The New Member
Meetup on August
13 brought together
more than 60 new
and current
members over
cocktails and
casual conversation.
The event was
sponsored by the
ACC Blue Wings.
The ACC Annual Golf Outing was
held at Pinnacle Golf Club on August
17. Forty-three members hit the links
for the outing. Congratulations to
Scramble winners Tim D’Angelo and

winner Steve Jeffries!

My how time flies! As I write this, the Undisputed National
Champs have reported for football practice, it seems like only
yesterday they were hoisting the trophy. Very soon sign-ups will
begin for our fall squash and basketball leagues. New fitness
classes will be offered to members of all ages. Our chef will be
preparing new items for your culinary experience. We continue
to receive very positive reviews in social media regarding our
ability to host wedding receptions and other events. Looking
back, our 2014-15 fiscal year will have closed as of August 31,
resulting in a net member growth of 35 new members and the
4th year in a row of net income. Your Board has been very active
this summer as it reviews plans for an updated facilities master
plan and takes a deep dive into the budget process for the
2015-2016 fiscal year.
As previously noted, our “crown jewel”
clubhouse turns 100 years old this year. As
members, I believe we all have the responsibility
to continue to move the ACC to a higher
level than when we joined. Each year we
use resources for the general upkeep of the
building, including many “behind the scenes”
projects such as maintaining our freight elevator,
staircase repairs, and replacement of carpeting
and window furnishings. Additionally, resources
are needed to retain and develop dedicated
staff in the dining, athletic and other areas of the
club, with whom we interact on a daily basis.
Over the past year, your Board has reviewed
all aspects of the club’s operations and capital
spending. We want to make sure that the cash
flows generated from the operations of the
club, along with the capital dues received,
are maximized for enhancing the member
experience and for the best return to all
members. We have also done a deep dive
on previous capital improvement projects to
make sure we can use those “lessons learned”
to plan future projects. This past year, we will
have re-invested approximately $600K in capital
improvements.

institute minimums in order to encourage
use of their dining facilities. This amount has
not changed in the 30 years that I have
been a member. Our food and beverage
costs have increased significantly over that
period, so the “level” of use required to
meet the minimum today is much less than
it was when the minimum policy was last
set at $65. To further encourage members
to utilize our dining options, the Board also
decided to allow food and beverage
purchases anytime on Saturday or Sunday
to apply against your minimum (in addition
to after 5 PM purchases Mon. through Fri.)
The members of the Board of Directors,
in concert with our Club management
team, have worked rigorously over the
summer to budget appropriately for the
year ahead. To prepare for our future, it is
necessary to keep the Club relevant and
compelling for both our current members
Effective with the quarterly minimum cycle
and for those who have yet to join. With
beginning September 1, we will be increasing
the quarterly minimum by $10 per quarter. Clubs that being said, we have determined that

We have officially ended the 2015 fiscal year with a net
gain in membership of 35. This outcome far exceeds the
Board’s goal set last summer of a positive 7 members for
the year and marks the first time that membership rolls grew
in the past 18 years. Board President Mike Fritz points out
this same fact in his letter that you just read on the previous
page, but news this good bears repeating!
Looking back over the past 10 years, we can see how The
ACC has taken decisive steps to navigate the rough water
that separates the club of yesterday to a club of now, and
the future. In 2005 the club purchased the parking lot,
introduced childcare services, and began modernizing
the programming to be inclusive of the modern club
member. In 2008, the Board recognized the dues and
fees as insufficient to sustain any club, let alone a platinum
level club experience, and increased fees to correspond
to ACC standards. In recent years, the positive operating
income has enabled the club to get back on track
addressing improvements and area facelifts that are long
overdue. The positive relationship that’s developed over
the past 10 years of vision and execution with the increase
in membership is not a random phenomenon. The club
industry has plenty of examples where the clubs’ boards
have built upon successes to maintain relevance and
freshness.
While the ACC Board and committees are hard at work,
the staff is also working to build upon past successes. The
coming year will bring continued focus on programming
for the areas of fitness, food and beverage and social
programming. By the way, you would be correct to point
out that similar things are said every year. To that, it is
important to add that a main source of energy for the staff
is seeing how much the membership enjoys an aspect of
the club that they have a hand in offering. It is because of
this pride in service that we are comfortably confident that
an ever increasing level of service is achievable.
This past year, Chef John Wolfe and his kitchen staff have
done a terrific job. Reviews from weddings, corporate
receptions, and member events have revealed an
unprecedented string of over-the-top positive reviews.
The club’s food is frequently acknowledged with fervor.
Typically, reviews read something along the lines,
“…my guests and I agree that The ACC has the best
reception food we’ve ever had.” We hear similar rave
reviews from our members about the pizzas introduced
last year in The Booth, as well as the cocktail and beer
programs that have begun flourishing.
Your club is like no other place in Columbus. We look
forward to experiencing delicious food and drinks,
innovative events and programs, and exceptional service
with you this year, all while keeping your membership and
the club fresh for years to come.
LIFE BRINGS CHANGES
From time to time, life brings changes that affect our
financial picture: new jobs, promotions, retirement,
births, deaths, marriage or divorce, etc. Such life
changes make it necessary for us to periodically review
our financial plans to determine if they are still working
toward our current and future goals.
If you would like a free consultation, please give us a call.

What a year!
Membership growth surpasses goals
The fiscal year wrapped up on August 31, at which
time the number of net new members over the
past year was finally calculated. While we continue
to welcome new faces to the club month after
month, we also resign members each month due
to relocation, job changes and the like. The goal is
always to welcome more members than we lose.
The goal for this past fiscal year was to end with a
net positive seven members when all applications
and resignations had been accepted. With the
opening of The Booth last fall, paired with overall
excitement and engagement throughout the
clubhouse, we are ecstatic to report that the
ACC ended the fiscal year with a net positive 35
members!
This number was achieved by the dedicated
members who continuously share their member
experience with others, as well as by the leadership
of the Board of Directors and committee members
who work to drive the club forward. We are all
looking forward to another very bright year ahead!

100 YEARS
Forty-seven Columbus business
men, believing in the future of
their city and confident of the
demand for a large and wellequipped club with athletic
and social features, gathered
together on the evening of
September 26, 1912, and
organized the Athletic Club of
Columbus, with Mr. Henry
J. Booth as its President. By
May 1, 1913, less than six months
after organization, the Club
membership had grown to over
800. Consolidation with the Ohio
Club was then effected, and on
July 1, 1913, the Athletic Club of
Columbus began operation in its
own quarters on the twelfth floor
of the Columbus Savings & Trust
Building (now known as The Atlas
Building,) with an enrollment of
1,000 members and a waiting list.
Plans were soonthereafter
launched for a new home for
the Athletic Club of Columbus.
After careful consideration of a
large number of available sites,
the Club determined upon the
location known as the Trinity
House Property, on the north side
of East Broad Street, between
Third and Fourth Streets, fronting
approximately 93 feet on Broad
Street and extending back 187
1/2 feet. Construction was soon
underway for the permanent
club home.
In November 1915, the doors to
the newly erected Athletic Club
of Columbus clubhouse opened.
