Food & Beverage news
Around the Clubhouse BY AARON STRAUB, DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS CONCERT GOLF PARTNERS
It has been a great pleasure working so closely at Carrollwood these past three months. I have had a tremendous sense of excitement, accomplishment, and achievement watching this department take some important steps towards providing you, the Members, with an exceptional Food and Beverage product. With that in mind I am tremendously thrilled to announce the appointment of Todd Browne to the position of Food and Beverage Director here at Carrollwood. I will still be on property working with Todd to continue the evolution of your Food and Beverage Department, but Todd had taken immediate and decisive steps to build in substantial ways upon my initial vision. Which is all the proof I need that a good choice was made in Todd. Todd comes to us with an impressive Resume, which includes previous Director and GM experience at Resorts, and high end Restaurants. I have been encouraged by both his passion, and dedication to the work at hand at Carrollwood. His mentorship of his Team, his care with you the Members, and his strategic vision for the direction of your Club have been highlights for me of his early weeks at Carrollwood. I know you will see him frequently!
The coming months will prove to be exciting times in Food and Beverage at Carrollwood. The Independence Day Celebration was a huge success! We have launched a weekly Member Mixer program every Wednesday evening with huge specials on Food and Drink as well as a weekly Manager Host. This has been a huge success and extremely fun! Each week has been an amazing example to me of what makes this Club so special. More fun is to come! we have also been thrilled with the addition of the Traditions Dinner Dance to our Calendar. Our first event, The Kentucky Derby Dance, had over 125 people in attendance enjoying Mint Julep’s, dancing, and fine Hats. We have also set our Summer Schedule of Wine Dinners. Our June 19th wine event with Michael Salzer from Excelsior Wines was also very successful. In addition we have rolled out a new Menu for the Grille, Turn Grille and the Oasis at the Pool. If any Member has a great idea for a fun Event, or feedback that they would like to provide on the Department, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Todd, or myself. Sincerely, Aaron Straub, Director of Operations Concert Golf Partners
