III.GENERAL MANAGER’S REPORT
On May 29, 2013 Mr. Joyce of Forbes Financial Services met with Mr. Sharick, Rich Borza, and Vince Daversa to discuss Wildwood’s Health care renewal. Mr. Joyce was able to negotiate a 6.4% rate increase for the coming year with our provider UPMC Health Systems. They are extending the renewal date from July 1, 2014 to January 1, 2015. Given the state of the healthcare environment and the upcoming changes from ObamaCare, the Board expressed this as a good outcome.
Wildwood currently has 3 open Monday’s through the balance of the summer season. Bernie Hough and Vince Daversa suggested a Member/Client Appreciation Day, July 15, 2013, one of the open Mondays allowing members to bring as many guests as they like. Mr. Daversa will also be moving forward with a Uniformed / Emergency personnel outing on August 5, 2013 and will be contacting area Armed Forces, Recruiters, Police departments and other Emergency Response Personnel.
