It is that time of the year when we have an opportunity to look back at 2014 and review our accomplishments, challenges, our platform for growth and our 2015 expectations. As I write this article, I am reminded of the incredible transformation our Club is experiencing with a true sense of satisfaction we all share. An amazing amount has been accomplished in a short period of time. Our plan to improve our asset base began approximately 18 months ago. Today, almost all of the projects have been or are nearly completed. By any TOWN HALL MEETING Monday, January 5, 2014 4:00 pm Cypress Room measure, 2014 was an incredible year! The Creek Course renovation was completed a year ago. This was followed by the renovation of the Greenside Grille and Bar and the addition of two Bocce Courts. This summer, we updated the Cypress Room and Lounge with refurbished stools and chairs, new fixtures, wallpaper and a fresh coat of paint to create a very attractive update to our Club dining experience. Most recently, we completed the renovation on the Quail Course, which began last spring. The Course opened in November to rave reviews. Recently, we broke ground on Phase One of our Fitness Center and Spa project, which encompasses our Sports Lounge, an expanded exercise class room, restrooms and offices. Our Capital improvement projects did not distract us from our attention to our Members. The Club hosted a number of great events, from our End of Season From the Green Kevin F. Leo Happy New Year to all Quail Creek Country Club (QCCC) Members and their families from your Golf Course Maintenance staff. We look forward to see- 2 ing everyone out enjoying the newly renovated Quail and Creek Courses this winter golf season. We have had an eventful summer and we all hope everyone is proud of the Quail Course renovation. I would like to commend Members and guests on Party complete with dancing on the 18th Green, to the Welcome Back (Around the World) event, to Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners with over 500 served, to our now famous Burger Chef & Jeff with more than 300 in attendance. Thanks to all of you, your contributions to the employee holiday fund resulted in a significant improvement (+20%) over past years. Distributed to our 157 Club employees by a formula based solely on tenure, this well-deserved bonus is much appreciated by our staff. And, your generosity didn't end here. The Giving Tree in the Tennis Pro Shop was decorated with 51 tags that represented the number of children in our employee family. All tags were taken and returned with gifts, providing yet another special thank you from our membership. This year, we are particularly thankful to our Club Staff and the many Members who helped us achieve our ambitions through Committees and our Board. This is a very special time at Quail Creek, which we have tried to capture in our marketing tag line “Quail Creek Country Club: Everything a country club should be.” After our successes this year, maybe we should add, “2015—Rediscover Quail Creek Country Club.” Bob this year’s Pride Program. The results have been well received and, considering the amount of play we had, the Creek Course has held up very well. As we play the new Quail Course, please keep in mind its age and maintain the “Pride” we all have for QCCC. Keeping the golf courses in great playing shape starts with all of us. Carts on the path as much as possible, repairing divots and repairing ball marks is part of everyone’s daily golfing experience. Get out and enjoy yourselves and play some great golf. With Pride, Kevin Dear Members, At this time each year, we assess our membership counts. During the summer months, there is always a gradual reduction in both Golf and Social memberships. In the fall, membership recruitment improves. With the completion of the Quail Course, the Greenside Grille, Bocce Courts and the ground-breaking of Phase One of the Fitness Center and Spa, there is renewed vigor and optimism around our beautiful Club. Our best source of new Members is you. With the internet, marketing the Club has definitely changed, but there continues to be no substitute for Member-to-Member recruitment. The truth is, when we get people to come out to visit the Club and meet our Members and staff, they understand what we have to offer. When that happens, we do well in bringing them into our Quail Creek Country Club family. By now, you will have noticed A new year, a new face, a new Webmaster! Me! I am happy to be one of the newest additions to the Quail Creek Country Club (QCCC) team and hope to continue to improve on the Club’s already robust internet presence.

I want to thank the Club's Food & Beverage Director, Emily Hatcher, and your Dining Room Managers, Linda Landry and Bianca Morar, for all their effort to make sure that our Club has the finest staff anywhere.

From Membership Jennifer May As your new Membership and Marketing Director, I look forward to working with you. Quail Creek Country Club (QCCC) is an amazing place with even more amazing Members. This is only one of the reasons that I am so pleased to step into my new role. And, we have an exciting story to tell. Now that the renovations of our Golf Courses and Clubhouse are complete and the Fitness Center renovation is well on its way, we plan to communicate a message of renewal. While Quail Creek has a long-standing history in Naples, thanks to our renovation, the Club is virtually brand new. We will deliver this message locally via print advertising, direct mail to specific communities, and email to particular groups of interest in Naples, such as attorneys, doctors and CEOs. I hope that you too will share the news of our renewal with your friends, neighbors and acquaintances. I am pleased to announce that Jenni Caves is taking on my former job as Webmaster and Digital Marketing Specialist. I have worked with Jenni before and know you will find her friendly and knowledgeable. While she will continue to develop our Website and Facebook presence, she will also assist me in improving our internet communications through online advertising and social media. The QCCC Website is already a great tool for sharing information about our Club. We’ll turn it into an even better tool for capturing leads by adding enhanced content and promotions that give potential members more options to provide their contact information. We are focused on continuing to generate traffic coming through the Club so that I can introduce prospects to our wonderful amenities and our most important feature…YOU! With great golf, dining, tennis, fitness and spa PLUS the friendliest Members in Naples, this Club can’t be beat! I also recognize that Member satisfaction is a key component to the success of any Club. My door is always open. If I can help you find activities, be it a golf group or a tennis game, please stop by my office or give me a call. A number of you have stopped to offer your congratulations. Thank you.
