THE CLUB AT THE TOP OF THE TOWN
December 2014
“We are the premier private business Club in Windsor/Essex County.
We accomplish this by supporting the business and social activities
of our members and their families.”
President’s Message
This is my last message to you, our valued members. First,
I want to thank you for the privilege of serving as your
President for the last year. Next, I want to thank the hard
working staff who all pitched in and did whatever it took to
ensure that your member experience was exceptional.
Without them, and the extra effort they put in at times this
year when we faced numerous hurdles, I would suspect that
your experience would have been less than acceptable. So,
thank you to our hard working staff.
It has been a year of change. Some change for the better and some change that
set us back a bit, but in totality, it has been a good year. We have a solid foundation, a Board that wants your Club to be the premier business club in
Windsor-Essex, and we all look forward to the future with great anticipation.
Our new GM, Jennifer Ralston, has extensive experience in business improveHOURS OF OPERATION ment and delivering results. We look forward to reaping the rewards of her

As I mentioned last month, we owe a huge thank you to Federica Nazzani and
Don Little for their herculean efforts on our behalf dealing with the Club’s
finances. We all owe them a huge thank you.
As I stated at the beginning of this message, it has been a privilege and an
honour to be your President for the past year. I thank you all for your support,
especially the Past-Presidents, a group that I am now eligible to participate in.
I will see you around the Club.
