A MESSAGE FROM THE COO: BUILDING SUCCESS TOGETHER
Larry S. Savvides, CCM, CCE, CAM Chief Operating Officer/General Manager As we move through the summer months, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for the commitment, professionalism, and pride you bring to Hunters Run Country Club every day. While our pace may change with the seasons, our purpose remains the same, to provide an exceptional experience for our members and guests. That experience is only possible because of the dedication of every department and every team member. Whether you work directly with members or support our operations behind the scenes, your contributions matter and play an important role in our success. This time of year, also gives us an opportunity to prepare for what lies ahead. Across the Club, we're continuing to invest in our facilities, strengthen our teams, and look for ways to improve how we work together. Excellence is never achieved by standing still, it comes from a willingness to learn, adapt, and continuously improve.
As we look forward to the upcoming season, I encourage each of us to focus on three simple commitments: • Take pride in your work. Every task, no matter how big or small, contributes to the experience our members remember. • Support one another. Great teams are built on trust, respect, and a willingness to help each other succeed. • L ook for opportunities to improve. Small ideas and daily improvements often have the greatest impact over time. I also want to thank you for the positive attitude and resilience you continue to demonstrate. Hospitality is about serving others, but it's also about supporting one another. When we work together with a shared purpose, there is no limit to what we can accomplish. On behalf of our leadership team, thank you for everything you do for Hunters Run. I look forward to building on our momentum and creating another outstanding season together. Have a safe and enjoyable summer, and thank you for being an important part of the Hunters Run family.

EVERY SMILE MATTERS
One kind word. One helping hand. One smile. One extra effort.
Director of People & Culture
Those small moments may seem ordinary, but together they create something extraordinary.
Emily Roeckle, PHR
July is a time when many of us are enjoying the summer, spending time with family and friends, and creating memories outside of work. It's also a great reminder that the moments we create for others, both here at Hunters Run and at home, matter more than we often realize. Every day, our members choose Hunters Run because of the experience we provide. That experience isn't created by one department or one individual. It takes all of us working together. Whether you're greeting members at the front gate, preparing a meal in the kitchen, maintaining our beautiful grounds, serving in one of our restaurants, supporting behind the scenes, or helping a fellow team member, your work makes a difference.

As we continue through the summer, let's challenge ourselves to look for opportunities to brighten someone's day. Offer encouragement to a coworker. Say thank you. Lend a hand when someone is busy. Celebrate each other's successes. Small acts of kindness create a workplace where people feel valued, respected, and proud to be part of the Hunters Run family. Thank you for everything you do each day. Your dedication, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are what make Hunters Run such a special place to work and serve our members. Wishing you and your family a safe, happy and enjoyable Summer!
