BOARD OF DIRECTORS
As we gave thanks last week and celebrated Thanksgiving,
we feel extremely grateful for 2013. It was a slow start,
but is going to end up being another successful year for
our club. A record 51 new members, strong participation
in member events, and an increase in banquet business all
contributed to what will be a net profit on the income
statement at the end of year.
2014 Planning
Planning for 2014 has already begun and we are anticipating a year of growth!
The board of directors, committees, management, and staff are committed to de-
veloping every aspect of Oxbow CC that may be in need of improvements or
attention. Your comments and input are very much appreciated by all of us, so
don’t hesitate to contact me any time.
Our event calendar is also filling up nicely. We have made a concentrated effort
to only book outside golf events on Monday and Tuesdays, with only one excep-
tion for Cully’s Kids; leaving Wednesday – Sunday exclusively for our mem-
bers. A full calendar of member functions will be sent out after the first of the
year so you can plan ahead and attend all of our fun events.
Sarah Leaving for New Position
I am sad to announce this month that Sarah Lavelle will be stepping down as our
director of member engagement and events to start a new job with the Cass
County Sheriff’s Office. Sarah has been a terrific asset to our club and my right
hand the past year. I want to thank her for her hard work and I wish her all the
best in her future endeavors. We will launch a regional search in the coming
weeks to fill the position.
Golf Course & Club House Design
Progress on the new golf course design is well underway. We have received
great feedback on the overall concept and layout presented at the membership
meeting. The Board of Directors approved the general layout and concept of the
design. A poster is on display at the club that shows the most up to date version.
Partners & Sirny was selected as our architect for the clubhouse this week. The
Minneapolis based firm specializes in private club design and is also the archi-
tect for Doolittle’s Restaurants. They will be working closely with us in the
coming month to begin gathering feedback from our membership in the form of
surveys, focus groups, and town hall meetings as a design takes shape. If you are
interested in being more involved, please contact me about joining a committee.
We want our membership to be actively engaged throughout the entire project.
Reminder
Just a reminder $50/month food and beverage minimums are in effect through-
out the off season. We are excited about the new menu and have received great
feedback from our membership on the new entrées. Take note of the calendar on
the back page; with many holiday parties in December member dining may be
located in the grill some evenings.

HAPPY NEW
YEAR!
David Wood
A few years ago an Oxbow member Ken Toop, now de-ceased, had an idea to help raise money for the club. He thought an auction or stag night would work. It was tried with success thanks to all. We do not know what hap-
pened but in the last two years the infusion of ideas, motivation, and enthusiasm for Oxbow Country Club has far exceeded previous ef-forts. With the changes coming to the city of Oxbow and the golf course, the horizon looks very bright for the ongoing maintenance of new and old turf at Oxbow Country Club. This year’s Stag dollars will be an enormous investment toward our equipment fleet. This commitment along with next year’s stag efforts will guide the transition into the NEW Oxbow. This letter is to express our sincere appreciation for the generosity of the Stag Committee, Board of Director’s and Oxbow membership. The support and dedication toward YOUR golf club and Maintenance Department is unwavering. So again a simple thank you seems small but that is all we have for now. We look forward to the upcoming spring to be able to showoff these new pieces of equipment. THANK YOU!!
