There are a few special events this year that mean a great deal to me and
I want to make sure you know about them…and participate in them!
Events
On Saturday, May 21st, Berry Creek will remember our friend Brian Lietzke
with food, friends, and a little golf. What could be better? Oh, and we’ll be
raising money for Brian’s favorite charity, The First Tee! Mark your calendars and visit TheLietzkeMemorial.com for full details.

Now, a new event! Mark Monday, April 25th on your calendars for the 1st
Annual Swings for Strings golf tournament and concert benefiting
Georgetown High School’s orchestra program. We’ll tee it up at 1:00pm,
and then enjoy an on-site orchestra concert during dinner! This is going to
be cool! Check it out at SwingsForStrings.com!
As a club, Berry Creek’s generosity has always stood a head above all
others. I can’t wait to see it shine through again this year!

The committee for the Couples Golf
is already working on finalizing play
dates and other details for our 2016
season. Play will again be once a
month for eight months, starting in
March.
The website worked very well last
year for registration and
dissemination of information to
members. This year registration will
again be done on the website. It is
anticipated that in late January or
early February the website will be
ready to accept 2016 registration.

Tennis
Pro’s Corner
Well we made it! 2015 was outstanding year here at the Tennis Club at
Berry Creek. We added more league play to the Berry Creek courts than
ever before. Trey Baring came on board to enhance the staff last
January. We had a well deserved facelift to our pool area. We added
Blaike Woodruff, our fitness trainer, to the mix on this side of the creek. We
now have an awesome TV on the tennis center patio for members to
enjoy. We were lucky enough to add Madelyn Ereckson to the staff over
here as the Pro Shop Manger. With all that and more we are gearing up
for the 2016! Straight out of the gates we have the Berry Creek Winter
Open January 8-10. This is a USTA sanctioned event that will bring in
players young and old from all over the state to play the event hosted by
the staff at your tennis center. Get signed by clicking on the link
below. Also in January we will have the Berry Creek WTTA/USTA Ladies
Tennis Boot Camp January 26-29. We will be having USTA/WTTA
leagues beginning in mid February so if you’re interested in being on a
team or subbing, please call me at the Tennis Center or email
[email protected].

What is TRX Suspension Training?
Born in the Navy SEALs, Suspension
Training bodyweight exercise develops
strength, balance, flexibility and core stability
simultaneously. It requires the use of
the TRX Suspension Trainer, a highly
portable performance training tool that
leverages gravity and the user's body weight
to complete hundreds of exercises.

Thank you Mr.& Mrs. Choate for helping make Berry Creek
"The Friendliest Club in Georgetown".
From the General Manager
Welcome to 2016! I hope everyone had a memorable holiday season with your loved ones. As fantastic as 2015
was, we are ready to make 2016 the best year ever. The recent ‘State of the Club’ letter lists the many accomplishments in 2015, and it’s now time to plan for more improvements and events for the coming year.
2016 will kick off with the annual Casino Night hosted by the Social Committee on Saturday, January 23rd. Make
your reservations early as this event is always full.
Part of Berry Creek’s culture is the vast amount of charitable contributions the club and its members make each
year. The Berry Creek Cancer Fund tournament (on June 11th this year) is one of many incredible events the membership supports and it raises over $50,000 each year. If you have always wanted to volunteer, but aren’t sure how,
ask us about ‘Berry Cares’ and let the club help you find new and unique ways to make a difference.
I would like to welcome Mike Schafer and Paul Hohlstein as your new at-large members of the Board of Governors. The board continues to embrace the Club Pride initiative and plans to make it part of our culture for many
years in the future.
P.S. - Don’t forget prepaid dues are back! If you didn’t get the chance to prepay dues during the holidays, you can
still receive incentives by prepaying the year by January 29th.
Donny Darville, GM

Make A Wish House
Russell Harlien worked 300 hours to hang 70,000 lights
synchronized to 64 animations at his home at 400 Liscio Cove. A
red donation box out front collected over $20,000 for the “MAKE A
WISH” Foundation last year. Mr. Harlien says "The only way to get
rid of darkness is to add more light.”
All of the money donated goes to the local MAW Fund. Kathryn
Draper of Make-A-Wish Foundation told the American Statesman
that the wishes granted bring normalcy to a family with a sick child.
It gives them something to look forward to and the entire family participates.
Berry Creek will be awarding the Harlien family a special Berry
Cares Award and a donation to the fund.
Donations can still be made at berrycreekchristmas.com.
