President's Letter
Dear Sun Valley Community: December 15, 2025​​
​
As winter settles in, the Board is already preparing for the 2026 season. Thank you for a wonderful 2025 summer. Your energy on the pool deck, on the tennis courts, and at our community events continues to make Sun Valley a very special place for families and friends to gather.
​
This past year brought many important upgrades across the club, and I wanted to highlight a few of the major ones. We replaced one of our heat pumps and completed a significant update to the pool filtration system. These projects ensure that our essential systems are operating reliably.
​
This spring we plan to replace the last old pool heater and the pool safety cover. The Board is also forming a long range planning subcommittee that will look at future facility needs and will help guide the club's priorities for special projects over the next few years.
​
Looking ahead, it is unsurprising that Sun Valley continues to experience higher costs for staffing, utilities, and routine maintenance. To keep the club running safely and sustainably, the Board has approved a 2.5 percent membership rate increase for the 2026 season. We approached this decision with care and worked to keep the adjustment as modest as possible. We know families are feeling higher prices everywhere, and that reality guided our discussions.
For your planning, 2026 Membership Dues are listed below. Payments open on January 1 and we will send out an email at that time with renewal instructions.
​
I also want to share an important staffing update. After many years of dedicated service to the club, our General Manager Laura Conti will be moving on from her role. Laura has been a steady and welcoming presence at Sun Valley, and we are deeply grateful for everything she has done for the community. The Board has begun the search for our next General Manager, and referrals from the community are welcome. Here is a link to the job description.
​
Thank you for your continued support and for the spirit you bring to Sun Valley each season. I look forward to welcoming everyone in the spring for another great summer together!
Warmly,
Rebecca Slotkin
President, Sun Valley Board of Directors
