WAC�� MAGAZINE MARCH 2013 Volume 32, Number 3 ISSN 1091-7985 Letter from the President & CEO Chuck Nelson, President & Chief Executive Officer / cnelson@wac.net Working together O ne of the great joys of coming to the WAC every day, as I get to do, is seeing so many different people using the Club in so many different ways. One of our greatest advantages and strengths is the diversity of our activities, services and amenities that all happen under one roof and are included in one membership. In our fitness areas, we see world-class athletes preparing for the Olympics and world championships next to participants in our Get Fit classes starting down their own path to healthier lifestyles. We see kids ordering hot dogs in the Sports Caf�� and adults tapping our wine cellar for the best bottles our state has to offer. (March is Washington Wine Month, you know!) While a family celebrates grandpa���s birthday in Torchy���s, a Fortune 500 company with local ties holds all-day meetings capped by a black-tie event in the Crystal Room. And any and all enjoy overnight accommodations in our spectacular Inn at the WAC. This month���s WAC Magazine offers a glimpse into our full menu of offerings. The benefits of membership are on every page, from Buzz to PostScript. These pages, like the Clubhouse itself, are filled with fitness and joy���and our great community of members using the Club for their health, social and business advantage. The magazine along with wac.net���and frequent and useful electronic communications���help us all explore the wonderful ways to maximize and realize the full benefit of all the great things that happen here. This broad variety of services is also the great opportunity and challenge of the business side of the WAC. We all have the responsibility to honor the great traditions of the Club while managing and preparing for the next generation of members. We work hard to excel at everything we do and to know what you as members use most���and care most about. We���re constantly adding new programs, amenities, and top-quality facilities and equipment that push us all forward. We value your feedback, and we���ll continue to add ways to communicate with you and hear from you. The WAC team and our wonderful member leaders work together closely to keep our commitment to short- and long-term strategic and operational planning���and to ensure our continued status as the premiere city athletic club in the country.
