Dear Whitetail Club Members,

This month brings new developments and exciting events happening at Whitetail Club as we prepare for what promises to be an exceptional season ahead.

By now, you have likely received our Ladies Member Guest invite and/or watched our promotional film that provides a sneak peek of what can be expected from this year's Great Golf Expedition! If you haven't RSVP'd just yet, please reach out to The Golf Shop to lock in your spot. Similarly, invites for the 2024 Men's Invitational Tournament will be hitting mailboxes early this month – which will feature the official itinerary, tournament rules, and information on Generation Radio – this year's Summer Concert that will bring 80s rock and classic music back to life.

Save the date for our June 1 Members Only Wine Dinner as we partner with Napa Valley's finest winery, Duckhorn Vineyards. Cory Strobaugh, our Beverage Program Manager, is finalizing the menu. This promises to be a fun evening for all who attend, and I hope to see you there.

Renovations for The Fish & Swim Club are coming along nicely, and we are on track to have everything in order ahead of Memorial Day weekend. Likewise, our golf course is shaping up beautifully, with minimal damage observed around the greens and tee boxes. Our team is diligently preparing the course for our Season Opening Tournament on May 25. If you haven't already – make reservations to join us.

The marina is also being prepped for the summer as we are in the process of adding additional spaces to accommodate the growing demand. We will be reaching out to those on the waitlist upon project completion, so please stay tuned for further updates.

On the horizon, Phase 3 of our real estate expansion in Adams County is moving forward steadily, with renderings soon to be finalized. The level of interest from our membership has been great to see, and we're excited to share its official launch later this month.

In staffing news, the recruitment process for the Club Director position is nearing completion, with final interviews and site visits underway. Additional details will be shared once a decision is reached. Finally, our Member Portal will be launching two new features within the next two months that will elevate both your experience and our operational flow. Learn more on Page 7.

If you have any questions or require clarification on any of the updates mentioned above, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Club Concierge, Amanda Callahan, or me.

Sincerely,

PRESIDENT'S LETTER President 208.630.0227 | tgarcia@whitetailclub.com

ON DECK

Dear Whitetail Club Members,

Greetings to all of you; if I have not met you yet, I wanted to introduce myself. As the Whitetail Club/ Shore Lodge Beverage Program Manager, I wanted to reach out to you and share some exciting events coming up in 2024.

On Friday, September 13, we are excited to invite Long Shadows Vintners, from Walla Walla, back to McCall for our fall Members Only Wine Dinner hosted at the clubhouse. Long Shadows has long been a favorite winery of mine in Walla Walla as they showcase Celebrity winemaker collaborations.

I have a wine list available for your review with member pricing, or we'd be happy to procure wines that are distributed in Idaho for you. We will charge these orders to your member account and have them available as early as possible for pick up at the clubhouse when convenient.

In addition to our clubhouse events, we will be inviting Penfolds Winery to The Narrows Steakhouse on October 19 to explore the wines of

TAKE NOTE

As the final snow melts in McCall, the progress made over the winter becomes unveiled. With lots of interest in our new builds, we encourage you to contact our Real Estate Team if you are interested in any of these homes.

The snowy winter gave the building team the time to finish all interior framing and structural buildout. With that work completed, the focus for this month is on setting doors, hanging sheetrock, and painting on a large scale to prepare for interior finishes. May is the month of interior detail work. Tile, interior stone, and cabinet installations kick it all off.

Over the winter months, the team has been working on final flourishes to complete this home by the end of April. As they wait for the snow to melt, they'll commence on the looping driveway and landscaping to ensure this home has a scenic landscape that complements its striking architecture.

2 Under Par – The Fairways Townhomes

This Pencross continued progressing steadily throughout the winter months for a summer move-in. The home will have a tan exterior and a mountain modern interior package.

As the snow fell, various construction developments were underway for this Pencross. This home will have a gray exterior and mountain rustic interior package.
