FAQ: 2025 Membership Fee Increases
The club is making necessary investments to improve its operations and long-term sustainability, including:
- Strengthening financial stability with guidance from external professionals.
- Hiring a full-time club pro as an employee, offering more structured lessons and clinics.
- Establishing a Capital Fund to work towards long-term facility expansion.
- Transitioning to a professional services model for club management, reducing reliance on volunteers.
Yes. After reviewing financial needs, club operations, and long-term goals, the board unanimously approved the membership fee increases to ensure stability and future growth.
We have engaged SV Law to assist with governance best practices and anticipate engaging Baker Tilly for financial support. These steps will help us ensure responsible planning and transparency.
- The new pro will be a full-time employee, expected to maintain regular hours at the club.
- Our primary focus will be children’s programs and clinics for players below the 4.0 NTRP level.
- We are exploring free clinics and lessons for members at scheduled times to improve access to instruction.
The club has long pursued a vision for a year-round facility, but progress has been slow. The Capital Fund is a structured plan to raise $500,000 over 10 years, working with township and private partners. The club is developing a secure investment plan to ensure these funds are managed transparently and in the best interest of members.
We are shifting towards a committee-based model, where real decision-making will take place. Members will be invited to join committees for tournaments, leagues, and events to have a say in how the club operates. Those interested in board positions will be encouraged to first participate in committees to see how decisions are made.
The approved 2025 budget will be published in the coming months for all members to review.
Yes! As we get closer to the spring season, we will host a town hall where members can ask questions and discuss these changes in greater detail.
