FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER Dear Members,

Summer is a time to recharge – from holidays with loved ones back in the US, Canada or anywhere else friends and families may gather, to short trips around the region and taking time off to reset your pace, summer is the perfect season to take a breather. With many of our expatriate Members gone for these few months, it is also a good time for The Club to take a step back, take stock of our progress and tie up loose ends. Our redevelopment project has been (and still is) a long and arduous journey, but we are reaching the light at the end of the tunnel. Our membership fees were frozen during the past three years of redevelopment because we know that the disruptions brought about by redevelopment inevitably inconvenienced the community. The majority of our new outlets have launched, and in the last few years The Club has introduced new programs, initiatives and events like our complimentary Back to School Parents Edition, aqua aerobics classes and revamped Niche Group parties. You’ll be pleased to know that the open market value of The Club’s transferable membership category has risen steadily over the years, which alludes to our premier positioning within the market. Coupled with the anticipated completion of redevelopment, the General Committee has approved the Membership Committee’s recommendation to revise the Associate Membership entrance fee (an increment of $13,375), transfer fee for open market transfers (an increment of $3425) and Term Membership entrance fee (an increment of $321). The membership brokers have been informed of the price revisions. Please flip to page 12 for more information on the revised fees.

For more information, please flip to page 53. In addition, summer is when The Club’s team members get to have some fun. Our annual gala employee dinner and awards presentation will take place on Monday, July 29 at the Grand Hyatt Singapore. The Club will be closed at 3:00 p.m. on that day so our staff can get ready for this exciting event. As with Club tradition, several of our team members will be recognized for making outstanding service contributions to The Club. Among the event’s highlights will also be the presentation of long service awards – we have staff celebrating 40, 25 and 20 years of service! This group of individuals has shown unwavering loyalty to The Club, and if you’ve been long-time Members (as my family is), you’ll probably be familiar with them. As the dust from redevelopment starts to settle, and as we reach the tail end of this massive project, I hope you will remember that The Club is more than its façade, facilities and programs. It’s the people – both Members and staff – who form the heart of this community, and is what makes this place a home away from home for so many of us.

Best Regards,

We’d also like to take this chance to reward our existing Members who continue to recommend The Club to their
