ANDY IRVINEDirector, Events & Family Activities

Get ready for a year of style, sport, and adventure. Our 2014 Collection of Exclusive Events has it all. This year, we not only introduce several new events, but we welcome back many of our old favorites—some of which have been with

us since we started Exclusive Events 10 years ago.

For our 10th Annual Wine Tour, we return to California to enjoy the beautiful fall weather and some excellent vintages. You’ll tee off on the championship courses of Sea Island with PGA professional golfers and other athletes at our 10th Annual Members Golf Tournament. Be part of the action at Super Bowl XLVIII in the heart of it all, the Big Apple. And square off against other member families in Exclusive Resorts’ own real-life version of the Hunger Games (except with more fun and food and a lower body count).

Read on and take a look at all of events this year, each one more amazing than the last, and at least one that fulfills your wildest dreams. Make 2014 a year to remember.

As always, Exclusive Events are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. We expect this year’s events to be quite popular—secure your reservation now for one of these experiences. Or more than one. Or all of them. (Why limit yourself?)

Contact your Exclusive Ambassador or email me at exclusiveevents@exclusiveresorts.com.

I hope to see you courtside, in the tasting room, next to the runway, or wherever our events take you in 2014.

Warm regards,

Andy IrvineDirector, Events & Family Activities
