Letter from the Board Room

Happy Holidays to One and All. This is an exciting time to be a Member
of the Sangamo Club! Over the past year, in response to the Member sur-
vey, the Board of Trustees has worked hard to bring new ideas to the Club.
From offering a Thanksgiving Day feast or Easter Brunch to draft beers and
drink specials, I sincerely hope that you are enjoying our new energy and
great food.

More is on the way! We now have a Wine Committee dedicated to making
sure we have fabulous offerings and wine dinners with on point pairings.
We have an Art Committee looking at the best ways to display our incredi-
ble collection. We have a Young Professionals Committee, making sure that
the Club offers events that appeal to all our members. If you would like to
join one of these or create your own, please contact General Manager Jim
Repeta and we would be delighted to have you on board.

Here is a fun gift idea! You can buy Sangamo Club gift cards in any
amount for your family, friends and business associates. They don’t need
to be a member to use them and of course we take credit cards if they want
to have a bigger night on the town.

Please also note that we are running a new member/returning member
special. If you bring in a new member, you receive a $250 dining credit.
If you are a returning member, you receive the credit. We have so much
to offer our members and their guests, great food, great events and great
opportunities to use other clubs when you travel. Bring someone new and
have a beautiful dinner, or two, on us!

Finally, I wish to thank all of you for being part of the Sangamo Club fam-
ily. We all appreciate your continued support and I wish you all a joyous
holiday season. See you at the Candlelight Dinner!
Mrs. Leslie A. Sgro
President
Sangamo Club Board of Directors

membership report

by ali murphy, membership director

It’s the Holiday Season and there is no better gift than the gift of Membership! If you
have a child or grandchild who is looking to network with local leaders, indulge in the
finest cuisines or jet set across the nation, a Sangamo Club membership is the perfect
stocking stuffer! If interested please contact me. New member sponsorship qualifies you
as an ambassador. In this program, sponsoring individuals will receive $250.00 food and
beverage credit and another $100.00 after the new member has completed their thirteenth
month of membership. The gift of membership is truly the gift that keeps on giving! We
are still working hard to bring more affinity clubs to Sangamo. How would you like to be
a member of the Investment club, the Singles Social club, or the Wine, Spirits and Cigar
Group? Or do you have an idea all your own? Let us know what types of groups and activ-
ities you want to see in YOUR Club. Lastly, during the month of December we are working
with HSHS St. Johns Children’s Hospital. The Club is collecting newly purchased items
to give the children a Merry Christmas. Should you wish to donate, you can contact me or
drop them by the Club.

Please visit http://sjchildrens.org/Giving/Gifts-of-toys-and-supplies to view a full list of
items you can purchase to make the season a little brighter for a child who is ill this Christ-
mas.

Happy Holidays Sangamo Club Members!

We’re offering gift cards! Sangamo Club
Gift Card
Sangamo Gift Cards make for the perfect “Gift” for every-
one in your office. They are especially terrific for any friend
that is not currently a Sangamo Club member! Gift cards can
be redeemed for food and beverages at the Sangamo Club.
Any purchase over the card balance can be easily settled with
a credit card since the Club accepts credit card payment for
non-member meals!

Hall [email protected], (217) 544-1793, and they
will make out a gift card for any amount of your choice!

‘tis the season for generosity

As a part of our Local First initiative and in the spirit of giving, the Sangamo Club invites our members and staff to
get involved. The Club will be collecting donations to support two local institutes. We will be collecting blankets,
sweat shirts, and socks for the Washington Street Mission. Donations will be delivered the week of Thanksgiving.
So if you find yourself cleaning out your closet, do your part and bring in these items. We are also supporting HSHS
St. Johns Children’s Hospital by way of new toy and art supplies donations. These items must be purchased new
to be given to the children. Together we can help those in need this holiday season.
