Dedman was to create private clubs where everyone is welcome, regardless of age, race, religion, or background. He died in 2002, but his legacy lives on in our ClubLife family of clubs and many of his philosophies are practiced to this day. We proudly continue the tradition of welcoming new Members from all walks of life.
