Dear Fellow Members,

I am honored to be considered for a position on the Winchester Country Club Board of Directors and would appreciate your support in the upcoming election.

I have been a proud member of Winchester Country Club since 2007 and have had the privilege of serving two terms on the Board of Directors, including one year as President and two years as Vice President. My first term began during Landscapes Unlimited’s inaugural year working with our club, providing valuable experience in navigating change while preserving the traditions and values that make Winchester Country Club special.

Throughout my involvement with the club, I have remained committed to several key principles: maintaining the traditions and culture of our club, ensuring fiscal responsibility and long-term financial stability, and fostering a positive, friendly environment where all members feel welcome and valued.

I believe that strong leadership begins with listening. If elected, I will continue to be open and accessible to all members, working to understand and address concerns while collaborating closely with club management to ensure an exceptional membership experience. My goal is to help position Winchester Country Club for continued success, both today and for future generations of members.

Thank you for your consideration and for the opportunity to serve this outstanding club. I would be grateful for your vote and the chance to continue contributing to the future of Winchester Country Club.

Dear Members of the Board Selection Committee,

I am writing to express my strong interest in serving on the Board of Directors at Winchester Country Club. I

believe my professional background, entrepreneurial experience, and unwavering commitment to family values

make me an ideal candidate to help guide the Club's continued success.

My professional foundation was built during five years at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where I specialized in

international tax compliance and advisory services for multinational corporations. This experience provided me

with rigorous training in financial analysis, strategic planning, and regulatory oversight—skills that translate

directly to effective board governance. Working with complex business entities taught me to navigate

challenging decisions while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency.

Since 2019, I have successfully owned and operated Two Dogs & A Saw LLC, a custom cabinetry business that

has allowed me to develop strong relationships throughout our local community. As an entrepreneur, I

understand the importance of balancing fiscal responsibility with long-term vision. I have learned to manage all

aspects of business operations while never compromising on quality or customer satisfaction—principles that

are essential for any successful organization.

What drives my interest in board service, however, goes beyond my professional qualifications. I am passionate

about preserving Winchester Country Club as a vibrant gathering place where families can create lasting

memories together. Having witnessed the positive impact that well-managed community organizations can

have, I am committed to ensuring our Club remains an engaging, welcoming environment that serves multiple

generations of members.

My approach to leadership is rooted in honesty and open communication. I believe that effective board

governance requires directors who ask thoughtful questions, listen carefully to diverse perspectives, and make

decisions based on what is truly best for the membership as a whole. My experience managing client

relationships and delivering results under pressure has taught me the value of collaborative problem-solving and

transparent decision-making.

I am particularly interested in contributing to initiatives that enhance the family-friendly atmosphere of the Club

while maintaining its financial stability and operational excellence. Whether addressing facility improvements,

membership engagement, or long-term strategic planning, I am prepared to bring both analytical rigor and

genuine care for our community to every board discussion.

The Winchester Country Club represents more than just recreational facilities—it serves as a cornerstone of our

community where relationships are built, traditions are maintained, and families grow together. I would be

honored to help steward this important institution and ensure it continues to thrive for future generations.

Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my experience and

dedication can contribute to the Club's continued success.

Sincerely,

Patrick Haas
