Manager ’ s Message
As we prepare to wrap up the year, I hope our members can look back at 2021 with fond memories of many happy times spent at Albany Country Club. We have had record numbers of members attending many of our events, as well as playing golf and tennis, and it ’ s been really wonderful to see the excitement and energy back at the Club. We learned a lot during COVID and I truly believe that having to refine and re - imagine the way we do business has elevated our service and experiences, and made us a better Club overall. As we head into the holiday break our staff is busy with plans to make 2022 even more spectacular!
In our recent membership survey, you told us you want to see more events, especially family - friendly events, here at the Club, and that ’ s
exactly what we are planning for the new year. Although we are normally completely closed for the first six weeks of every year, in 2022 we will be hosting two Friday night dinners in January, followed by a romantic Valentine ’ s Dinner, and a gourmet Burger and Beer Night in February. The Winter Carnival that was so popular this year, will return in February to kick - off the start of our social season. A French - themed Wine Dinner and Trivia with Karaoke are planned for March, with a Tapas Night and a Cocktail Party announcing the opening of golf and tennis in April. One event many families asked for the return of was the Fall Festival, so we ’ ve already begun work on planning that for October. We are very excited to have platform tennis open throughout the winter to give you another reason to come out to the Club. This cold - weather activity is played on our heated and lighted courts, with windscreens added this year for even more comfort. We ’ ll have a kick - off event on December 3 rd to introduce the game to those of you who are new to platform tennis and build our community of players. Our increased focus and event planning for platform tennis has come about through the requests and suggestions of our members. We welcome the opportunity to work with you to make these things happen. By now I hope most of you have had an opportunity to meet Sara - Becca, our new Director of Membership, who has been attending as many of our events all throughout the Club as her schedule permits. Her infectious enthusiasm and cheerful personality are helping us welcome new members and get them involved, and she is always available to meet your friends and other referrals to give them a tour. As you bring friends, family and colleagues out to the Club for holiday celebrations, please take an extra moment to introduce them to Sara - Becca and let her have their contact information for follow - up. The best new members for our Club are the ones you already enjoy spending time with! I want to thank all of our members for your commitment and loyalty to Albany Country Club, and for your wholehearted support during these challenging two years. We are all a family here at ACC, and it has meant a lot to share the ups and the downs together, building a stronger, closer and more successful Club. I am proud of all of our staff for their unparalleled commitment and the passion they have poured into their work. As we close out 2021 there is no place I ’ d rather be than right here with my Albany Country Club family. I wish all of you a warm and wonderful holiday and all the best for 2022! Director of Membership, Sara - Becca ’ s Message
