May 2011

Ithink the weather is finally going to turn!!!I am very excited about the coming

season at Chartwell. Tad and his staff have

spent a lot of time, and continue to do so,

on planning quality activities and events for

all members of the family.

From the 50th Anniversary activities to

new, creative events to the tried and true

we are hopeful that we will give you and

your family plenty of reason to spend more time at Chartwell.

Communicating these activities to the 700 families that make up

Chartwell is both important and challenging. Aside from the Chartwell

Planner look to find out what is going on through email blasts,

the Chartwell website and the weekly message…if you do not

get regular emails from Chartwell please call the main office to

confirm your email address.

The Strategic Planning process is well under way with the

enterprise groups (golf, clubhouse, greens, tennis and pool)

reporting into Mark Brugnoli (Chair – Strategic Planning) and

his committee and the operating committees (membership,

social, finance) providing support and input. As most of you

are aware a very detailed strategic plan was developed in 2007

and 2008 by the BOD only to be shelved because of the economy and

mother nature. With the economy starting to gain traction we are

updating the strategic plan. We hope to have strategic planning reports

done by the end of April and then the BOD will make some decisions

on what can be added/changed. The summer will be spent budgeting

the various items and also coming up with a viable financial plan to

turn the strategic plan into a reality. Our plan is to have the strategic

plan, budgets/costing and financial options done by early Fall.

2 CHARTWELL COUNTRY CLUB

C hartwell Season is fast approaching! Along with the Club operating on all

cylinders, we also have the excitement of the Club’s 50th Anniversary. While the

past New Year’s Eve Gala officially welcomed the Club’s 50th year, celebrations kick

off this month. On May 30th, exactly 50 years to the day, we will celebrate Chartwell’s

grand opening. Memorial Day 1961 ushered in “AA’s New County Club.” (See a copy

of the announcement on pages 4–5.) Al Merritt, the Club and community developer

hit the first ball down #1 while his son, Mel ran after it! It was memorable day that

launched this prestigious club.

Please join your fellow members in remembering, celebrating and toasting Chartwell

Memorial Day weekend. On Friday evening a Club wide cocktail party will be set in

the 1960’s with a “Hamlin’s” style piano bar, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. Please

make reservations for both the party and dining reservations. The party will be

preceded by a tennis exhibition featuring current and past Club Pros.

Memorial Day will host a reenactment of the Club’s Opening Day 50 years ago,

followed by a reception in the bar and an 18 Hole Mixer. Of course the pool and

family barbecue will be open through the day, too.

It is an exciting time to be part of Chartwell. The staff and I look forward to seeing

you often through the Chartwell Season. And thank you for letting us be part of this

wonderful club. Let me acknowledge the corps of leaders and volunteers helping to

make this year as memorable as Year One, particularly Hayes and Molly Merkert,

Chairmen of the 50th Anniversary, their committee, including Tom McCann and the

Historical Committee. Tom specifically continues to champion the gathering and

documentation of the Club’s archives. No easy task! We are still accepting classic

photos and memorabilia. If you wish to retain these items, we would be happy to

scan what you have and return them to you.

Happy Golden Anniversary, Chartwell.

From The President

continued from front cover

The club continues to run ahead of budget despite rising

costs for food, utilities and other commodities. Membership

also continues to be strong and with that dues income. On

April 8th the Membership Committee hosted an Open House

for prospective members. The turnout was the best we have

had in a few years and the BOD along with the membership

committee is confident that we are going to be able to grow

membership during the year. This is the first year in a while

that we have felt we were not on the fence about which way

the membership numbers would go. Thanks to Tim Connolly

and his committee for their work and effort that they have

put in.

In January, the BOD had a planning session to go over

priorities for the year. One of the items that we discussed is

service on a member owned board versus a corporate

board. The biggest difference in terms of governance is

with transparency. As a board member of a member

owned entity transparency is not only vital but expected. I

am comfortable to say that the line can be drawn with

human resource issues and conceptual items. Club finances,

business relationships and any type of planning are always

an open book and the BOD fully understands their

obligations. I encourage anyone to contact the BOD or

Tad if they have any questions about any aspect of the

club. As always, you can reach me directly by email

[email protected] or by cell at 240-882 2459. I

look forward to seeing you at the club enjoying your day.

See you at Chartwell.

4 CHARTWELL COUNTRY CLUB

It all began with one swing of a

persimmon driver. Al Merritt

had the honors that opening

day in 1961. There was a

cutting. Then with head pro

Steve Tobash and Bill Dixon,

who’d done the legal work,

awaiting their turn, the

developer and founder of

Chartwell Golf and Country club

hit the first ball. It was a little bit

of a slice that started out down

the left side. Al’s ten year old son

Mel ran down the fairway to

retrieve it. Mr. Merritt signed the

ball and Mel has it to this day, with

a little smudge of ink still visible.

He also recalls that he didn’t have

that far to run to shag the ball. His

dad didn’t hit much of a drive but

just being able to stand on the tee

box that day was accomplishment

enough.

The golf course had been carved out of raw briar choked

woods. The land had been an active farm up until the

1930’s but was abandoned after a prohibition era still

blew up and burned the main house to the ground. When

construction on the club

started only a foundation remained up on top of the hill.

The remains of a barn had to be removed to make room

for the 18th green. There were no tennis courts and the

pool wouldn’t open up for another year. A simple pro

shop stood where the grill room is now the bar was at the

ballroom end of the building.

BOARD ROOM NEWSFINANCE

With five months of the fiscal year under our belt, the

bottom line reflects a profit of $87,472, $7,000 ahead of

projections. Dues income continues to be better than

expected attributable to consistent membership numbers.

Departmental expenses and utilities are being well

controlled and are $28,000 better than budget for the year to

date. The Food and Beverage department is behind targets

due to a sluggish winter in the banquet area. However,

strong bookings for the spring and summer should help to

alleviate the revenue shortfall.

CLUBHOUSE

• An expanded and improved patio continues to be a

focus of the committee as it works on design, serv-

ice logistics and costs.

MEMBERSHIP

• Welcome to the Club’s newest members:

Joan Clarke (Social)

Stephen & Christine Halligan ( Tennis)

Edward & Deborah Cook (Tennis)

• The recent Open House for prospective members

was very successful as the Board, Membership

Committee and Staff met twenty-two potential

member families. Chairman Tim Connolly and the

Committee is very busy interviewing and promoting

the Club. It is important that all members recognize

and recommend prospective future members.

• A reminder of the current Membership are:

° Social & Tennis membership applicants can

spread their initiation payments ($3,500 and

$5,000, respectively) over 3-years ($1,166.67 and

$1,666.67 per year). Golf membership applicants

can spread their initiation payments over

5-years ($5,000).

° Legacy membership applicants, (immediate

family of past or current members in good

standing), membership dues and capital fee will

be reduced to $300 per month until January

2012. Initiation fee can still be spread out over

10-years ($2,500 per year).

TENNIS / POOL

• The Pool officially opens Saturday, May 28 with

Memorial Day bbq and activities on Monday, May

Anniversary event on Friday, May 27 with a tennis

mixed doubles exhibition with Jamie, Adam, Kathy,

and Terry Gaskill, former pro at Chartwell. A Club-

wide classic cocktail party reminiscent of the old

“Hamlin’s” will follow.

• Planning and fundraising for the Chartwell Classic is

underway. The event has been streamlined as a

men’s only event. Last year this mid-Atlantic

recognized event brought world ranked tennis

players with a purse over $30,000. It is scheduled

for August 9–14.

• Team Tennis sign ups start in May.

• The bubble is scheduled to be taken down May 3

golf event, staff has been assigned as point people

for each group: Matt Johnson – All men’s

tournaments and events; Carl Jones – All women’s

tournaments and events; and, Chris McBee – Juniors

Tips From Maintenance

Ceiling Fan Direction Spring / Summer

The basic fact of nature is that warm air rises to

the top and cold air settles on the bottom. Air

settles in layers from warm at the top to cold at

the bottom, if left alone at equilibrium. You

should operate your fan so that it turns clockwise (this looks

counterclockwise as you are looking up), causing a more directed

downdraft, especially with the fan running slightly faster. However,

the air is only moved, not cooled! You may find that you can open the

window and get the cool evening air to save money on energy costs.

Change Refrigerator Water Filter

Filters that don't efficiently remove contaminants and impurities may

expose you to harmful water.

Follow water filter instructions, as all water filters are different

depending on model.

Change the filter every 3–6 months depending on water condition

and usage.

Clean Dryer Exhaust

Lint in your dryer exhaust is a fire hazard; clean the exhaust

annually.

Loosen the clamp and pull the exhaust off the back of the dryer.

Remove clumps of lint from the tubing and the hole in the back of the

dryer, vacuum all the small lint then reattach exhaust.

Also even though you cannot see it use hot soapy water and scrub

the dryer filter it has an invisible film that you cannot see from the

soap residues that restrict proper air flow. You can check this by

putting water on the filter and see if it goes through the mesh if it

does you are ready to go!

If you ever need any advice on maintenance issues you can email me

at [email protected]

I look forward to seeing you at the club!

New Faces

Executive Chef Chad Stein

The search for Chartwell’s next “top

chef” has finally concluded with the

recent hiring of Chad Stein. After

looking across the country and

interviewing a very impressive slate

of the best candidates, we found

Chad in our own back yard. Chad will

begin his culinary leadership in mid-

May.

Executive Chef Chad Stein was raised in Owings Mills where

he attended Jemicy School and graduated from Boys Latin.

Chad’s love of cooking began as a youngster when he helped

his mother prepare for cooking classes that she taught in

their home.

Chef Chad’s formal culinary training began at the University

of Delaware, where he graduated with honors from the

school of Restaurant and Hotel Management. After working

on the Spirit of Alaska for a year as a cook, Chad graduated

from the Baltimore International College of Culinary Arts

where he achieved the Presidential List of Merit

His outstanding culinary skills, teaching and management

abilities and passion for cooking were further honed during

his 5 year affiliation at the 5 Star, 5 Diamond Broadmoor

Hotel in Colorado Springs and the Ritz Carlton in Washington

D.C. After moving back to the east coast, he continued his

career by entering the Country Club industry. Chef Chad was

the Executive Sous Chef at the prestigious Belle Haven

Country Club in Alexandria, Virginia where he helped debut

the impressive new clubhouse. Most recently he was the

Executive Chef of Chestnut Ridge Country Club for the last

four years.

Chad is known for his upscale a la cart dining, attention to

taste and details and his exceptional presentations which

often include edible garnishes. Many times his dishes are

inspired from his time spent traveling and cooking in Alaska,

Australia, Singapore and Colorado. No request is too difficult

for Chef Chad.

Chad and his wife Monica live in Timonium with their 4 year

old son Ryan and 1 year old son Dylan.

"reduced danger" signal is given. The "reduced

danger" signal is three short blasts two seconds

apart.

Please refer to the 2011 Chartwell Membership Roster for

complete pool rules. Some specific rules to highlight:

3.2. Children under the age of 8 must have adult supervision with

adult supervision defined as someone at least 12 years old.

3.2.1 Parents and/or guardians of children between the ages of 8

and 12 must annually provide the Pool Manager with

emergency phone numbers and other pertinent information

as well as the phone number and location of their legal or

designated guardian who would be immediately available to

respond to an emergency or discipline situation. The

intention of this rule is to accommodate parents on club

property, in their homes or in the immediate vicinity of the

club. It is not intended that parents at work, shopping or

other activities, which would preclude an immediate

response, allow their children at the pool without adult

supervision.

4.2 All children under 12, including guests must report to the

head guard on duty and pass a deep-water test before being

permitted unrestricted use of the large pool. Member

children must pass this test annually.

There are three (3) versions of the swim test.

(1) For 8-12 year olds, unsupervised in pool

area, children must be able to swim the two

full lengths of the pool with viable swim

stroke and tread water for 90- seconds.

(2) For Deep Water and diving board access,

children must be able to swim the full length

of the pool and tread water for 60-seconds.

(3) For Shallow Water access without parental

or adult within arm length, children must be

able to swim the width of the pool.

Please note that at any time, based on the guards’

discretion, a child may be requested to perform a swim test

again, even if that child has passed it before. This is solely

to protect fatigued swimmers.
