MEMBERSHIP MATTERS MEMBERSHIP MATTERS

From the General Manager

Dear Members:

We have officially started the “waitlist” for new Full Membership!!! That being said, your friends could still join as Clubhouse Members until a Regular Membership becomes available Could be 2 weeks, a month, or longer, but they would be at the head of the list Some things to remember and contemplate:

We are hosting City Meet this month, where we proudly showcase LBC to other Clubs in the City

If every Member would bring their Spouse and 2 friends to dinner once each week it would bring in approximately $377 5K Adding an additional Member and spouse one extra time per month would add an additional $43,560

We have great banquet and meeting facilities, please consider LBC when you have to arrange business meetings, lunches, dinners, and “special” events for family and business Membership is the lifeblood of the Club Please refer friends and business associates Legacy Membership perpetuates generational Members and there is a special offering on Initiation Fees

Would you consider a “Life Membership” whereby you could be dues-free? Call me

Would you consider Business Memberships for your Company? Call me

We are continually trying to improve the Club and the Member’s experience, join a Committee or run for the Board of Directors and help formulate plans for the future

Please remember to check your calendars, The Anchor, and weekly news e-mails for happenings at the Club and make your reservations accordingly Also, remember that there is a cancellation “clause” on special events

As always, the Team and I appreciate our constructive comments because it is through these that we can improve your Membership experience

The future looks great and together we will accomplish great things.

Sincerely,

David

Sign Up to Volunteer for City Meet!

City Meet is less than 2 weeks away and we need your help! This is the time when we can “show off” LBC to other Clubs in the City When other clubs around town have hosted city meet, it is amazing due to the assistance and volunteer work from the host club members. We need to duplicate this and then some

This is an “ENTIRE CLUB” effort – not just swim families! It is our chance to shine! We appreciate your support!

Thank you Thank you

Dear Members:

This is a short note to thank you all for the good wishes and the “donations” to help restore my pride and joy, “The ’67 Camaro.” Your generosity overwhelms me.

I can say, with humility, that it has been a pleasure working at LBC for the past 40 years, taking care of the grounds, the facilities and most of all YOU the LBC Members. I plan on working here, if you want me, for many more years. But not for another 40!!

Again, I thank you for your support, your kindness and your generosity.
