SPECIAL INTEREST

96 Years Young

Valley Member, Dollie Fletcher, recently

celebrated her 96th birthday. She is Valley's
eldest Member and on behalf of Valley
Country Club, happy, happy birthday, Dollie!

"I have been a friend of Dollie’s for over 25

years. We were neighbors and also Valley
Members. She always says that one of the
best decisions she ever made was to join
Valley. She still has a zest for life and loves
going out with friends where she enjoys a
“toot” before dinner. She is always ready to
go “up the hill” (code for the casinos).

"If you ever get a chance, ask her about her

experience during WWll when she was a
secretary in Washington DC. She has lots
of stories to share.

"Happy Birthday ‘Doll.’"

~ Barb Gibb

"Dollie is a happy friend, full of joy and

fun, loves good food and a good Scotch
and loves to play bridge and travel—
especially to the casinos. She loves to share
stories, and I hope I’m as sharp as she is
when I’m 96 years young."
~ Jean Myatt

“We love Dollie’s downhome sense of

humor and positive attitude.”
~ Richard and Betsy Fieman

WGA
At the Helm
WITH 2018 BEHIND US, WE TAKE A PEEK AT WHAT
THE NEW YEAR HAS IN STORE FOR THE WGA
Carol Kishiyama is steering women's golf at
Valley toward a more interactive and inclusive
Women's Golf Association program. We
connected with the newly-elected WGA Chair
to discuss her vision for the 2019 WGA season.
What do you hope to accomplish for the
2019 WGA season?
It is my desire to repeat and continue another
successful season of golf centered around fun
and congeniality for the women who play
golf at Valley Country Club. I like to think of
the VCC WGA as a well-oiled machine that
continues to run because of its amazing and
talented Membership.
What changes, if any, do you foresee?
Rather than change, I see growth and refinement
of some of our latest projects such as the newly
established WGA Friendship Fund, which
6 VALLEY VOICE JANUARY 2019
is the name of our donation and community
outreach program. This fund was established
by the generous donations of the Ed and
Bette Arnold family, and it is now self-funded
through the WGA Osa Allen Day of Play held
annually during the WGA season. Of note were
the golf scholarships the fund awarded to two
young women last year. It is also my hope that
we will see increased play and participation by
both women who work outside of their homes
and those working in their homes caring for
their families. We hope to do this by creating
greater flexibility in availability of play as well
as improved networking.
Are there any events you’re particularly
excited about? Why?
The WGA will be hosting a two-day Ladies'
Invitational in July which will be open to all
9- and 18-hole players. We hope it will be a
premier event that will showcase our Club and
course. Plans are currently in the making.
Is there anything you’d like to convey to
Valley Members regarding the WGA this
year?
I and the rest of the Board of Directors wish
to sincerely extend an invitation to all the
women at VCC who have an interest in and
enjoy the game of golf regardless of their level
of play or ability as the WGA offers something
for everyone. There are lessons and casual
golf for beginners and novices, social events
and opportunities to play other courses
and tournaments that allow players to be as
competitive as as they wish. Mostly, there is a
lot of enjoyment.
I wish to also address the upcoming changes
being made to tee time play and availability. As
the demographics of our membership grow, it
is evident that we are a family-oriented Club
whose membership requires that we consider
multiple and varying needs. There are those
of our men who play, our women who play,
couples who play and juniors who play.
Even though it may require some compromise,
I advocate a system that equally and fairly
addresses all the players at VCC and that allows

YOUTH
A Lasting
Impression
THE UNASSUMING TEAM-BUILDING EXERCISE
THAT INSPIRED A VALLEY TRADITION OF KINDNESS
IN THE COMMUNITY
Valley's Director of Programming, Chris
Huston, recounts a seemingly mundane
event that ended up making an indelible
impact on him. Not only did it bring
him closer to his immediate team, but
it sparked an idea that would become a
Valley tradition of love.
In February of 2014 I was in college at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
where I was very involved in an organization
called the Sport, Tourism and Recreation
Association (STAR). As a bonding activity for
8 VALLEY VOICE JANUARY 2019
our group, the president of STAR put together
an event where we would make Valentine's Day
cards for individuals living in an assisted living
facility. At the time, it seemed a bit remedial.
I thought this was something fourth- and
fifth-graders should be doing, not juniors and
seniors in college. But after attending the event,
I knew I would use this idea for the rest of my
professional career.
It brought our group so much closer together. It
was a simple task, so we had a large turnout—
the biggest for any event I had been a part of
through STAR. The 5:00–8:00 p.m. time frame
was not strict, and members of STAR could
come and go as they pleased. Whether they
made one card or 100, it was a way to bring our
group closer together while doing something
special for a community that needed a little
extra love. The simplest of ideas had provided
an incredible return.
So when I introduced this event to Valley, I was
so excited to bring our teens closer together
while supporting a community right in our own
backyard. It was one of the first teen events I
organized for Valley, and I was excited about
the possibilities. The turnout ended up being
four Valley teens and me. After working on the
project for about an hour and a half, we were
able to make approximately 100 cards. I had
higher hopes, but getting any participation was

great. Since then, we have steadily increased our
attendance as well as the number of cards we
have been able to make each year. This simple
event has continued to grow and is now one
of my favorites at Valley. Next month we'll be
hosting this event for the fourth consecutive
year, and I'm really excited for what we will be
able to do!
Traditionally, we have made this a teen-only
event. However, you don't have to be a teenager
to want to give back or to add a little more love to
the world. So this year, any and all are welcome
to join us on Sunday, February 10, as we will
once again be making Valentine's Day cards for
the Morning Star Assisted Living community at
the corner of Jordan and Arapahoe. Feel free to
stay the entire time or stop by for five minutes
to make a single card. This is an opportunity to
not only grow our Valley community, but also to
help our neighbors. I hope to see you all there
and can't wait to see what this group can do!

Q&A | MATT MAYNE
Onward
FROM WISCONSIN TO ARIZONA TO COLORADO,
VALLEY'S NEW BANQUET MANAGER IS LOOKING
AHEAD AT THE POSSIBILITIES AT VALLEY.
Tell us a little about yourself and your
family.
I’m 42 years old and have been married to my
wife, Ashlee, for five years. Our son, Cameren,
just turned two in November, and we have two
cats named Harley and Peaches. We are living
in Lone Tree right now and building a house in
Castle Rock.
What inspired you to enter into the
banquet industry?
I moved to Arizona for school to become a golf
10 VALLEY VOICE JANUARY 2019
professional. In the process of waiting for that
to happen, I landed in the food and beverage
industry. Fifteen years later, I’m still in the food
and beverage industry and not on tour ... yet!
You recently relocated from Arizona.
What prompted you to pursue your
career in Colorado?
My wife works for U.S. Bank and her job
brought our family to Colorado. We also
have family in Colorado and we love the
mountains, so we are ready for this next step
in our lives.
If you weren’t a banquet manager,
what would you be?
I would probably be a head golf pro somewhere
or a hockey coach.
Where do you garner your inspiration
for event ambiance?
I get my inspiration from all kinds of places
like stores, people’s houses, other events that I
manage or attend and even the seasons.
We have family in
Colorado and we love
the mountains, so we
are ready for this next
step in our lives.
What has surprised you the most
in the service industry?
I’m surprised at how many lifelong friends
I have made over the years and what a small
world the food and beverage industry is.
What might Members be surprised
to know about you?
That I grew up on a dairy farm in a small town
in southwest Wisconsin.
As the banquet manager, what sort of
trends do you see on the horizon?
I’m thinking bold colors, big flower displays,
and great-looking buffets with risers and
matching decor.
What has been the biggest obstacle in your
career? How did you overcome it?
Having to take a year off of work after back
surgery. I worked hard in therapy to walk and
get back to normal again.
What is your life philosophy?
Don’t look backwards ... you are not going
that way!
What do you do when you're not working?
I like being outdoors and doing things like
four-wheeling, snowmobiling, camping and
exploring back roads in my truck. My favorite
thing, though, is just spending time with my
family and being a dad.

Tennis Tips for
the Off-Season
During the off-season, it can
be easy for tennis athletes to get
out of the swing of things (pun

Tennis Professional at Valley,
understands this challenge all
too well. In his career, he has
seen his fair share of players who
lose their edge on the court due
to off-season neglect. In order

throughout the winter to retain

game, play against people who
are above your skill level for a
game that challenges your skills.
Focused workouts. Switching
up your workout in the gym
is great. Switching it up on the
court is not. Terzaghi suggests
picking a specific area of your
game that needs improvement
and focusing on it for at least
three weeks. Studies show that
concentrated practice helps
improve problematic areas.

Breakfast with Santa

The Clubhouse was
buzzing with Christmas
spirit at the annual
Breakfast with Santa.
Children carefully
constructed their letters
to Santa and created
ornaments for the
tree. Parents spent the
morning catching up with
their fellow Members,
and enjoying a festive
brunch with the family.
And kids young and old
shared their holiday list
with Santa as they had
their photo taken with
the jolly man. Valley
Member, Tim Fitzgerald,
had this to say: "Briana
and I both thought that
Breakfast with Santa was
excellent. The food was
fantastic (best buffet
and omelette bar we’ve
had at VCC) and my kids
really enjoyed Santa and
the crafts."

We truly enjoyed hosting

another successful
event this year for
our Members!

Candlelight Dinner
The lights were turned
way down low, and
candlelight filled the
Clubhouse as the holiday
spirit filled the air! Valley
Members enjoyed a
menu created specially
for the event while they
were serenaded by
carolers at this year's
