Using the Club House rules help define who we are By Michelle Van Slack, Director Member Services T he Club is buzzing with new members following WAC Friends & Family. That makes this a perfect time to highlight a few basic rules all members should know. Entering the Club When you enter the Club, you should present your membership card with your photograph facing the security officer. This helps maintain our distinction as a private club while also ensuring the security of all members. Welcoming guests Members are encouraged to share the Club with friends, family, and business associates. But there are limits. Members must accompany their guests through security unless they are checking in to the Inn. If your guests don't arrive with you, they will be welcomed by security and invited to wait for you in the seating area of the lobby. Dress code Once you're in the Club, the dress of choice is business casual. Athletic attire is permitted when moving through the lobby to access athletic areas or when checking in to the Inn. At a minimum, clean and modest attire without holes is expected. Some Club locations do have different dress codes, pricing, guest frequency restrictions, and daily use fees. Here's a quick breakdown: • Club restaurants: Guests welcome! Business or informal attire is appropriate—even jeans. Active workout clothes are not permitted, however. In all venues, a shower is BY THE BOOK expected after vigorous exercise. Please refrain from entering when still sweaty. • Spa: Guests welcome! Guest rates apply.
