Dear Quail Creek Residents,
We apologize for the length of this message, but kindly ask you to read through it, as it concerns our community.
Quail Creek is home to 222 hardworking employees who strive daily to make our community a wonderful place to live. Every year, we invite residents to contribute to an Employee Appreciation Fund, offering a chance to express special thanks to these employees. Believe me, receiving a token of gratitude from the residents means the world to each of them.
Residents may ask, “Why should I contribute when I already tip well at the restaurant?” While tipping is generous, many employees don’t receive tips. Here are just a few examples:
• Cooks and dishwashers who prepare and clean up after your meals
• Patrol employees who work around the clock to keep the community safe
• Golf maintenance staff who start as early as 5 a.m. to prepare the course
• Pro Shop personnel who handle 80,000 rounds of golf annually, manage the shop, and marshal the course
• Anza and Canyon Club employees who organize classes, maintain facilities, and care for the pool areas
• Member Services staff who assist guests, sell tickets, and answer questions
• The webmaster who ensures your daily newsletter is up to date and manages the website
• Activities, Banquet, and Events staff who coordinate banquets, concerts, and trips and arrange meeting spaces
• Maintenance personnel who keep our equipment running smoothly
• Administrative staff working behind the scenes to ensure everything operates efficiently
Although our dues cover employee wages, this fund serves as a special thank you. These employees are not highly compensated and face the same higher costs at the gas station, grocery store, and other daily expenses that affect us all.
Your contribution, no matter the amount, is completely confidential. We do not track individual donations; only you will know how much you choose to give. With nearly 6,000 residents, donations range from $10 to over $1,000, and every amount is greatly appreciated.
If you wish to contribute, you can mail a check made out to Quail Creek CC POA. Abbreviations or variations of the name in the check “To” line are not accepted by the bank. Write “QCEAE” or “Employee Appreciation” in the memo line. Checks may be mailed to Quail Creek Country Club, Attn: AF, 904 N. Quail View Loop, Green Valley, AZ 85614. You can also drop off your contribution at one of the marked boxes located at:
• Member Services in the Madera clubhouse
• The Pro Shop
• The Grill Hostess Stand
• Anza
• The Athletic Club check-in desk
• The front desk at the Canyon Club
• The Administration office, 904 N. Quail View Loop
Please note, any contributions received after Dec. 15 will be applied to next year’s fund.
Thank you for your consideration. We wish you all a very happy holiday season.
Warm regards,
Resident POA Board Members: Ralph, Wayne, and Connie
