also too high to continue. We operated the FH food truck like any of our other outlets with speedy high-quality service. Traditionally, Food Trucks are operated with minimal labor and often with long waits as a single cook prepares the food. This would not be an option for us or reflect our service culture. All areas of F&B are subsidized to some degree, but this was a heavily subsidized area with diminishing sales. Event Highlights Taste of Forest Highlands Food and Wine Festival -02023 530 Attendees Wine Sales $297,000 Another great event with exceptional feedback and record attendance numbers. We will continue this event while updating and enhancing the layout and décor. Last year, some members complained that the quality of the wines being tasted has dissipated over the years. This has been resolved by adding an event in the Fall that is wine club exclusive and features just high end or old- world wines. There are still great selections at the Taste but we have a new event for the most discerning of our wine club members.

The holiday BBQs went very well again this year with few issues. We did encounter seating concerns regarding our shaded tent seating area. Some members were arriving early and reserving tables before others came at the designated 3 pm reservation time. On Labor Day, we charged members a nominmal fee to reserve these tables and had no issues. We did hear some members say that it seems like the richer members are the only ones able to buy the tables. Umbrellas can be hit or miss depending upon the weather. They were in high demand for 4 th of July but not as necessary at Labor Day. Seating has creeped further down the driving range as we have added activities and more food stations. We need to acclimate staff to better service this area or add a service station tent.
Last years complaint on food being prepared plated and cold was rectified with burger stations and returning to self serve at most stations. We had some longer lines but food was better received.
