Hello, Del Paso!
the meantime, Clubhouse Manager, Kellie Clark, has stepped into the Events Director role. We are also bidding a fond farewell to Floor Service Director Alex Nicoloudis and Office Manager Julie De Dios. They will be leaving Del Paso April 1 to move to Florida. We thank them both for the years of service at Del Paso and wish them nothing but success with their new adventures. We added a few new Club Events to our monthly Calendar beginning in January that have had a great response. PASTA NIGHT Our Pasta Nights on the 3rd Sunday of each month have been very well attended. Our February Pasta Night brought in over 160 Members for dinner! I have received extremely positive feedback about Members’ experience there and look forward to its growth and evolution in the upcoming months. KIDS NIGHT OUT Kids Night Out on the 1st Friday of each month continues to grow in attendance. It is a great opportunity for our youngest of Members to socialize, dine, watch movies, and meet other young Members. We also love seeing their parents enjoying some adult time in the lively Grill on Friday evenings. If you have not stopped by the Del Paso gym lately, I encourage you to do so. Laura Maxwell and her team reconfigured the existing equipment that resulted in much more space to utilize equipment and machines to their full potential. We have separated the equipment and now have a dedicated cardio room and a dedicated strength training room. This has created a much more efficient, open workout space. We also have the addition of the much-requested kettlebell station. We will look to continually enhance and replace equipment as necessary throughout the upcoming year. Our next big Member Event is our St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl on Friday, March 17. This will be a great evening with food, dancing, and green beer. I hope to see you there!
I write this after just having had the pleasure of walking the Golf Course with Mike Green, Clint Luedtke, and Kyle Phillips, addressing the state of the Course and the trees that were lost in the early January storms. The Board
has approved up to $60k to plant 50 new trees throughout the Golf Course prior to the agronomy closure in April. The potential placements of trees will be staked in the next few weeks by Kyle Phillips and his team. This will give us the opportunity to review and finalize placement prior to planting that will begin on Monday, March 20th. A big focal point and a lot of time spent with Kyle was on Hole 7, discussing options to address the large tree we lost that helped define the hole. At the time of this writing, there are a few options being discussed with Kyle and the Committees. A very viable option is to transplant a nearby Cork Oak (the same species that was lost), relocating it left of the 7th fairway which would immediately help reframe the hole. Clint has met with a tree contractor who has visited the site and quoted a 95% success rate. Some of their previous work includes relocating many trees at Pebble Beach. I’d like to thank Kyle Phillips and his team for the dedication and time spent caring for our Course. He truly has a love for Del Paso. Last month I talked about our new Standing Committee structure beginning in the new Fiscal Year. I have been very inspired and pleased with the amount of volunteer applications we received from our members looking forward to participating in our Governance practices and continue to improve our great Club. We extended the date to apply to March 12. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or are interested in being a part of a Committee. I wanted to fill you in on some staffing changes here at DPCC. At the end of February, our Events Director, Emily Stabbert, began her maternity leave. We are sending our best to the Stabbert family and look forward to having Emily return in the summer. In
