Annual Meeting Update

Many thanks to everyone who came to the 2009 Annual Membership meeting this past Sunday evening. We had a very productive meeting, and we got a lot of great input from the members present. As you know from the agenda that we sent out prior to the meeting, three important votes took place this past Sunday:

1) The 2010 Board of Directors was elected.

2) The clubhouse master plan was presented and approved, including the financial details appertaining to this project.

3) The By-law changes were approved.

Details of the meeting have been posted to this site, including:

I would also like to take this opportunity to go into more detail about the financial impact the clubhouse project will have on our membership. The membership approved a $500 clubhouse assessment that can be paid over two years. The Board also decided to increase the membership dues by $150 annually, totaling $600 per year. The Board understands that in the present economic time this might be difficult to absorb into family budgets. As a result, the Board is considering allowing some flexibility in the number and ways to make these payments. More information will be forthcoming about these options. As each family considers this impact to the family budget, it should be noted that when the $150 dues increase is considered within a monthly budget, the increase is $12.50 per month. The assessment over two years is an increase of $21.00 per month. As you will be able to see from the documents posted on the website, these increases keep Windyrush very competitive with other clubs in our area that share similar facilities and programs as well as with clubs that offer fewer programs and lesser facilities.

If you have any questions, please contact us via email through the Windyrush office. Please email Phyllis at office@windyrush.com.

In closing, 2010 looks to be another very exciting year for Windyrush Country Club! As you consider all of this information, please remember that we are making an investment in the future of our club. As we celebrate the club’s 40^th birthday , we hope that this clubhouse project will kick off at least another forty wonderful years at Windyrush!

Sincerely,

Bob Stone

President
