AWCC EBLAST!!! Apache Wells Country Club, Inc. 

February 13, 2008

The AWCC Board of Directors has begun a more aggressive position of sending factual information out to our members in the form of “e-blasts.” Hopefully, these will be sent on a weekly basis in between the monthly newsletters in order to provide more timely and accurate information. This will be an email only communication. If you cannot open an attachment, or do not receive email, then contact a fellow member who can, and receive that information from them. Please keep the Executive Office advised of changes regarding your address, email, phone, etc. lrsmith@awcc.phxcoxmail.com


RESTAURANT: Over this past weekend, an agreement between the Country Club and Eli Chawki, Desert Peaks @ Apache Wells, our restaurant lessee, signed an addendum to the Agreement between AWCC and Desert Peaks to continue operation of the restaurant until demolition of the clubhouse building. Mr. Chawki’s contract was to end the 28th of February, leaving us without service for the remainder of the spring and summer. Restaurant hours, continued service, bar hours, etc. were agreed to in the new contract. The new restaurant hours are listed below:
