To create a vibrant community with a distinct American culture; a place that families can proudly call their home away from home.
We are in the happiness business, striving to enrich the lives of our Members, employees, guests and partners through fun, food, fitness and family, delivered with passion and pride.
The governance structure of the Club is that it is member-owned. There are 25 committees which provide plenty of opportunities to get involved as a volunteer. The committees support the Club management through strategic counsel and policy making.
Only the General Committee (GC) has approval power.
Each year at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in November, six spots are available for election/re-election for a two-year tenure. From the GC, the Executive Committee (EXCO) is formed each year in April.
If Members wish to volunteer on any of the Committees, please fill up the online Volunteer Interest Form.
