PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

MARLA PARMELE

People often ask me what it's like to serve as Board President, and I’m always happy to share my journey. Many assume I'll say it's a grueling task. It’s true that it requires a lot of time. This role has me attending meetings, joining lively discussions, and keeping up with emails. Although it’s a volunteer position, my passion for Rogue Valley Country Club makes every moment meaningful. There are challenges, of course, but even more rewards—especially thanks to a dedicated group of board members that I serve with. They bring so much energy and positivity. I often say that this is the best group of Board members I’ve served with. Together, we’ve accomplished a lot in just seven months. Our teamwork means all voices are heard, ideas are valued, and we work closely together to move our club forward. Having Rick Schultz as our General Manager is another huge advantage. His openness and willingness to communicate make a world of difference, ensuring everyone—from Board members to club members—feels included and informed. The spirit of cooperation we share helps make RVCC a special place, and member satisfaction remains at the heart of everything we do. genuinely appreciate and encourage all the feedback members provide. When I first took on this role, I worried about feeling isolated or different from other Members, but instead, I feel even more connected. Your thoughts and suggestions truly guide us in making decisions that reflect all our needs and wishes.

As we wrap up the 2024-2025 fiscal year, we narrowly missed our operational budget of $210,000 loss by $13,000. Though we are not satisfied with the loss, we have taken steps to have a zero-dollar balanced budget for the current year. Our improvement to the bottom line in just a year and a half is remarkable. In the last fiscal year, we improved our bottom line by almost $600,000 and ended the year with positive cash flow. The Food and Beverage department did better than their budget by $52,000 and improved by an incredible $415,000 year-over-year, driven by smart cost-saving measures that never compromised quality. Because of these cost savings we were able to increase our Maintenance budget that led to more improvements to our golf course. None of these financial achievements would have been possible without the dedication and hard work of every member of our team in every department- from our seasoned managers to our newest employees. Their commitment has made all the difference, and they all truly deserve our heartfelt appreciation. I would also like to acknowledge our Club Controller Riley Loftin. The dedication and hard work Rick and Riley have shown over the past 18 months has truly transformed our financial management, and we are deeply grateful for their commitment. Looking ahead to the next five months, I’m excited to take on new challenges and explore fresh opportunities with you all. My hope is to set clear goals and continue working side by side with our great Board, and General Manager, always striving for long-term success and an even stronger sense of community at RVCC. I am proud of what we’ve accomplished and how we have grown as a club. I am truly grateful for the privilege of serving in this rewarding and meaningful role. -Marla Parmele 7

GM’S ARTICLE RICK SCHULTZ, PGA, CCM GENERAL MANAGER/COO

Are you ready for the SOGC; I’m not sure all the staff are, but we’re getting close! I can’t wait for all the non-members to see the wonderful changes to the club since last year. Besides all the new tee boxes, bunker renovations, new fitness equipment purchased, and clubhouse landscaping improvements, the parking lot also looks so much better! With the tennis building bathrooms currently getting totally remodeled, and more tee renovations happening after the tournament, along with 324 new irrigation sprinkler heads and all 76 controllers starting to be installed, we’ll continue to look even better next year. Hopefully, you are as proud of the way our club looks as I am. Another reinvestment project we are working on is building a new cart barn to store our carts that are currently being stored outside. The building will be big enough to also accommodate some of the carts we are storing inside the main cart barn building which will finally free up more storage spots for member carts. Currently, we don’t have enough electrical capacity to charge all the carts we store at the same time so we will be pulling in a new power source that will be able to meet all our future demands. The project will also include four EV charging stations that will be available for those who might need to charge their electric vehicles.

Other projects still being discussed are a shade solution for the west terrace and a golf instruction building. If there are other projects, you’d like the Board to consider, let me know or any of the committee chairs that might oversee your project. We want to make sure that all members feel like they get something that brings more value to their membership. We are also hard at work on our social programming as we have live music on the terrace every other Saturday this summer and more Wine Wednesdays being planned. Chef Aaron and Chef Rob have also been creating some amazing food for our wine dinners and for the Wine Society group. If you haven’t attended a wine dinner yet, I encourage you to come to the Halleck Wine Dinner on August 15 ; their wines are fantastic! Margo & Rich’s Trivia Tuesdays are also continuing with more members attending each month. Other big events on the horizon are the Gathering at the Oaks Car Show on September 14 and the Harvest Festival on October 19 . The car show committee told me they already have some amazing cars coming and the feature car this year is the Corvette – I can’t wait! th th th Another fiscal year is in the books, and I could not be prouder of the department heads and front-line staff! Last year there were so many things to clean up so it was easy to say that I was confident that we could work more efficiently and produce a better product than the prior year. I think it’s clear that the $300,000 we were able to redirect to the golf course thanks to the $415,000 we were able to save in our food and beverage operations, without sacrificing quality or service levels. Kudos to Matt Looper, who has officially been promoted to Food and Beverage Director. He, along with Chef Aaron and Chef Rob, have done a tremendous job at tightening up labor and controlling the cost of goods sold. The club’s net profit is over $600,000 better than last year – the team did a great job at managing your hard-earned money!

New shade sails on the Bocce Ball Court

I’m also happy to report that our monthly dues revenue continues to increase and there have been lots of people taking tours of our wonderful club. As we go into winter, our membership counts start to lessen so we will continue to push new ways to help bring value to your membership, especially if you aren’t playing as much golf as you have in the past. I also want to make sure that you know there is an option where you can assign your club privileges temporarily to someone else for three to six months, which helps those who go south for the winter or are having medical issues. Keep spreading the word to your friends and family that our club is back on track and getting better every day! As always, I’d like to thank the membership for all the support and compliments I continue to receive; it’s wonderful to work for such a great group of members! Our true success comes from how hard the staff works; we have a great team in place, and I am extremely grateful for them as well!

Thanks for being a part of the RVCC family! -Rick Schultz

FINANCIAL REVIEW – FISCAL YEAR ENDED 6/30/2025 On behalf of our Board Treasurer and Finance Committee, I was asked to write the financial review. Fifteen months ago, I was hired to improve all accounting and financial management processes, eliminate unnecessary spending, implement cost controls, improve operational efficiency, stay within budgetary parameters, and rebuild our financial reporting system. Concurrent with this, we tried to positively impact the quality of our offerings to our members and improve the culture of our employees and business. We accomplished that and more. These accomplishments were periodically profiled in Rick Schultz’s weekly Monday morning newsletters which are emailed to all members. Through open and continuous communication, we hope that we have earned your trust and confidence. The Club had been working on a debt refinancing for more than three years and we were making slow progress. Last summer, we began to actively pursue a debt refinancing deal and explored our options with six banks. Due diligence lasted longer than we anticipated but our patience and continuous pursuit of completion resulted in a fair and balanced deal. We had environmental studies, two appraisals, and lots to clean up on our Title in order to provide a “clean” collateral. Our 100-year old club was here before any houses ‑ we have more than 50 easements carving through our 215 acres! We learned much about our history during due diligence. In late May 2025, we were thrilled to close on a $2.9 million term debt financing through Banner Bank. Approximately $1.3 million was used to repay and close out our previous bank leaving $1.6 million in net proceeds which will be used during the next 12-18 months in much needed long-term capital improvements. We are very pleased with our new relationship with Banner Bank.

On the operational side, we vetted and challenged our supply chain (in order to ensure we were paying fair prices and receiving quality), we improved our payroll and HR processes (which accounts for roughly half our annual spending), and continue to improve the accuracy of our member accounts. We rebuilt our internal control structure and monthly accounting closing and financial reporting processes. We paid relentless attention to our daily cash flows while at the same time paying our bills on time. All this resulted in positive financial results which are summarized in the below table:

During the year, we continuously adapted to market conditions and maintained a disciplined spending approach, particularly in balancing our labor costs relative to our revenue, as well as squeezing unnecessary operating expenses. We vastly improved compared to last year and were better by: (a) $684K in our overall net operating results, (b) $603K in net income, and (c) $284K in Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA). EBITDA is a common measure of cash flow and useful in establishing a value of a company. This was accomplished by continuous improvements implemented by management and staff. We are stewards of our Club and charged with the obligations passed down from our former members / founders, to safeguard and protect the future of our Club for future generations. - Riley Loftin, Club Controller

FOOD AND BEVERAGE

Knocking Down Hurdles Many of you have known me for a long time, and I’m incredibly grateful for the support I’ve received along the way. Having started at the bottom of the totem pole and worked my way up, I believe I bring a unique perspective to this role—one rooted in hands-on experience and a deep understanding of how this club truly operates. That perspective gives me an advantage my predecessors may not have had, and I’m committed to using it to push our Food & Beverage program to the next level. Each week brings new challenges, but also new opportunities. I continue to learn, grow, and adapt as we move through the season, always with one goal in mind: to make this club the best it can be. Right now, I’m working closely with our chefs to maintain the high standards of food quality you expect, while also finding smart ways to lower costs where we can. We’re excited to roll out a new Early Bird menu soon—designed especially for our members who prefer to dine a bit earlier in the evening. With football season just around the corner, we’re gearing up for Saturdays in Egan’s Pub, where our Beaver and Duck fans can cheer on their teams in style. We’re planning to offer a game-day buffet along with discounted drink specials to help kick off the season right. Details to come shortly We’re also looking to breathe more life into the club during the evening hours. In the coming months, you can expect more interactive and themed events aimed at creating a fun and welcoming nightlife scene—something fresh to keep you here a little longer and enjoying all we have to offer. Of course, August is a big month for us. Between Club Championship weekend and the annual Southern Oregon Golf Championship, our team is fired up and ready to deliver an exceptional experience. These events are major highlights of the season, and my staff and I are looking forward to showing what we’re capable of Thank you again for the continued support. Together, we’ll keep knocking down hurdles—and raising the bar. Matthew Looper Food & Beverage Director

Introducing Our Exclusive Private Label Wines!

We’re thrilled to announce a special collaboration with Linda Donovan of Urban Cork to bring you two exclusive private label wines: Egan’s Red Wine Blend and Jackson’s Pinot Gris.

These limited-edition wines are a tribute to two influential figures in our Club’s history—Mr. Egan and Mr. Jackson—whose legacy helped shape the community we enjoy today.

Cheers to Mr. Egan and Mr. Jackson!!

5 Simple Bio Hacks for Greater Health and Wellness By Joan Gamble

If you had a plant that was not healthy and growing or thriving, the arborist or botanist wouldn't touch the leaf to make it healthy, they would test the soil and look for deficiencies of nutrients. They might say, “There's no nitrogen in the soil,” for example, and would then add nitrogen and the plant would heal. . Human beings are no different. When you deprive the body of certain raw materials, you get the expression of that deficiency.

National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach, Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, NASM Certified Personal Trainer, Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist

In other words, what we see on the outside reflects what is happening on the inside of the body. Therefore, if you want your life to be a healthier, more vibrant, one with greater vigor and energy, here are a few simple hacks that you can incorporate into your healthy lifestyle. Bio hack number one - incorporate a simple supplement regime . Starting with a methylated multivitamin, which is a basic multivitamin with the B complex in the methylated form of vitamins. For example, instead of folic acid, it will have methylfolate, which is essentially the already converted form. Instead of B12 as cyanocobalamin, it will have hydroxy or methylcobalamin. It is very easy to find by using the word, “methyl” in your search. This way you will know that you are getting the raw material in the form your body can absorb and use. The second supplement I recommend is a good EPA/DHA, either fish oil or omega-3 fatty acid. We consume a high amount of omega-6 fatty acids in our diet of highly processed foods. Omega-6 fatty acids, found in vegetable oils, are very pro-inflammatory, causing our body and cells to become inflamed, leading to many metabolic disorders such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, blood sugar dysregulation, you get the idea. Most of us are deficient in the essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. When a nutrient is labeled as “essential,” it means that your body does not produce it and that it needs to come from an outside source, our diet.

These types of fatty acids are the ones that feed our brain and reduce inflammation. For added benefit, take your omega 3s with black seed oil, which contains omega-9 fatty acid. A recent study found that supplementation with a proprietary black seed (Nigela sativa) oil standardized to 3% thymoquinone in combination with omega-3s supports the gut-immune axis of athletes. Results showed that compared to placebo, subjects taking the combination of black seed oil and omega-3s saw significantly fewer upper-respiratory tract complaints (-62%) and better overall well-being (+15%), as well as higher omega-3 blood levels, lower cortisol levels (-37%), and superior microbiome indices (source: https://www.nutritionaloutlook.com/view/combination-of-black-seed-oil-and- omega-3-supports-gut-and-immune-health-in-athletes). The third supplement I would recommend is a quality Vitamin D3 with K2. About 5,000 IUs of vitamin D3 with 80 micrograms of K2 is a good start. Vitamin D3 functions more like a hormone than a supplement. K2 works synergistically with the D3, supporting heart and bone health. K2 is the key that “directs” the calcium that you consume to the bones, where you want it, not in the arteries where it can cause calcification and potential hardening and blockages. Bio hack number two – add minerals and hydrate properly. Human beings need 91 essential minerals and many of us are very mineral deficient. Minerals are co-factors to the vitamins that drive the various metabolic processes our body performs to stay alive, well and thriving. An example of minerals would be potassium, magnesium, zinc, sodium, electrolytes and trace minerals such as boron, manganese, selenium, silica, the ones you don't hear a lot about. Minerals help your cells to hydrate. A simple hack would be to add a quality sea salt like Celtic Sea salt or Baja gold Sea Salt to water. Take a pinch of sea salt, put it in 8 to 10 ounces of water in the morning, stir it up and drink it so you hydrate and mineralize the body. Stir it with a wooden spoon, not a metal spoon as the metal will interact with some of the metals in there. Being mineral deficient leads to various consequences such as osteopenia (precursor to brittle bone disease) and osteoporosis. Many people take a calcium supplement but that is not the answer. Our bones are made of calcium which combines with phosphorus to form hydroxyapatite and makes hard strong bones. For the mineralization of those bones to happen, you need a few things. The first thing you need is a load, which is why exercise is so good for you! The other thing you need are 12 essential (there’s that word again! Remember, it means essential for life) minerals. If you are deficient in those minerals, all the calcium in the world won't help you! So, what’s the answer? Hydrate, mineralize the body, get good fatty acids, methylated multivitamin, and next make sure you are also getting enough essential amino acids.

Bio hack number three – consume enough protein. There are 9 essential amino acids our body needs. These play a critical role in various bodily functions including protein synthesis, tissue repair, muscle growth and maintenance, and hormone synthesis and support. How do we get these amino acids? Through the protein we ingest. All protein breaks down to amino acids, but if we are deficient in any one single of those essential amino acids, the rest of the amino acids convert to glucose and fat. Most of us are not protein deficient, we are amino acid deficient. The general recommendation is to consume one gram of protein per kilogram of body weight. A 4-oz piece of chicken breast contains about 26 grams of protein. A large egg contains about 7 grams of protein. This brings me to bio hack number four - eat whole foods . Most of us overeat because we are deficient in nutrients (not calories). We are overfed and under-nourished. The brain knows when it is fed right and if you eat a highly processed food, it doesn’t trick the brain. So even though you are full and you've taken in the right number of calories, you haven't taken in the right nutrients or the nutrients that you need. The brain sends a message, ”Hey, I still need folate, zinc, magnesium!” Your cells are still “hungry” and then you end up overeating in search of fulfilling your nutrient needs. Studies have found that people who consume a highly processed diet will eat overeat by about 500 calories a day because they're trying to get to the nutrients. That can be up to a pound a week of weight gain! The closer the food is from farm to table is your indicator of a whole food. If it comes in a package or a box, it is processed. Bio hack number five – Sleep well! Nothing else matters if you are not sleeping right. The consequences of prolonged sleep deprivation are not only physiological they are psychological. A lot of the mental illness and emotional ailments that we deal with are exacerbated by sleep deprivation. Our cells and our bodies cannot heal properly without proper sleep. We cannot build muscle nor burn fat while we sleep if we do not have quality sleep. Our brains cannot detoxify properly without it. One of THE best things you can do for greater health and vitality is to develop good sleep hygiene. Create a routine that helps to signal your body that it is time to go to sleep. You can start by dimming your lights after dinner as you are winding down. Set a limit or a time that you will stop scrolling or that you will turn off the tv or computer. Make sure your room is completely dark. Cover your alarm clock light and any other light that is visible, such as on smoke detectors (put a piece of tape over it). Wear a sleep mask

if that is more convenient. No eating and no blue light 2 hours before your designated bedtime so the blood that should be in your brain is not diverted to your gut. Digestion is a highly intensive process on the body.

There are so many more great tips, habits and “hacks” that can help you to optimize your health, vitality, sports performance and daily living, allowing you to do the things that you love for as long as possible. I’ve just begun to scratch the surface! Start with the basics and set a solid foundation. In doing so, you will find that adding to it will be even that much more fun and easier as you will have the energy and vitality for it!
