WIGWAM CC UPDATES

Message from Denise James (2025 WCC ELection)

1/11/2025

0 Comments

 
Dear WCC Members,
Our Board of Directors (BOD) election will be upon us very soon. This year three seats are up for election. Two of these seats will be for three year terms. The third seat will be to fill out the remaining one year of the term vacated when Grant Lincke resigned. The election is open to any member in good standing; however, only one person from a membership may serve on the Board at a time.
Joining the board is a rewarding opportunity to serve the membership of the Wigwam Country Club (WCC). As a Director you will have the opportunity to develop and execute ideas that will continue to enhance the experience of our members, adding value to our membership. There will be opportunities to aid in planning social events, golf tournaments, tennis events, and much more. The BOD is looking for individuals who are interested in furthering our community and bringing new ideas to the table.
The WCC has several committees dedicated to ensuring the club functions run smoothly for our members. Election to the BOD is purely voluntary, and Directors are expected to serve on one of our seven committees. Committee Chairs are required to attend our board meetings (which are held monthly from October through April) as well as submit a report at each meeting.
How to apply:
• Submit a letter of intent detailing your qualifications and why you are running, as well as a photo, to Vice President Denise James ([email protected]) and to Secretary Oliveira ([email protected]).
• Letters and Photos are due no later than 2/11/2025.
What is the process?
• All qualified nominees will be presented to the Board by VP Denise James for their approval. Approved nominees will be contacted and informed that they are candidates for election.
• The candidate names will be posted in alphabetical order on WCC bulletin boards.
• Candidate letters and photos will be published in the March & April editions of the Wigwam Update Newsletter.
The two candidates receiving the most votes will fill the three year terms. The candidate receiving the third most votes will assume the one year term.
Voting will open 4/1/2025 and close at midnight 4/14/2025. All voting will take place electronically and take no more than one minute of your time. Only one vote per membership will be accepted. Election Judge Kevin McElvain will verify the results and certify the election. The candidates will be informed of the results by VP Denise James. Results of the Election will be announced via email on 4/18 and the introduction of the new Board of Directors for the new season will be done at the Annual Meeting on May 2, 2025.
Denise James,
V.P. and Nominating Chair

Here are Your Minutes & Reports from our 1.8.2024 WCC Board Meeting

1/11/2025

To access the full package of minutes and reports from yesterday's board meeting CLICK HERE.
​

It was an action-packed meeting and I've listed some of the key take-aways below:
  • Renovations are now complete on the final 36 Casitas (complete with patio firepits) located on #1 Fairway of the Blue Course. They are using the old furniture until the new order arrives.
  • Tennis monthly dues are increasing by as much as 39% and Katy Powers (Wigwam GM) apologized to the board for how poorly the recent announcement was handled. The bottom line is that The Wigwam believes that this increase is necessary to bring them to parity with what similar clubs are charging and to cover the cost of the tennis and fitness facilities. While Katy is not able to reduce the amount of the increase, she did agree to delay implementation until May 1st.
  • Tennis will be hiring a new teaching pro soon.
  • A representative from a company who designs, equips, and maintains fitness centers was onsite this week working on proposals for revamping ours.
  • Demand for Pickleball from hotel guests and those evaluating venues for conventions is rapidly growing and presenting challenges.
  • JDM Golf continues to offer our tennis members the same discount on green fees as the guests of golf members receive. This equates to 30% to 50%.
  • 184 new golf carts have arrived.
  • Work on our new Use Agreement with JDM continues but is not complete.
  • The board is close to approving the enforcement plans for our “Two Cart Policy”. Very soon every one of our golf members will be asked to confirm that they have read and understand the policy which states that no group may use more than two total golf carts if any Wigwam carts are in the group. The first violation will bring with it an automatic suspension of membership privileges for everyone in the group. Watch for further details.
  • The board approved the hiring of a compensated “Social Chair” at a rate of $600/month for the eight months our events are typically active. This role will probably not be limited to social events. Food & beverage purchases for our social, golf, and tennis events account for a huge portion of our club spending. It is likely that this new position will grow into a WCC Food & Beverage Chair providing creative food, beverage, and venue options for all of our events. Nothing firm yet and it will probably be March or April before the hiring process gets underway. This will involve advertising the job and interviewing member applicants.
  • The board approved a $5,000 budget for Nine, Wine & Dine for the remainder of this fiscal year. These events have not historically been financially supported by the club but have become increasingly popular and the board wishes to support that growing popularity. Three time WCC President, Michael Toscano, as agreed to assume the leadership role for these events. Mike never has a shortage of good ideas, and this budget will help him try some of them out.
  • Handicap Chair, Anj Brown, has completed her first review using the new handicap assessment tool. This tool scours all scores posted by our golf members looking for “flags”. When a flag is raised it explains why and makes recommendations on changes if appropriate. Of our 499 golf members with current handicaps, the first application of this tool flagged 57. Although the tool has an option to simply allow it to automatically apply its recommendations, Anj isn’t using that at this point. She is manually reviewing the details on all 57 and will then take appropriate action.
  • We have an election coming up. You will soon receive the details via email on how to throw your hat in the ring for one of the three elected positions which will be open for three year terms beginning with our new fiscal year on May 1st.

Message from Rick Cicci: 

Dear Member, 
 
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we went through the key changeover for the Fitness Center and pool gates.  The key card you picked up at the front desk was temporary, as we ordered new cards to put your photo and member # on the card.  
 
To receive your new member ID with photo & member #, please email a photo of yourself & your spouse to [email protected] 
 
Notes: 
1) Eligible family members are spouses and their children living at home & between 16-22 years old. 
2) If you are requesting an ID card for your 16-22-year-old, please include a copy of their driver's license with the picture they would like to use on their ID. 
3) Due to the number of cards that need to be made, please allow 4 weeks for your card to be made up.
