PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE | DAVID WILKS
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
David E. Wilks - President Adam G. Landis - Vice President David D. Wilkinson - Treasurer Thomas A. Beck - Secretary
Many of you attended the Annual Election of Shareholders last month. That occasion is always a nice opportunity to spend time with friends over a drink after hearing a recap of the Club’s performance for the year behind us. For those who were unable to join us, here is a recap of the recap. The first order of business was to elect four new members to our Board of Directors. My great thanks go out to Martha Tshantz, Cameron McDonald, Brooks Pierce and E.J. Dealy. We all should have great confidence that these four very talented individuals will prove to make strong contributions to our Club’s leadership. As they join the Board, we must thank four directors who have served their full terms: Robert Friz, Thomas Beck, Lisa Schmidt and Adam Landis. All four of them served on the Executive Committee for at least the last two years and all served with distinction. Many thanks to all these very fine leaders. Our Treasurer, David Wilkinson, provided a very positive report on the Club’s financial performance this year. Thanks to excellent planning and management by our staff, Finance Committee and Board, the Club performed extremely well this year. Our combined operating and base capital dues for next year will rise in a modest amount of less than 5%. In addition, a plan is in place to pay for the replacement of our property- wide irrigation system over a reasonable period of time with supplemental capital dues. In short, the Club is in great shape. The highlight of our annual meeting is always a presentation by the Centennial Scholarship Committee and a special guest. This year did not disappoint. Chairman Jamie Murray shared information about the successes of the Scholarship Fund thanks entirely to the generosity of you, the membership. We then heard inspiring words from one of this year’s recipients, Mariah Leftwich. Mariah showed us once again the depth of talent that we have on our staff and the difference that we can make in helping them along their way. This year can be remembered as one in which we took care of some important things that we never see. We are replacing our $3 million clubhouse HVAC system and embarking on the irrigation system project to the tune of around $11 million. The irrigation project will be overseen by a committee of experienced members, who will scrutinize everything from cost to scope to value engineering and everything in between.
