FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Members,

Summer has arrived bringing with it lazy days and nights filled with picnics, fireworks, laughter, sandy beaches, and good friends. As the author Jenny Han wrote, "Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August", and whether you are in Singapore, your hometown, or elsewhere, I hope you are enjoying every minute of this magical season! At The Club, summertime means fantastic programs such as the Stars n' Stripes Summer Camp, an extensive variety of swim activities, and expanded tennis labs in addition to the usual offerings. It also means that with many of our members traveling, it can be slightly quieter around the Clubhouse, creating an excellent opportunity for you to get to know Club staff a bit better. Did you know that Afieq in F&B has a baby on the way and that Diana moved to Thinkspace from the Concierge? Next time you are at The Club please be sure to take a minute to find out more about our staff and thank them for all of the work they do to make The Club our home away from home. Although our Clubhouse home may be a bit quieter over the summer months, Management, staff, and Club volunteers continue to work tirelessly to open new spaces. Members have been enjoying the recently opened Lobby area, and many back-of- house areas have also opened in the past month, including the staff cafeteria and locker rooms. In addition, Tradewinds will soft launch for Members over the summer holiday period. Once we open these beautiful new spaces, the team's focus will turn to the Gym. I understand that this area and the adjoining locker rooms are important to Members, and we are all excited to begin using the new Gym spaces. The contractors and their teams are also making progress on The Gourmet Pantry, and we

plan to open both of these areas to Members before September.

As we enter the final phases of redevelopment, I would like to continue to ask for your patience as we work towards opening the full Clubhouse this fall. Please know that we are committed to creating a Club you are proud of and enjoy using, and I can't thank you enough for the graciousness and understanding you have shown during this period. I look forward to seeing you and your family at The Club, and I hope that your summer is a magical one!

Warm regards,

Dana Hvide
