President’s Message Happy 2009! I hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday and is well on the way to accomplishing their new years resolutions. We have a lot on the go this year at the Club and as such, I have a great deal to share with everyone in this edition of the Club News. First, let me provide an update on the expansion proposal. Given the size of the proposed expansion, prior to taking the final detail to members, the Board wants to ensure that the City will not request any significant changes. To this end, we have had a predevelopment permit meeting with the City of Calgary. We are currently reviewing the City’s initial comments and work is underway for the development permit application. Our goal is to submit an application to the City in February 2009. Further on the expansion proposal, the Board has voted unanimously to postpone the member vote from this spring to late fall. We find ourselves in the fortunate position of possible flat to declining construction costs in 2009. We believe the Club will be much better positioned to take advantage of changes in the construction market in the fall to early winter 2009 time frame. This is quite a change from early 2008 when we had to consider escalation on construction of close to 18% per year. Prior to going to members in the fall we will update the proposed cost of the project and adapt the plans to accommodate requested changes from the City. We will begin to roll out communication on the proposal shortly after everyone returns from the summer for fall programs. In addition to working on the expansion proposal, the Board is starting two more initiatives that I would like to make you aware of. First, we are in the process of developing an ongoing measure of member satisfaction at the Club. This measure will be established in a way that it can be repeated Inside this issue... 2 “Memberable Moments” 8 Preschool 3 President’s Message 4 Club Notices 5 General Manager Quarterly 6 Aquatics Angela Boehm over time giving us an indication of how your satisfaction with the Club, and its services, is changing. We will be able to focus on specific areas and services. This may require a small amount of time on the part of members in the future. The return on that time is providing a glimpse of where we should focus our efforts to serve members better. The Board is also in the process of beginning benchmarking on costs. We intend to start at a macro level and focus internally initially. The process will grow to a more detailed view in the future, eventually having benchmarks that are comparable to external sources. The purpose here is to develop a set of indicators that tell us how well we are managing costs and where effort should be focused for improvement. One more interesting initiative I would like to inform you of is the start of a staff member service committee. This committee consists of 14 staff from all departments. The goal of the committee is to develop a uniform service philosophy and strategy, making service both the top priority and consistent everywhere throughout the Club. The committee’s philosophy is summarized as CWC – “Certainly We Can”. I look forward to updating you in the future as this committee begins implementing this plan to engrain this service philosophy throughout the Club. Finally, I look forward to seeing many of you at the volunteer appreciation evening on February 24 th . It’s always impressive to see how well attended this event is, an indication of how many people give of their time to contribute to our Club.
