What a season it has been—and we're only just getting started! Fall and winter were exceptionally busy and truly flourished at the WAC. In September, we launched hot yoga and Reformer Pilates, expanding our fitness class lineup to nearly 90 a week— our highest number in six years—with more on the way! In October, we held the Gatsby Gala, raising funds for renovations to Helene Madison Pool. anks to the incredible support of our members, we were able to replace all pool windows and wall panels—marking the first ma- jor update to the space in 22 years! We couldn't be more excited about how quickly we raised money for and completed this project. November brought even more momentum. We relaunched Torchy's breakfast, featuring an omelet bar and, on weekends, bottom- less mimosas. It has been a huge hit with members and Inn at the WAC guests. If you haven't tried it, don't delay! During December, we welcomed more than 700 members and guests to Jubilee 95, taking the ambiance, menu, and exclusive experiences of our annual holiday party to new heights. And during January, e Main Event once again brought together formal attire, comedy, and premier college boxing in the WAC Clubhouse. Yes, it's been a busy few months indeed! Looking ahead, we're preparing for our Spring Open House; the launch of our WAC Heritage Series, which will bring back WAC classics, including dance nights and scuba diving in the pool; and an expanded set of youth activities. None of this would be possible without our dedicated WAC team and our many member volunteers. ank you for your com- mitment, your energy, and your passion for making the WAC a vibrant community. With gratitude, Suzana Sakay President & CEO
