As we approach the holidays, there are many festive occasions, including Jubilee and Santa photos, that are strong, positive reminders of the change in season. Another occasion I always enjoy at the WAC is Friends & Family. Our late fall and winter membership drive brings new members and friends to the WAC, and with them comes enhanced energy in the building and in Club Programs. We are coming off a year of growth in the Club, and we hope that we can continue that momentum with your referrals of potential new members. We're also grateful for everything our current members do to make new members feel invited and welcome. Joining a new club can be a transformative experience, and it's great to see how our WAC members and team members ensure that new members from diverse backgrounds and with various life experiences all feel appreciated and embraced. It is with great pleasure that I witness our members extending their hands in friendship, offering guidance, and helping newcomers navigate their journey of being engaged in the Club and toward health and fitness. Our commitment to ensuring that everyone feels a sense of belonging is what truly sets us apart, and I encourage all of us to continue that wonderful tradition of WAC hospitality. e upcoming holidays provide a splendid opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the spirit of togetherness. e Club has many exciting events in store where we can enjoy each other's company. Let's use this time to not only stay committed to our fitness goals but also to bond, share, and create lasting memories with our fellow members. Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful and fulfilling holiday season ahead. Roger Wylie Chairman of the Board of Governors rwylie@wac.net
