The club provides a meeting place to stimulate friendship and the exchange of ideas among lovers of science, art, engineering and literature. 

Our focus is anticipating the needs of our members and their guests by offering a consistent level of discreet and attentive service in a warm and friendly environment, and we provide the highest quality facilities and products to our diverse membership. 

We believe in a safe and conservation-minded work environment that promotes mutual respect, open communication and fairness. Athenaeum team members are motivated to develop and succeed through ongoing training programs. 

Our aim is to preserve the financial integrity of the club, increasing membership participation by offering outstanding contemporary services in a traditional setting.
