MEMBER spotlight

This week's member spotlight shines on Emily Denisar, a valued member of Alamance Country Club since 2017.

Alongside her husband, Brian, and their three delightful children, Braden, Madisyn, and Cameron, Emily has made the club a second home. The Denisar family frequently indulges in the club's premier amenities, including the refreshing pool, 1946 Grill, and the exciting special events that ACC hosts throughout the year.

Emily Denisar

Emily, known for her warm hospitality and strong work ethic, is not only a dedicated member but also an avid tennis enthusiast who takes joy in assisting beginners in mastering the sport. A true advocate for community engagement, Emily encourages new members to embrace the diverse range of activities and events offered by the club.

She believes that these gatherings provide the perfect opportunity to forge new connections, fostering a sense of camaraderie that extends beyond the club's boundaries. Her advice to newcomers is uplifting: "Embrace the activities and go to these events. These events are the perfect way to meet new people, form connections, and potentially find a family that you can call your friends."

Alamance Country Club expresses gratitude for the Denisar family's unwavering dedication and contributions, highlighting the positive impact they've made on the club's vibrant community. @alamancecountryclub

In the spotlight this week is Eric Simpson, who has been an integral part of Alamance Country Club for the past two years in his role as Maintenance Director. Coming from Elon, where he attended Western Alamance High School, Eric brings a deep connection to the local community. Over the course of his career, Eric has accumulated experience in roofing, tile repair, and general maintenance, showcasing a versatile skill set that greatly benefits the country club.

Eric's journey to Alamance Country Club was a fortunate one, as he stumbled upon the application while living in South Carolina. Motivated by a desire to revisit Elon and witness the area's transformation, he found himself falling in love with his hometown all over again. Alamance Country Club recognized Eric's talents, offering him a position that prompted a significant life change.

Eric made the decision to relocate back to Elon to be closer to his family, demonstrating not only his professional commitment but also his dedication to personal values. In the end, this was a blessing in disguise. The club is truly grateful for Eric Simpson's dedication, willingness to contribute, and the positive mindset he brings to enhance the atmosphere at Alamance Country Club. @alamancecountryclub

Pot of Gold Thursdays in the 1946 Grill

How it Works:

How it works: Every member family has their name in the tumbler. One name will be drawn at random. The winner MUST BE PRESENT IN THE GRILL OR SADDLECLUB LOUNGE! The gold starts off at $300 in credit.

Each week that the name drawn is not present, the name goes back in and the pot grows by $100 (capped @ $2000). This continues until someone wins and then the pot restarts at $300. So make your reservations, bring your friends, and come out to test your luck!

We draw every Thursday Night at 7pm! Must be present to win!
