THE AMERICAN CLUB
SEP / OCT 2017
of our long-awaited redevelopment. We will be highlighting The Clubs’ history with a wall of photographs in the new
lobby, along with other fun ideas to commemorate this momentous year.
In other news, in June The Club was honored to host Minister of State for Manpower, Mr. Sam Tan and NTUC Deputy
Secretary General Mr. Heng Chee How. They toured The Club to learn about changes we made to enhance our
older staff members’ productivity. I felt incredibly proud to see long-term staff members, such as Chef Tan from the
Production Kitchen, Mr. Ho from Housekeeping and Rich from F&B, share their stories and demonstrate how The Club’s
new technology allows them to keep up with their more junior colleagues.
I’m grateful that these employees have opted to spend their golden years with The American Club family. There are staff
members who have known my kids since they were born – Lily in the kitchen who has a hug ready every time they see
her, Abdul who gives them a high five before they leap into the pool, and, when she isn’t climbing mountains in Nepal,
Betty from Essentials who always greets them with a smile. We are so fortunate to have these employees with us, some
of whom have been with our family for over 40 years. They are an integral part of The Club’s history, as well.
How can we make history ourselves? Martin proposed a wonderful idea to bury a time capsule before the final slab is
poured. What do you think we should include in the time capsule? Email us at
president@amclub.org.sgwith your ideas.
As always, if you have any suggestions, ideas or issues, please don’t hesitate to email me.
