Spring 2023 On Eagle's Wings

PRESIDENT FROMTHE

Dear Members,

Happy 2023 and Happy Lunar New Year!

While the search for the new General Manager is underway, our Director of Food & Beverage, Dan Durkin, has been appointed as the Club’s Acting General Manager effective February 1, 2023. Please join me in welcoming Dan into the role, and don’t hesitate to say “hi” when you see him around the Club. Moving forward, the Team’s key priority is taking the Club from a good Club, to a great Club. This includes always improving Member engagement and experiences, being more involved in community service, further improving our financial performance, and enhancing our Team Members’ well-being. From the Club celebrating its milestone 75th birthday, to recognizingMembers who have contributed to the local Singaporean community through the Community Service Awards, there is much to look forward in 2023. With that, I wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy, prosperous and wonderful year ahead!

This year, we welcome the Year of the Rabbit – a year that will mark the return of many popular Club events in the first part of the year, like our daily Lo Hei Toss in the Lobby, my must-see favorite Super Bowl live screening, St. Patrick’s celebrations and Easter activities. Apart from these, you can expect to see many more social events coming your way throughout the year. In Chinese culture, rabbits are said to be kind, calm, and optimistic creatures. As we return to normalcy, I would like to draw from the characteristics of the rabbit and take this opportunity to thank our amazing Team Members who helped power the Club through what may have been some of the toughest times in our Club’s history. We thank all Members for your cooperation, patience and loyalty. The New Year also brings new challenges. I’d like to give special recognition to our General Manager, Rick Coate, who as you may now know, will depart Singapore and the Club on February 10, 2023. Let us all say a big “thank you!” to Rick for over two years of dedicated service to our Club and community.
