GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE

Dear Members,

Please watch your email for Night Putting coming back in October on Thursday nights at Founders. Steve also has some fun new member golf events in addition to the great traditions of the Pigskin Classic and Grey Cup. Please keep an eye out for these events being advertised.

I hope you had a wonderful summer and spent a lot of quality time at the Club.

We have launched Greystone University and there are approximately 50 employees (“students”) enrolled in school. They will finish class one by mid-September and class two by the end of October. As a reminder, there are four courses and there are six classes in each course of 90-120 minutes each, plus out of class projects. Here are the different courses that make up Greystone University.

Legacy will be aerified following Labor Day, September 4th-20th. During this time Founders will be open daily. Please note the impact on our Dining Offerings.

The Club has hosted numerous weddings, receptions and special events this year. Please refer to page 9 to see testimonials and information on hosting your holiday party at the Club. As you know, Greystone is decorated beautifully during the holidays. What better venue than your Club to host your business or family holiday celebration? Contact Candice Smith at 776-3180. We would like to build our Member Ambassador Program where we pair a current member with a prospective member to entertain them and educate them on the wonderful aspects of membership.The other critical role Ambassadors play is to help new members integrate into the Club environment and introduce them to fellow members. To become an Ambassador, please email mcooner@greystonecc.com.

In case you have not tried Chef’s Corner yet, please give it a try. This is a new service to members for grab and go on your schedule. There are items such as soups, chicken salad, tuna salad, pasta bake, smoked salmon, salads, homemade pies, cookies and some local honey/jams. There is also beer and wine to purchase. This is all on the honor system, so members fill out one of the tickets there and put it in the designated box. Enjoy at your leisure seven days a week. All product is rotating and labeled with dates to keep it fresh. Starting Friday, September 7 we will be offering childcare in the children's room from 4PM-10PM. $5 per child per hour. The ages are 2-12 and children must be potty trained. Reservations are required by calling the front desk or booking online by noting in the comments section when you make your dining reservation “childcare” and your children’s ages. If there are enough children signed up in advance we will offer outdoor activities with tennis, golf and field games. Jason Miller will be launching a new lawn care chemical spray program and irrigation smart system installation for members who are residents inside the gates of Greystone. We will be offering an education preview night on these two new services onMonday, October 15th from 6-7pm at founders. We held a Department Head Retreat recently offsite to synergize the department goals and services. We spent time on staff training, standards of operating, financial planning, perfecting the basics and discussing new programming. There was also some fun team building along the way.

I hope you have a great fall season at the Club. I look forward to seeing you around campus.

All the best, Dave Porter General Manager/COO
