Magazine-Sep/Oct 2019

FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER

Dear Members,

The past 3 years have seen The Club make a drastic transformation. We have new facilities, new outlets and even a new logo. As we welcome a brand new Clubhouse, it’s high time our Club magazine goes through a much needed revamp as well. Starting from November, our magazine will switch to a seasonal format instead of a bi-monthly one, to better align with the American school terms. We will have a winter issue (Nov/Dec/Jan), a spring issue (Feb/March/April), a summer issue (May/June/July), and a fall issue (Aug/ Sept/Oct). This reduce in frequency of Club magazines doesn’t mean we are reducing our communication with Members – stay in touch and get the latest updates via our Facebook, Instagram, regular dedicated e-newsletters, website, LCD screens and posters around The Club. Turn to page 12 for more information. With the launch of 8 outlets featuring completely new concepts in the past few years, we understand that policies at different outlets can get confusing. Management would like to take this opportunity to remind Members that policies are implemented to keep everyone safe, and to ensure our Club fosters a sense of warmth and community among both Members and staff. For more information on policies pertaining to Membership cards, Guests, parking, smoking and more, please flip to page 3. The last lap is always the hardest – we seek your patience as we work on getting the Gym and The Gourmet Pantry ready for your enjoyment.

The dog days of summer are finally behind us as we enter the last half of the year. The next couple of months will be extremely busy, as we celebrate our 71st birthday, followed by Thanksgiving and Christmas. Pencil in our birthday celebration on September 14 with a Happy Days party reminiscent of the 50s. Unlike recent birthday bashes, this year’s party will take place in the evening from 7:00 p.m. all the way to 1:00 am. Come by for a swinging good time complete with free flow beer, bar bites, live bands, dancing and more. Get your tickets from Concierge now and celebrate this milestone with us. Christmas in September ensures those who are spending the festivities back in the States can also join in the fun and experience an American Club Christmas. Drop by the Lobby on the weekend of September 28 and 29 and sample complimentary offerings from our Festive Takeaway menu. Tuck into comforting favorites such as our succulent Fire Roasted tom Turkey, delicious Bone-In Gammon Ham and comforting Apple Cinnamon Pie, or try our new creations – Australian Boneless Leg of Lamb, Mini Corn Muffins and Noel Log Cake. While tasting learn about all of The Club’s offerings over the festive season, from designing and printing your Christmas cards to Winter Camp. Due to redevelopment it was impossible for us to provide festive catering last year. Now our festive catering is back with a bang. To make an order, email catering@amclub.org.sg or drop by the Lobby for hard copy order forms.

Best Regards,

Devin Otto Kimble
