Dear Fellow Members:Summer is just about over, the kids are back
inschool, and fall is right around the corner. I hopeeveryone had
the opportunity to relax over the summer and recharge the mind and
spirit!This has been a busy summer for the Club.Members were
enjoying their wedding receptionsand rehearsal dinners as well as
the numerous special events, which many of you were able to attend.
Thank you all for the support of your Club!
I would like to speak a bit about Membership business if I may.
During the courseof any given year, your River Club, as all private
Clubs do, experiences the loss ofseveral Members a month. This is
not due to any dissatisfaction with the Club,but rather to factors
such as retirement, health, and relocation and in manyinstances,
business or budget cutback considerations. The Members we lose
dueto business cutbacks, historically, reinstate their memberships
once the budget oreconomic cycle swings back around (as it always
does!), but this reinstatementcomes at a cost of significant fees.
Club management speaks to each of these particular business
Members, to explain the cost of reinstating the Membership.They
encourage the business Member to ride out the current situation
they arefacing, enjoy their Club, and avoid substantial fees to
rejoin at a later date.As you probably know, membership in the
River Club is by Invitation Only.Those invitations can ONLY come
from you, our current Members. The ongoingaddition of new Members
into the Club allows for the replacement of thoseMembers that
resign, and enables your Club to provide the wonderful food,
service and ambience and events you have come to enjoy, and at a
reasonabledues level. I cannot encourage you enough to call Marta
Trueax, our MembershipDirector, with the names of your nominees.
Besides the benefit of your supportby these nominations, the Club
will provide you with a $200.00 Food & BeverageCredit for EACH
person that joins. This incentive has always been there, and isnot
just a one-time offer.Please read through this edition of the
newsletter – it highlights all the eventsgoing on at our Club
during September and October. As you will see, there is alot
happening and I hope you take the opportunity to bring your friends
andfamily and enjoy yourselves. Many thanks, and I hope to see you
around theClub soon!Sincerely,FOR THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Alfred J. Hays, PresidentSunday BrunchEnjoy the changing of the
season sitting in the Club’sdining room overlooking the
Chattahoochee River.Surround yourself with family and friends and
feast on adelicious meal only the River Club could offer.
