Photos for Your Membership
We have recently upgraded our software and are excited about the added features that it gives us. We will be capturing member photos as part of the database. This will protect your membership from erroneous use as both the office and front desk will be assisted in identifying individuals on an account. It will assist us in protecting the private-club status of our facility.
Please come by the front desk and see if it is a good time to capture a picture. We will need to capture one for each person on the account, including children and baby-sitters.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Karen Lankford, Front Office Manager & Member Coordinator. Email or Call 988-5000.
