18 THE CHARBONNEAU VILLAGER September 2019 CCC Usage Report measures clubhouse data By JIM MEIEROTTO F or the last couple of months, a CCC staff member has been recording clubhouse activities into an event log spreadsheet created by resident John McLain. John volunteered to work with staff to create a way to measure clubhouse usage through this data. John created a usage report based on the data and presented it to the CCC Board. The usage report summa- rizes events by descriptive categories such as rooms, activity, groups and at- tendance. This report enables the board and committees to ask good questions to better understand and make decisions on how CCC assets can better support the Charbonneau community. In months of April, May, and June of 2019, CCC staff booked: ■ 433 events ■ Using 751 rooms ■ With 7,066 people in attendance A copy of this report is available in the CCC office upon request or can be viewed on the CCC website. Go to www.charbonneaucountryclub.com, Latest News, Facilities Improvement Project, and click on the usage report link. John also suggested that we sur- vey, not just individual residents, but include the group leaders who actual- ly plan and implement many of the events that happen here in Charbon- neau (i.e., luncheons and potlucks, meetings, games, exercise and art classes, Sunshine Service). A workshop was held Thursday, Aug. 9, where group leaders contrib- uted their answers to a survey and discussed ideas and suggestions re- lated to the CCC Clubhouse facility, If interested, please contact Dennis Mefford at [email protected] or call Cathy Sams at 541-760-3167 for more information. I-5 Connection is supported, in part, by a grant from the City of Wilsonville.

It is within the current plan for the Golf Club to achieve break- even and not have to rely on re- serves. It is clear that sufficient re- serves exist to underwrite opera- tions until break-even occurs. Reach every resident in Charbonneau.

The group survey comments are also available in the CCC office and on the CCC website. It was interesting to note that the group survey feedback was very con- sistent with the usage report and the individual responses and comments we’ve heard over the last year. Groups are the lifeblood of our ac- tive Charbonneau community. It was very exciting to hear their ideas for creating a facility that would better meet the needs of our residents, such as, more usable space for social inter- actions and activities.
