I do see positive changes... but give me a break. David has been there for 2.5 months. Even by your counting (with which I disagree) it took 2 years to screw it up. I just do not understand the thinking that says we can take a serious problem, hire someone with credentials to fix it and then complain that in his 2.5 months on the job here he has not completely fixed it.
The point of the 40 year remark is to acknowledge that we have very long memories here and will make fixing anything tough. I have heard a number of people complain about the bad food and then proudly proclaim that they have "not set foot in the place" since the 1990s. One final observation... The numbers always lag the change so even if he had fixed it all in June/July... that would not yet be reflected in the numbers.. Jeff |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Jeff: "but I see positive changes at the Club" "Positive changes"? Please help this old country boy understand what you are talking about. Retail sales are down from last July, bottom line performance is off by 48%, and last night the menu for dinner was the same old nothing. The closest thing to a premium bottle of beer was National Bohemian in a can. The only thing that could be considered a positive is the economic stimulus we provided to the surronding community with our over the top six figure payroll."It took us 40 years or do to screw it up" Speak for yourself. When I left the board in 2010 after three years of service the Yacht Club had just enjoyed its best year in ten. We actually came within $15,000.00 of breaking even. Those numbers are now in the rear view mirror and we are back up to just shy of $175,000.00 in losses before depreciation and after $100,000.00 in decorating. So, in reality, it only took us two years to "screw it up". Marty |
