President’s MESSAGE
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
David E. Wilks, President Cameron B. McDonald, Vice President David D. Wilkinson, Treasurer Jeffrey Ciconte, Secretary
Hoping that you and yours had a wonderful holiday season. The Club was as busy as it has ever been and it was great to see so many of us enjoying everything we have and sharing it with our guests. There is much in store for us in the new year and this brief message will highlight a few things on the horizon. First and foremost, we will celebrate our 125th Anniversary in 2026. There will be numerous events across all areas of the Club and they will all be a blast. Keep an eye out for details as they become available. You won’t want to miss them. We also welcome new leaders to the Club’s Board and Executive Committee. They are hitting the ground running and our incumbent members of the team remain committed and enthusiastic. All of them have my gratitude for devoting so much time, effort and talent to the Club that we all share. The Club will also plan for and begin executing on the irrigation system replacement. The actual work will not begin until the Fall, but the steering committee will be working hard on the project throughout the year. As we have explained before, the work will not require the closure of either golf course and will be phased in the most efficient way possible. An indoor project will be more disruptive to our use of the Club. The completion of our HVAC project necessitates the closure of the third floor of the clubhouse for several weeks. Neither of those projects is terribly exciting, but are the not-so-fun necessities that crop up. Far more enjoyable are the golf and racquets calendars that are loaded with tournaments, clinics, and special Anniversary-related events. There will be lots of reasons for us to use the Club this year.
Our Club is in great shape and we have systems in place to ensure a very healthy future. Toward that end, we are instituting the special membership development program that you have already heard about. We are also taking steps that will keep our balance sheet resilient and will make future capital projects more easily achievable. As always, please let me know if you have questions or comments by emailing me at dwilks.wcc@gmail.com. Or even better, please come to the first Meet With the Prez event that we will hold on February 5 at 5:30. That will be a time for everyone to ask me or tell me anything you like. I look forward to it and hope that you will participate. Happy 125th Birthday and best wishes for great health and prosperity in 2026. - David Wilks
