Letter from the President - December 2018

My fellow members;

We will soon have completed that which I believe can be accurately described as another successful year of ASC operations involving all departments and within the constraints of sound financial planning and controls procedures.

As we close 2018 it is appropriate that we express our appreciation to Steve Cooper (Community Relations) and Cal Perry (Membership) who will be retiring from their ASC Board of Directors activities effective December 31, 2018.

During Steve’s current two year tenure the club's active participation in numerous community activities has increased dramatically thereby creating a platform for additional initiatives commencing in 2019. Assuming Steve’s position on the BOD as Community Relations Director is Stephen Pasco. Stephen's past business experiences and his having been a member of other local sporting clubs is expected to be of invaluable assistance in our developing a long range ASC Community Relations strategy.

Our sincere thanks also go to Cal Perry who stepped into the breech as Membership Director at a time when dramatically automated membership systems were being implemented. Cal is well known, and unreservedly applauded, for his avid support for our nation’s military veterans and as such he plans to devote additional time to the Veteran’s Outreach Program to which ASC provides financial support. Assuming Cal’s position as Membership Director will be Dave Williams. For decades Dave has been one of the most widely respected ASC members and has previously served on the Board of Directors in various capacities including that of Membership Director. Dave’s experience will be invaluable to the development of a long term strategic plan including additional activities for all ASC members and expounding the ASC footprint more deeply in the numerous communities in which ASC members reside.

On behalf of your entire Board of Directors I wish all members and their families a joyous and safe Christmas and New Year’s season

Respectfully,
Dick Reichter, President
