General Manager’s Corner

ALOHA OCC ‘OHANA, As you read this edition of the Ama magazine, we’ve just wrapped up another spectacular 4th of July celebration at the Outrigger Canoe Club.

Fitness Center Understanding the importance of the Fitness Centers to our members, it was crucial to keep these amenities accessible during the parking garage repairs. Huge mahalo to Billy Pratt, Club Captain, and Matt Tanigawa, AD, for their leadership in relocating the fitness centers to level F in the parking garage. Both fitness centers were moved up two levels in less than six hours. Excellent planning and execution by the team! Thank you both. Logo Shop The online Logo Shop has been a tremendous success! Members continue to send in orders daily, and Lana Osgood, our Logo Shop Manager, keeps adding more items for members to purchase. These online enhancements will soon be complemented by the remodel of the physical shop space. Fabrication on the redesigned space has already begun, and the entire remodel should be completed in the next couple of months. Landscape Project Blink and you’ll miss it—skip a day at the Club, and you’ll be amazed by the progress. Pacific Landscape continues to impress with the quality of the new landscaping and the execution of the project. Keep an eye out for the continued transformation over the next couple of months! Once again, mahalo to each of you, members and sta‘, for your unwavering support throughout the year. Your devotion to the Outrigger Canoe Club is unmatched. Best wishes to you and your families for a safe and wonderful summer!

Congratulations to all the paddlers who proudly represented

our club in the Macfarlane Regatta! The pride of the

Outrigger Canoe Club was on full display, with over 300 members representing the “O” on the beaches of Waikīkī. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated sta‘ for their incredible

hard work leading up to the 4th of July and their tireless e‘orts on the day of the event. Hosting over 500 members is no small feat, and it wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team!

Operations Update: Parking Garage Repairs

Work on the parking garage is ongoing and will continue to be a part of our normal operations for most of the year. The project is now expected to be completed by the end of November due to additional work and weather delays. A special thank you to the Board of Directors for their proactive approach to the summer parking constraints and their partnership with La Pietra, allowing additional parking options for members during the busy summer months. Jono Saunders continues to do an incredible job managing this project, and I also want to thank Steven Byrnes, our Head of Security, for his e‘orts in communicating with members and managing the parking lot when it gets full. Lastly, I appreciate our members’ patience with this project. I know it’s a daily inconvenience, but your understanding as we continue is greatly valued. Rest assured; meticulous attention is being given to ensure this project is done right the first time!
