General Manager’s Corner
ALOHA OCC ‘OHANA, As we continue to march into 2024, it is with heartfelt gratitude that I extend my appreciation to Curt DeWeese for his exceptional leadership as the president of our Club in 2023.
I’d also like to share an important update regarding the repairs of the parking garage. Central Pacific Specialty Contractors (CPSC) has been exemplary in their eorts, demonstrating eective communication, meticulous workmanship, and a deep understanding of the importance of maximizing parking availability for our members. This collaborative spirit has enabled us to reintroduce guest parking for the next few months. I extend my gratitude to Jono Saunders, the Club’s Facilities Director, and the entire Buildings & Grounds Committee for their relentless dedication to overseeing this project. Although we’ve encountered some unexpected challenges that may extend the project timeline for a couple of weeks, our focus remains on minimizing inconvenience and ensuring ample parking. We will keep the membership informed on the progress through our weekly Friday emails. Once again, I want to thank all our members for their understanding and patience as we work diligently to complete this crucial project. Your support is the cornerstone of our success, and together, we will continue to face this challenge head-on.
His dedication and passion have significantly contributed to our Club’s growth and success. I also wish to express my sincere thanks to Laurie Foster and Marc Haine for their invaluable service on the Board of Directors. Their commitment and contributions have been instrumental in steering our Club towards its goals.
This year, we’re thrilled to welcome Emily Porter as the president of the Outrigger Canoe Club. Emily’s vision and enthusiasm promise an exciting and fruitful year ahead. I’m also delighted to welcome our new Board Members, Malia Eversole and Doug Johnstone, whose fresh perspectives and innovative ideas will undoubtedly enhance our Club’s journey. I look forward to collaborating with all of you as we continue to build on our Club’s legacy. During our Employee Holiday Party in January, we had the pleasure of celebrating some of the remarkable milestones of our dedicated sta members. In 2023, the Club recognized 32 employees for their one-year anniversaries, 10 employees for five years, two employees for a decade of dedication, and one employee for 15 years of loyalty. A special congratulations to Sam Clemens, our Beach Captain and a true waterman, who marked an impressive 25 years of service with the OCC. These anniversaries stand as a testament to the strength and commitment of our team. Additionally, we are proud to announce that Johann Vollrath, from Beach Services, was named the 2023 Employee of the Year, a well-deserved recognition of his outstanding contributions.
Mahalo nui loa,
Tyler Roukema, General Manager
