ME MB E RSHIP
We came in on a whim Saturday night and we're so glad we did. You all are on top of your game! The Clubhouse looks amazing, the wait staff couldn't have been better and our meal in the Wigwam was some of the best soft shell crab we've ever had.
No Meeting
Our waiter in the Wigwam, Raphael, was so attentive and even discussed World Cup soccer with us. Then he walked us out to the hall after dinner. This is the kind of thing that sets our Club apart. I've been a member since 2004 and have never been more proud of my Club than I am today. Thank you.
C O M M U N I C AT I O N S COMMITTEE
NANCY HABLUTZEL Note to the Front Desk, especially Alexis White, after locating lost items! You people always amaze me!! We think the Club is one of the best things that ever happened to us. See you next week, and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
DAMIAN KREBSBACH I just wanted to pass along a note of gratitude. We are having a retirement ceremony today for our deputy commander, and one of his awards fell out of the carrying case during shipment and arrived completely wrinkled. It would have been unacceptable to display the award in its current condition. I knew I could get some help from the house staff at ULC, so I ran over there this afternoon to seek assistance. Long and short, Jeff Fisher at the Bell Desk connected me with Jackie Shanahan, the Assistant Housekeeping Manager. Jackie took me to see one of the housekeeping staff, Cita Rios who stopped what she was doing to help me out. Though the interaction only took a few minutes, it was an excellent display of support that I've come to know while a member at the Club. We truly have a top notch staff supporting our endeavors, and I wanted to pass along how grateful and proud I am to be associated with them.

When I arrived as Director of the Art Collection in May 2016, a top priority was to create a searchable, online public database whereby the entire world would have digital access to our first-rate art collection. With the stellar support of former IT Assistant Manager Vince DiBeasi, this dream is now a reality! Go to the ULCC website, hover over the "Culture" tab and click the “Art Collection” link. From there you may search by artist's name and title, or simply “Explore the Collection” at random. A good number of collection highlights are featured, and we will be adding to the database continuously, so visit online often. —Sally Metzler
