Annual Meeting 2024 On Tuesday, February 6, 62 vo ng members were present at the Annual Mee ng in the Koa Lanai. Parliamentarian Steve Glanstein was invited to preside over the mee ng. The mee ng was called to order by President Curt DeWeese at 5:32 p.m.
President DeWeese reported that the Club’s rela- tionship with the Elks Lodge remains strong and the Board recently presented Elks with a new lease extension proposal. Updates will be provided to the membership as more information is known. Addi- tionally, OCC formed an alliance with the Elks and Colony Surf to monitor the impact of the sea level rise on the properties. The Board made a commitment to provide members with “First Class Service and World Class Facilities” by completing long-discussed projects such as the addition of the Women’s Sauna, the Locker Room Hallway Refresh, and refurbished Fitness Center.
➳ Outgoing President Curt DeWeese reflected on the Club’s achievements in 2023. He highlighted the Club’s substantial 25% increase in new mem- bers, with the constantly full waitlist attesting to prospective members’ perceived value of the Club. Financially, the Club has maintained stability and achieved record-high investment balances. Monthly membership dues were increased by an average of 5% across membership categories in 2024 to keep up with increasing operational costs. The Board also spent a considerable amount of time reviewing the initiation fees that have not changed in over 10 years and approved new initiation fees that will become eective April 1, 2024.
