TREASURER’S REPORT These three financial components work together to sustain and grow Member equity. A fortified capital ledger strategically positions the Princess Anne today and for future generations. Your Board continues to focus considerable attention on the balance sheet and equity. Traditionally, clubs fund these components with initiation fees, capital fees, assessments, and debt.

This year, your Club funded $886,056 in debt service; nearly $1.5 million in capital replacements, such as a new tennis bubble, new carpet, fitness center flooring and equipment, tee box renovations, driving range fencing, and ladies lounge improvements; and $714,534 in aspirational enhancements such as the Beckett’s Bunker golf simulator and the preliminary ordering for the Linkhorn Lounge refresh, scheduled to begin in January 2024.

Over the past twenty-one years, the Princess Anne Family has invested over $32 million in aspirational capital enhancements 5

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE Submitted by Chair Amy Metzger This year has been filled with continued enthusiasm for events and activities offered by PACC. The Oyster Roast is most certainly the “It” event of the year, with Christmas events close behind. These Club favorites are always at full capacity. The Team worked hard to overcome staffing shortages and continued to “make it happen.”

For 2023, we took a pause from the more traditional New Year’s Eve activities and opted for smaller, more intimate offerings. We are hopeful that this pause will allow the Team and Members to reset and launch NYE 2024 in a way that will be attractive to more Members.

We reviewed the Club surveys to pinpoint areas of expansion and improvement in the entertainment sector with Dawn, our new Director of Catering and Special Events. With this knowledge in mind, she has jumped in and kicked off several fun new “pop-up” events at the pool deck and fun new twists on Club staples such as the Monopoly-themed party to celebrate the Men’s Member-Guest Golf Tournament.

Spring produced a couple hiccups with rainy days, but we worked through, making events happen rain or shine with some alternative indoor options. Our PACC team leaders are truly spectacular at pivoting!

Summer was the best yet with our new pool in full swing. There was lots of family fun each week on the pool deck, allowing for an array of opportunities for Members of all ages to enjoy this amenity all season long.

As we look to round out 2023, we will continue to research and collaborate with other committees and outside Club resources to stay on par with the desires of our Princess Anne Family!

FITNESS COMMITTEE Submitted by Chair Esther Vaughan It has been a rewarding year at the PACC Lifestyles Fitness and Wellness Center (LFWC)! We have seen an exciting renovation, new, special programming, and the addition of new Team Members, classes and fitness challenges.

The popularity of the fitness center has continued to increase with late June and July setting new usage records. We love to see the energy of our teens and college students training alongside our seniors, business professionals and everyone in-between. We inspire one another!

Special events including the Annual Wellness Week, Fit Pro Open House and Turkey Trot were well-attended this year, and new programming was introduced including expanded mind-body classes, fitness challenges and opportunities for the Members to donate through quarterly blood drives.

Several upgrades were completed early in the year to include the addition of a Hammer Strength 3-tier dumbbell rack and a Hammer Strength power rack in our free-weight area. The year culminated with our long-anticipated refresh which included repairs and fresh paint throughout the center, new gym flooring and many small upgrades throughout. Our new, state-of-the-art functional training system, Aktiv Gym Rax, adds additional workout space and many new training possibilities to the east side of the gym. Other new equipment installed during the makeover included a Life Fitness cable tower and pulldown, leg raise and assisted chin/dip machines. We look forward to offering expanded programming utilizing our new equipment in the coming year.

Led by the multi-talented and dedicated Andrea Pettay, the professionalism of our entire Fitness Team, including personal trainers, massage therapists and front desk attendants, adds great value to the Member experience. We were especially happy to welcome new Fitness Manager Lisa Stephens to the Team this year, and are delighted with her energy, resourcefulness and positivity! The LFWC will continue to improve and expand our fitness and wellness offerings in 2024 and beyond.

13 ANNUAL REPORT | 2023

As the PACC Green Committee turned the corner on 2023 our goals were lofty and, under the steady hand of our Director of Golf Course Maintenance and Club Grounds Jordan Spitler, with the support of his Team, we were off and running. The “Star of the Show” was the first phase or our tee renovation project, but was accompanied by supporting projects to include the driving range, bridge and path work on #4, cart path drainage, sprucing up native areas, re-design of the #15 bunker and, of course, the year to year aeration and course conditioning. We also welcomed to our Committee Chris Devine, a lifelong Member of the PACC. The ground work was set in motion in late 2022 to prepare for Double Eagle (the company chosen to do the tee renovation) to begin the tee project in January of this year. It was the prep work completed by Jordan’s Team in the fall of 2022 that would keep this project moving forward. We started on the rebuilding of 3, 8, 9, 11, 13 and 15 teeing grounds in January and completed the project in March, on budget. It was the patience of our playing Members and the decisions of our Committee that afforded this Club a beautiful result. By early summer we had a product that exceeded all expectations.

The Zeon Zoysia took root and is only going to get better. The success of this early phase of the tee renovation opened the door to complete the remaining 12 tee boxes by April 2024. The teeing grounds on #1 will be incorporated into our newly designed short game practice area project, due to its proximity to the project.

A by-product of the tee renovation was some much needed attention to the driving range as it relates to drainage. By making use of the spoils of the old tee boxes, Jordan’s Team was able to redesign the drainage field as well as raise low areas on the range. We also reclaimed a piece of property adjacent

Mother Nature, as she does, led this Committee to take swift action on remedying the results of high water closures on the fourth hole by creating and implementing a plan to raise the bridge and cart path. This plan was vetted out and completed by early summer. The results have been extremely effective. The Committee has determined it necessary to move forward on addressing the rising water and erosion that affects the other areas around the course. This is a responsible decision for the future of our course.

No year would be complete without addressing the “Bunker on 15.” I think we have it.

With help of golf course shaper Dave Axland and course designer Tim Liddy, we have our third rendition of the 15th bunker. While on the grounds, they also did some redesign and shaping of areas on 6 and 18. These improvements, along with the modified deep tine fracturing and dry jecting that began in 2022, have given us a beautiful, healthy golf course. To maintain the course, Jordan and his Team have successfully taken delivery of our brand new equipment package. The structure of lease/buy will allow the team to keep up to date equipment in order to more efficiently keep our course in “tip-top” shape.

In the spring of 2023, on the heels of a successful tee renovation, the Committee, with Board approval, moved forward with the design of a new short game practice area and practice putting green. Although hoping to begin this project this fall, we will begin the project in the fall of 2024. As the year draws to an end, this Green Committee stays committed to act in the best interest of all of our Members. We are responsible for a gem of a golf course and will continue to champion whatever it takes to allow her to shine as she has done for more than 100 years.

Much appreciation goes out to Jordan Spitler and his Team, the Board of Directors and the entire Membership of the Princess Anne Country Club. The future of this golf course is leveraged on the work we do today.

This committee continues to look to the Future by acting in the Present.

MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE Submitted by Chair Sam Steingold The Membership Committee is dedicated to ensuring the Princess Anne is comprised of families who uphold the values of our Club and position us for future success. The Club continues to see unprecedented interest in membership, which resulted in 71 applications for membership this year, each of which were thoroughly vetted by the Committee.

Members. Throughout the year, the Club remained over the cap for non-resident full membership and was unable to welcome any applicants from the waiting list into that membership class. For Resident Full and Athletic membership, we fell below the cap several times and were able to welcome 19 new Members, honor one reinstatement of a former Member and upgrade three current Members.

The membership cap is set at 740 for Resident Full and Athletic Members and 160 for Non-Resident Full

While there is no cap on resident and non-resident social membership, the Club remained on a freeze for

these membership classes for a large portion of the year. The Board worked with the Operations Team to continually evaluate Club usage to ensure that lifting the membership freeze would not impede Member access to amenities and programs. In January, the Board temporarily lifted the freeze on social membership and welcomed three new social Members as well as permitted three Members to return from a leave of absence to social membership. In late September, as I am crafting this report, the Board again voted to

WELCOME NEW MEMBERS temporarily lift the freeze on social membership, which will welcome one new resident social Member, six new non-resident social Members, permit four social Members to return from a leave of absence and welcome two former social Members back to the Club.

With a full membership, it was difficult to anticipate at the year’s onset the revenue that would be generated from initiation fees. We are pleased to report that we greatly surpassed our $78,635 initiation fee budget with $427,067 collected.

At the end of the fiscal year, the Club waiting list includes 150 applicants waiting to join, upgrade or reactivate their membership. We are ending this year with a membership of 1170 families, 27 less than our beginning roster of 1197.

As we move into FY 2023-2024, the Committee will continue to thoroughly vet all membership applications and welcome new Members as space becomes available.

POOL COMMITTEE Submitted by Chair Dave Poteran

21 ANNUAL REPORT | 2023

This year, our pool and aquatic activities didn’t just thrive, they exploded with excitement and energy! We ignited the season with a colossal splash at our Second Annual Spring Splash, led by none other than the daredevil himself, Mark Horton from the Pool Committee, who fearlessly hurled himself off the diving board. The participation count doubled, signifying the birth of a thrilling new tradition that our beloved Princess Anne Families can eagerly anticipate every year.

The moment the heater roared to life, in just 24 hours, it transformed the frigid waters into a balmy 83-degree paradise. Within days, water aerobics and lap swimming sessions commenced, setting the stage for a summer of aquatic activities. But that wasn’t all – we introduced Yoga Class On The Pool Deck, which was a hit with the PACC community. We’re determined to keep infusing fitness and mindfulness into the very heart of the PACC aquatics complex. With the pool staying heated until late October, we’re extending the season, granting more opportunities for exercise in our temperate Fall, an absolute game-changer.

The Pool Committee, driven by unbridled enthusiasm, spearheaded a triumphant sponsorship recruitment campaign this year. The influx of resources allowed us to supercharge our swim team gatherings. Aquatics Director Brian Triolet turned our meets and end-of-season banquet into a spectacle for the ages. A sno cone truck, exhilarating water slides, pulsating beats from DJs, and a host of entertainment enhancements electrified the atmosphere. Our new families dived right in, both as swimmers and dedicated parent volunteers. With the unwavering leadership of our swim coaches Coach Bryan Rudolph and Chris Hakim we’ve ensured that our Breakers swim team maintains its momentum from the previous season. Offering flexible practice times made it effortless for families to involve their little ones in the action. Our aquatics complex has become the envy of the league, with other teams dreaming of holding their meets at our remarkable venue.

As my tenure as Pool Committee Chair draws to a close, I can’t help but reflect on the extraordinary journey we’ve undertaken together, navigating the grand opening of our spectacular aquatics complex. Over the past two seasons, our Committee has worked tirelessly, consistently providing invaluable feedback to the operations Team to guarantee an unparalleled Member experience.

We’ll keep fine-tuning our amenities to ensure the PACC aquatics experience consistently lives up to the loftiest of Member expectations. It’s been an honor and a privilege to witness this aquatic marvel come to life.

YOUTH COMMITTEE Submitted by Chair Kelly Disharoon Under the helm of Youth Manager Taylor Nelson, the youth program at The Princess Anne is providing programming that reaches children with a wide variety of interests. Taylor and his Team continue to be innovative in their approach, adding exciting new events year after year. For example, in 2023 we brought in local coaches to provide lacrosse and basketball day camps for kids where they were able to receive personalized coaching and further their skills in these sports.

In 2023, our youth program thrived with many of our events being sold out and a number of event attendees exceeding the previous years. The summer months kicked off with our popular week-long themed youth summer camps. This year, we had live animals visit for kids to hold and a firetruck come for them to climb on! The kids loved getting dressed up for a special date with their parent at our Mother/ Son and Father/Daughter Dances. Here they got to enjoy a DJ, ice cream bar, corsages, photo booth and, new this year, a nerf gun battle for the boys. No wonder so many kids exclaim this is their favorite night of the year!

In the fall we have our Fall Fest! A fun filled evening of smores, games and the infamous tractor pulled hayride on the golf course.

Our Children’s Halloween sees our youngest Members walk through the Club for candy and to see the spooky decorations, the children also enjoyed pumpkin decorating on breakers boulevard in October. Family Bingo Night is another huge hit amongst families with a food buffet and prizes given out the winners, this event will be an annual event for years to come.

This winter our traditional holiday events were back in full swing. The Elf movie night and Nutcracker Tea went off without a hitch.

The kids enjoyed hot chocolate, cookie decorating and watching the nutcracker dancers perform. The ever-popular Santafest and pictures with Santa wrapped up our holiday events. Kids enjoyed breakfast, crafts and got to take pictures with Santa. Taylor and his team put a lot of creativity into these events and they are always a success!

The Reef room for grades four and up has been frequented by tweens and teens as a space to do homework, watch sports and play games with their peers. The room has been a success and the teens are happy to have this space to call their own. Our Kids’ Club 3800 babysitting room for our youngest Members continues to stay booked with Friday night and Saturday day and night options available, giving parents the freedom to grab dinner in the Chesapeake room or enjoy a game of tennis or golf.

The youth program at the Princess Anne and the Team behind it is committed to keeping our youngest Members engaged by creating an environment that encourages play, comradery and fun! I cannot thank the Team and Committee enough for their time and service. It has been an honor to work alongside them in making our Club the best it can be for our youth. I have been honored to serve our remarkable Club over the past three years as head of the Youth Committee and welcome Ashley Knapp as my predecessor to continue growing this wonderful program!

Cabernet and chardonnay still rule the day here at the PACC! We had another banner year of

WINE COMMITTEE Submitted by Chair Gray Randolph

wine sales and our Members know what they want. Member preferences fit pretty well with national trends. French, Spanish and Aussie wines are all popular at the moment, but US based chardonnay and cabernet lead the pack with billions in sales annually.

Digging into the numbers a little, we can see a top ten that clearly shows our preference for chardonnay. Leading the pack is a new favorite, Sonoma Cutrer Russian River; 1500 bottles sold!

Clearly, the discerning palates of the PACC have grown ever so slightly to a more sophisticated wine in the Sonoma Cutrer RRV. The national trend toward lighter use of oak has been welcomed by all of Napa and Sonoma. The wines tend to be more balanced now, rather than the former oak bombs of past vintages. Our best buddy, William Hill, is still banging around in the top ten, as are a few cabernet faves like Quilt, Bonanza and Post and Beam. All solid wines in my estimation. There was a surprise pinot entry in the top ten, with Dairyman finishing number five in the top ten. It says pinot on the label so it must be true. At least 75% true. I think the other 25% must be some ripe Syrah loveliness, which makes it sweet and dessert-like. But after all, who cares much, it tastes good to your palate. We clearly have a bubbles crowd. The last wine I will mention is the wonderful and bubbly Veuve Clicquot. Despite the fact that I can’t spell it without looking it up, this is a wonderful champagne from one of the great French houses.

One hundred and forty three bottles were sold this year, let’s hope to more than one person. It wasn’t me, at least not all of it.

This year’s harvest has been long and slow, much like a crockpot. Napa has been relatively cool with no heat spikes. Estimates are that the harvest will fall about three weeks late this year. It has been hot in certain places in the US, but the grapes tell us Napa Valley and Sonoma County are not in that group. The slow ripening should create wines that are wonderful because the entire grape, seed, skin and stem get ripe. Phenolic ripeness. The perfect grape for wine.

Fingers crossed, as of the writing of this report in early October, no cabernet has been picked in the valley.

Cheers!

I am looking forward to another great year of wine in 2024. See you all at the Club!

Cheers, 27 ANNUAL REPORT | 2023
