Club Update

A NOTE FROM YOUR TRIAD REGIONAL DIRECTOR

It's likely that you saw my email regarding the new General Manager who will be joining the Old North State Club team. We are excited to welcome Ms. Kelley Williams in early June after she wraps up her responsibilities in the mountains of North Carolina where she currently serves as the GM of Camp Lake James. For those who may have missed the email, I will include Kelley's bio in the right column of this page. Stay tuned for information regarding a welcome reception for Kelley.

A few weeks ago, I announced the return of Chris Callicutt to lead our tennis and fitness programs. Unfortunately, circumstances arose that required Chris to withdraw from the position. In the meantime, we resumed the search process and I am excited to welcome another new addition to the team. Mr. Garcian D'Cruz will be arriving at Old North State Club on May 16 as the Director of Tennis and Fitness. Garcian is not afraid to have some fun, as evidenced by the photo under his bio (right column) where he was donned in all pink for an event at Cleveland Country Club. You will indeed enjoy his energy and enthusiasm!

Thank you for your continued support of Old North State Club. It has been a busy year already and the team looks forward to an even busier remainder of spring and summer. Please join me in thanking the incredible department leaders whom have all worn many hats the last few months.
