A Warm Holiday Greeting

On behalf of my staff and I, we would like to wish all of our members and families a
blessed Christmas and a safe and happy holiday season.

As I reflect back on 2022, I am very humbled by the support and help I received from
my staff, the Board of Directors, and you the members.

We navigated through some challenging change as a club in 2022; it's my belief that all
of our changes will provide a foundation for sustainable success well into the future!
Your patience throughout the process was much appreciated. I am so thankful that

the pandemic is in our rear view mirror.
Thanks again for a memorable year! My team and I are excited about serving all of

you in 2023!
- Mike

CHEF OF THE MONTH

Congratulations! Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits

"Walking into a well-known country club in Golden, guests are
greeted by the sounds of laughing club members heading back
to the golf course after a nice lunch, the smell of freshly made
pasta, and the comforting crackle of a wood-burning fireplace.
This is a normal Wednesday for Chef Dominic Menna, who is
hard at work in the kitchen, crafting the day’s specialty dish.
Wednesdays are special at the club, as Chef Menna channels
his childhood into a made-from-scratch Italian dish that doesn’t

disappoint.
Chef Menna grew up in Detroit and cites his parents as the
biggest influence for his culinary journey. Both were from Italy
and are amazing cooks. “Everything was homemade, with love,”
he says of his childhood. He’s carried that love and passion
with him through his career, beginning the journey in his early
twenties under the tutelage of great chefs. Today, he enjoys
making all the club’s sauces and soups, and loves to experiment
with different wines that enhance the flavors. He also loves to
get creative with dessert and incorporates different spirits that

match up with the flavors.
One of Chef Menna’s goals is to ‘pay it forward.’ Training and
educating new chefs coming through the ranks is one of his
greatest joys – he has graduated nearly 100 apprentices in his

career.
“Everyone thinks I’m back there cooking everything,” Chef
Menna says. “In reality, I have a team. I allow my staff to do
their job and I just bail them out if they need it. I’m there for

support.”
Chef Menna’s scratch cooking is a benefit to club members who need to look no further than the club’s restaurant to
experience all things culinary, from house made pasta to flambé desserts. Chef Menna has a knack for cooking that can
satiate anyone’s palate, but perhaps more notable than even his most sought-after dishes is his heart, which remains

dedicated to the next generation of wonderful chefs."
