A LETTER FROM THE

GENERAL MANAGER

Ms. Sarah M. Ford, CHAE

[email protected]

I’d like to dedicate this article to the hardworking team members at The Army and Navy Club. Employee Appreciation Day
in the U.S. was on Friday, March 4th; however, I feel great employees should be recognized and appreciated all year-round.
During a time where staff are leaving companies in record numbers and the majority of Clubs are struggling to keep up with
service due to employee shortage, the ANC Team has shown up time and time again. I’ve seen them battle snowstorms, tra-
verse road closures and barricades, stay late, come in early, and work on scheduled days off all to ensure our members get the
great service we know you deserve.
The Membership and Marketing Team are constantly creating new ideas for the Club, recently doubling the number of com-
munications to members and staff. The Front Desk Team had to implement new procedures quickly and effectively to comply
with various orders and mandates while working around the clock to ensure the comfort of our guests staying in overnight
accommodations. The Food and Beverage Team executed various food “to-go” programs and added new dining events to our
calendar lineup. The Maintenance Team is constantly busy working on repairs and the up-keep of an aging building. The
Banquet and Events Team (which for a while was only one person) innovated and upgraded Club technology to offer all of our
live-stream virtual events. The Accounting Staff had to learn all new technology so they could work remotely during closures
and ensure our continued financial stability. The success of the Club is truly in the hands of this great team, without which we
would not be able to open our doors.
I could continue on with all of their great accomplishments for another two pages, but I was only given one page for my letter.
I will end this sentiment with a great and hardy THANK YOU, to all ANC team members.
Switching gears, I’m happy to share that we are once again hosting the wildly popular Rooftop Happy Hour series. There will
be five Rooftop Happy Hour events with the first being on May 18th, and the last on September 21st. Come experience some
of the best weather, views, drinks, and hors d’oeuvres in the city. You can mingle with old friends, or meet new ones, in this
spectacular and limited event series.
Speaking of great events, Easter is also upon us. Bring the family for a delectable Easter Brunch on Sunday, April 17th, which
includes a special children’s menu sure to appease even the most finicky eaters.
I offer a final thank you to all of our beloved members. Your loyal support and unwavering commitment to the Club has been
the driving force for our committed staff. Because of you, we’ve made it through the worst, and the best is yet to come.

Ms. Sarah M. Ford, CHAE

In conjunction with these efforts, The Library Trust was
given permission to photograph and digitize the cruise book
for addition in our online collection website, Collections.Ar-
myNavyClub.org. We photographed each page of the cruise
book prior to its departure to Oklahoma, and we are current-

the collection of photographs, which includes transcribing
the hand-written inscriptions on the photos and determining
the scenes, actions, and information depicted in each pho-

online by this summer.

Admiral Clark was the first Native American to graduate
from the United States Naval Academy. Called “the fighting-
est Admiral in the Pacific Theatre” by Fleet Admiral Chester
W. Nimitz, he is remembered for his famous saying: “Watch
every angle and fight for every inch.” His first assignments
were aboard destroyers during World War I; he transitioned
to naval aviation soon after. He commanded carriers USS
Suwannee (ACV-27) and USS Yorktown (CV-10). Clark was
an aggressive commander, serving in the Fast Carrier Task
