new menu have been received and several changes have been implemented. We are updating the POS system this week and should be ready to release the new menu next week. We are excited about the changes and hope the members appreciate some new options for dining at the club. The investing for your retirement seminar, put on by Cherry Wealth Advisors was a big success and several of our members have made appointments to meet one on one with them. We plan on hosting more of these in the future. Our first quote for the new walk-in cooler came in higher than expected but still within the amount approved by the board. We are looking at other options and other suppliers to give us a quote. Work has started on the ceiling tile replacement project. All of the soiled tiles in the Commodore’s Room have been replaced and we have started replacing tiles in the lounge. With the addition of new lights and tables, the lounge is going to look very nice. We are going to be working in the lounge for a couple of weeks, so we are requesting that bridge players utilize the Commodore’s Room. This will make it easier for the staff to better serve them and cut down on traffic in the lounge. Often, the ladies leave after the lunch staff has gone home and the lounge staff has to clean up before opening. We are hopeful that this change will work better for all parties. We now have a new dishwasher in the lounge that is better suited to a food service environment. We rent the dishwasher from Ben E. Keith like the one in the kitchen. The chemical levels are serviced on a regular basis and the glasses should be coming out cleaner and fully sterilized. Work on the hood vents will start this week and we should have repairs to the system completed soon. This will result in cleaner air throughout the building and improve working conditions for the kitchen staff. Clay Duhon should start repairs to the main dock this week and he will fix the sag in the docks and replace the damaged cross beams. Several large bolts are bent or have split the beams and have to be replaced. He will also pull the piling next to pump out station and install it between slip 105 and slip 106. See you around the club! 7
