RICARDO DIAZ

CAROLYN DOWELL

Past President of the club has rejoined the team. He can be found out on the courts having a great time, now in his retirement from his career with the E. Wenatchee Water District.

STEWART CUSICK

I grew up at the club and have lived next door for years.  My passion is playing that "yellow ball" game and have enjoyed being part of the club as a Board member.

Ricardo has dedicated his entire career to the fruit industry. He is an agricultural engineer with a Master of Science in Horticulture, a Master of Arts in Agribusiness, both from Washington State University. He has more than 20 years of experience in the global fresh produce industry, helping to bring innovative, technology-based products to fruit growers around the world.
He moved to Wenatchee with his wife, Carolina, and children Bruno, Martin, and Laura, in 2019. Having access to the WRAC was a plus when choosing Wenatchee as their new home. Everyone in the family plays tennis. You can easily recognize them for their crazy (clay court) top spin and shouting “Vamos” after winning difficult points.

DICK LESTER

My wife, Darillyn, and I have lived in Wenatchee since 1987 raising four children.  We have been members and enthusiastic supports of the WRAC for over twenty years.  I retired from Wenatchee School District in 2019 after thirty-two years of service with my last nineteen years as superintendent.  I am excited about the opportunity to service on the WRAC Board.  I believe the WRAC has a unique service model in our valley as an athletic club by providing racquet sports, fitness programs and swimming opportunities.  I am committed to continuing the excellent programs, family atmosphere, great staff and increasing membership, programs and facility improvements moving forward. ​

I have been a member of the WRAC since 1991. My wife, Ellen, and I have always been active participants at the club with tennis, fitness and yoga being our areas of interest. Our two sons enjoyed the facilities and activities at the club as they grew up. Retired now from an airline career I'm looking forward to seeing the WRAC grow and continue the full service and family friendly atmosphere that was important to us.

CINDY LORRAIN

BRYAN NOYD

RANI SAMPSON

After a over 35 year career as the Hydro-Wireman Foreman at Rocky Reach Dam, Cindy retired in 2015. She joined her husband Lance's, and now their shared, passion for the game of tennis and you'll now find her on the court or in fitness classes most days of the week when she is not riding bikes, paddle boarding, playing with grandkids.

---

Bryan and his family have been active members for many years using most all facilities at one time or any other.  Bryan has served a couple of terms on the Board and is back for one more round.  You'll find him pounding away in the weight room or "pounding" on his opponent on the tennis court.  

---

The 2012 Fitness Challenge introduced me to the WRAC.  Exercise is much more enjoyable with goals in mind and friends alongside. I am a fitness and racquetball member, and you'll usually see me in group classes, especially yoga. I also make good use of the weight and cardio center to prepare for the rigors of teaching skiing at Mission Ridge. The WRAC is a welcoming community of people who enjoy physical activity. Join us!
