It was great to see the energy from those who participated in our meeting on February 2nd.
The ratings and comments you provided in the recent survey gave us a wonderful base for this meeting.
Our virtual brainstorming session consisted of six different breakout rooms – each focused on an area of our Strategic Priorities.
Impact
Experience
Include
Engage
Transform
Innovate
Our facilitators and scribes captured the discussions and will provide their summaries to me in the coming days.
Next Steps:
The facilitators/scribes will share highlights as a team, then I will take our suggestions for action to the Club board.
At our weekly meeting on Tuesday,March 9th I will discuss the action items with you – our Club members.
So please mark your calendar to attend!
I can’t thank everyone enough for the time and expertise they put into this process. It is important for the future of our Club that we continue this forward motion.
Connor Jarvis will be our host and below is his Manhattan ingredient list with snack suggestions.
Don't drink Manhattan's? That's okay... have your favorite beverage on hand and come to enjoy a little social time!
Connor’s “go-to” Manhattan ingredient list:
Bourbon or Rye Whiskey
A non-wheated or more “rye” forward Bourbon is preferred (i.e. not Weller, Larceny, etc.)
Connor likes high-quality, low-mid to mid-priced labels that are readily available / easy to find for my Manhattans (such as, Four Roses Yellow Label, Elijah Craig, Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek (Bourbon), Evan Williams Single Barrel, Templeton Rye) – I save the Buffalo Trace, Weller, Eagle Rare, Henry McKenna, etc. for sipping, not mixing
Sweet Vermouth
Connor’s pick: Carpano Antica Formula or Carpano Punt e Mes
Bitters
Angostura Aromatic bitters are my classic, but feel free to get creative here to add some expression to the cocktail (for example, I used cranberry bitters around the holidays)
Cherries
Please, please, please don’t just use a “run-of-the-mill” maraschino cherry – this isn’t a Shirley Temple
Connor’s pick: Luxardo Brand , Fabbri Amarena, or Bada Bing
Wayne Homes didn’t invent custom, on-your-lot homebuilding. But for nearly 50 years, we’ve been working hard to reinvent it. To make it more customer-oriented. More affordable. And even more flexible, with practically unlimited customizable choices. In other words, to make it more do-able for more people.
That’s our mission. And we’re happy to say we’ve made some great strides. Our customer satisfaction rating is among the best in the industry, and we’re one of a handful of builders in the entire country to win the National Housing Quality award.
