MEMBER spotlight

Meet the stars of this week's Member Spotlight, the Ruppe Family, whose presence has been illuminating Alamance Country Club for seven years.

Erin and her husband, John Paul (JP), have made a cozy home within the heart of the club by enjoying the club's dynamic atmosphere, sun-soaked days by the pool, and participating in the diverse selection of social activities that ACC proudly offers.

The Ruppe Family

Their two beautiful daughters, Abigail and Aubrey, make a splash as proud members of the Piranha Swim Team, bringing both youthful energy and sportsmanship to the ACC aquatic community.

Erin further develops the club experience as she enjoys the Goose and Gander club with her friends. This is an innovative design to bridge generational gaps and foster connections among members of all ages.

Erin passionately encourages newcomers to "come with your eyes open and meet new families." Her advice extends beyond the Goose and Gander gatherings, echoing a sentiment that has resonated with the Ruppe family since day one.

Their heartfelt connection to the club goes beyond the surface, transcending the typical boundaries of a social club and evolving into genuine, lifelong friendships.

As the Ruppe family continues to contribute their warmth and enthusiasm, they stand as a shining example of what makes the ACC community truly exceptional. @alamancecountryclub

Employee Spotlight

TE

RRY L ONARD E

In the heart of Alamance Country Club, we find Terry Leonard, fondly known as "Coach" among his peers, with a fascinating journey that spans from the landscapes of Colorado to the vibrant community outside of Boston. With a rich background in coaching at the CMC Alpine Campus and leading the American Alpine team to the World University Games in Erzurum, Turkey, Terry boasts an impressive 40 years of experience in Alpine Ski Racing Terry's coaching career allowed him to cross the country, encountering and nurturing D1 talent. Having spent a decade in Colorado, Terry's trajectory brought him to the private club scene. Drawing from his previous experience at a Coloradobased private club and sparking his interest in the dynamic atmosphere of exclusive memberships.

Embracing the spirit of adventure, Terry decided to cast his fate to the wind and apply for a position at Alamance Country Club. After an interview with Jeff, Terry quickly became an integral part of the club, contributing significantly to the grounds crew. Beyond the world of skiing and private clubs, Terry reveals another passion – photography.

Equipped with his trusty Nikon D90, he captures the beauty of nature, the essence of street life, and the intricate details of architecture. Terry's friendly demeanor, dedication, and positive attitude have become valuable assets to the Alamance Country Club, adding a vibrant touch to the club's atmosphere and creating a sense of camaraderie among the team. @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!
