"The best part of my job is the sense of comradery among the staff and the appreciation we feel from our Members," says Carroll. "This year brought all of us new and unique challenges. The bond among our teams and the support and understanding of our Members allowed us to adapt our operations and continue to offer the best possible experience under the circumstances."
