Albany Country Club
Manager’s Message
Happy New Year! I enjoy the quiet of January at the Club as it gives us all the opportunity to catch up from the whirlwind fourth quarter and prepare and plan for an awesome new year for our members. Our staff has been working diligently on maintenance items like adding fresh coats of paint, deep- cleaning carpets and floors, sprucing up the women’s locker room, and enhancing all areas of our facility. We are also using the time to plan our events for the year, refresh any procedures and policies to make them as efficient as possible and train and prepare our staff to get ready to welcome you back soon.
Beginning February 17 th , our dining room will be open for dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and we’re finishing off the month by bringing back the very popular
Winter Carnival on February 26-27. You told us you loved taking advantage of the winter amenities here at our Club and we love being able to be creative with fun activities. We are adding more events to the first quarter of this year, including the wine dinner “A Night in Paris” on March 5 th (which is already sold out!), our Trivia & Karaoke Night on Friday, March 18 th , and another wine event in April – keep tuned for details. I hope you’ll add them to your calendar and come join us! Speaking of events, we hosted two successful platform tennis events in December with plans to host at least one more this winter. Our members are really enjoying having this amenity in the winter months and we are pleased to be able to support this activity for them. We’ve been hard at work developing a new website that we feel will provide a more modern experience and better reflect our Club. Take a moment to read more about our new website and mobile app and all the great features you’ll be able to access further on in this newsletter. One of my favorites is the ease of referring new members by just adding their contact info to a form that goes straight to Sara-Becca, our Director of Membership. She’ll get in touch with your referrals and bring them in as new members so you can continue to socialize with the friends you like best! I’ve heard from many members that we need to be more diligent about enforcing the Dress Code at the Club. We’ll be sending out a reminder of what the Dress Code includes, please let your guests know in advance and share the information with everyone in your family. Thank you for helping us keep Albany Country Club an elegant place you’re proud to show off to friends and family! Our three EV car charging stations are now operational in the parking lot, if you drive an electric car be sure to look for the spots when you need to charge up. We are also in the process of putting LED lights inside the clubhouse to cut back on our energy use and save on utility bills.
Another exciting addition to look forward to is new pool furniture. We’re spreading this project out over a couple of years but expect to have 20 new lounge chairs at the pool in time for the new season this year.
My door is always open and I welcome your suggestions for any programs, activities or events you’d like to see here at your Club. Feel free to email me, call or stop me in the hallways! I know 2022 will be a truly amazing year for Albany Country Club, and I can’t wait to get started!
