Manager’s Report – Jeff Ristau

wiring and believed it was caused by corrosion.

member feedback was positive.
 Chef Bobby is working on the menu and has some thoughts about potential dinner nights.
 Jeff has received multiple inquiries about hosting gatherings in excess of the “one table
per membership” rule. He reported that with the renovated Clubhouse, members are
looking to take advantage of using Club facilities for family and social events.
 The EC discussed and agreed that members could host “events” provided the rules related
to the number of permitted guests are followed. EC members agreed that Jeff has
discretion to approve any exceptions to the rules based on time of year, expected capacity,
and his past experience.

Treasurer’s Report – Dickie Garnett
 Dickie provided an update on the Club’s financials.
 He reported that most billing errors have been corrected.
 Dickie informed the EC that the budget for the upcoming season is tight and the Club still
has many bills from opening activities that have not yet been received.
 Julie requested that the EC approve $2,500 for framing photos for the clubhouse and for
the purchase of pillows. Photos will include a photo of last year’s swim team, the 100 th
event, and historic photos. A motion was made to approve a budget of up to $2,500 for
framing photos and purchasing pillows for the clubhouse. The motion was seconded and
passed.

 Dickie stated that credit card fees continue to increase. Last year they were 8k at this time
and this year they are 10k. He will continue to look at options for passing through credit
card processing fees to members. In the interim, he urged members to pay by check or
ACH, when possible.
Membership – Ali Maglieri

 Ali would like to see waitlist data moved to the new guest database. EC members agreed
the application would not be moved to the database, only the applicants’ name and date
of application.
 Ali reported that two legacies have requested their legacy memberships are 7 members
who are legacy eligible between now and the next membership meeting in May 2027.
 and there are an additional 7-8 members who are legacy eligible between now and the
next potential membership meeting in May 2027.
Social – Alanna Schreck
 The opening cocktail party was held on Saturday June 6 th . Though the weather was cold,
the event was still well attended.

in the coming weeks.

House & Long-Range Planning – Julie Veale
 The sea deck is in and looks great, the railings will be coming in the next few weeks.
 Provided there are no unexpected costs, the sea deck project should be close to the initial
estimate.
 Dickie will start to gather estimates for repairs and/or replacements to the South Lockers.
 Dickie will also reach out to Rye Beach Landscaping to get some estimates for
reinforcing the remaining revetment.
 The Capital & Maintenance Plan Development deck from February was shared for EC
review.

Technology – Erik Browning
 The EC discussed the new membership database. Erik confirmed it is working well to
date.
 Currently, the waitlist is not in the database so we are not able to track guest attendance
against the priority waitlist. The goal is to eventually store the waitlist in the new
database.
 The new sensors (people counter) are up and running.

 The EC discussed the Club’s website. Members agreed we need to better understand what
functionality members would like to have and then we can better determine the
associated cost.
Other Business
 The EC discussed preparations for the annual meeting. Craig asked members to finalize
all meeting material so the handouts could be printed.
 Craig informed EC members about the nominees for the Board of Directors and the EC.
The nominating committee was comprised of Alan Lewis, Brian Murphy, and Matt
Kadnar. Nominees for the BOD and EC are Gwen Blouin, Jamie Greene, and Johanna
Silkowski.
 Craig noted that the swim committee chair would need to be filled. It was noted that
Jamie was a former swim official and perhaps he could serve as chair.

meeting concluded at 8:36.
The Executive Committee will meet on July 14, 2026, at 7:00 pm at the Beach Club.
