A Year in Review FROM THE DIRECTOR, JEFF CHANDLEY

of member needs as well as provided insight to help better evaluate play. With that said, I understand that sometimes when you come out to play it may appear there is no need to make a reservation. It is very important for us to capture all reservations so we can develop programs and assign dollars to our tennis department. As stated in our policies, all members must make a reservation and check guest in before play. As we move into colder, even freezing temperatures, the maintenance staff will be evaluating the clay courts every morning when there is frost. This may cause delays for the courts. Please remember, when our clay courts freeze they may not be playable for several hours or even days. I want to congratulate Carmen Garcia-Jersild, our Associate Director and Director of Ladies Tennis, for the past 10 years of service to our membership. Carmen was recognized in September for her 10 years as part of our staff. The ladies program at the AAC has grown substantially during her tenure and continues to, because of her dedication to the membership. Thank you Carmen for all you do to make this department a success!!

What an exciting year to be back on the courts, in full force. We had a busy year getting back in the swing, especially with our “new normal.” The staff and tennis committee completed our SWOT analysis this past September. We have been evaluating our programs and facilities. We designated areas of the program that we hope to boost and identified areas where we excelled. A huge thank you to our tennis committee and their leadership, Kevin Case and Jason Huggins. They are committed in their efforts to continue to bring tennis programs and facility that will meet our members’ current expectations as well as future improvements. Last year we introduced our online court reservation system. Utilization of the system, capturing tennis data, has been a valuable tool. It has allowed us a better understanding
