ANNUAL MEETING SUMMARY: The Annual Meeting of Regular Members was held in the parking lot on Saturday, October 24 at 2:00pm. Thanks to all members who attended. We believe this was a record setting meeting – over in less than one hour. There was nothing controversial on the agenda, so the meeting moved quickly. A special thank you to all of the volunteers for this meeting: Francie Godwin, Laurie Hutchens, Lee Lambert, Robert McIver, Steve Jeremias, Michael Gieschen, Brad Walls, Betty Jean Lanier, Helen Marie Romeo, Bob Morton, Anna Hughes, Brian Moore, and the 2019-2020 Board.

The membership approved the following changes to the Constitution:

1. Article II, Section V – … if the person elected to fill the unexpired term shall have served less than one half (1/2) of said unexpired term, then that person shall not be limited by the provisions of Article I, Section 3 and may be elected to a full three year term immediately after the expiration of said unexpired term. If elected to a new three-year term, then thereafter all the provisions of Article I, Section 3 would apply to that person. …
2. Article IV, Section 2- In the event of a State of Emergency, Governor’s Executive Order, or Force Majeure the meeting may be postponed or held in an alternate manner as determined by the Board.
3. Article V, Section 3 – When Constitutional limits allow addition of members, preference will be given to children of current members.

The revised Constitution will be placed in the Quick Links Section of the website within the week.

The following Board Members were elected to one-year terms:

President – Jan Sheppard

Vice President – Elise Beall

Secretary/Treasurer – Brett Riggs

Cher Pridgen and Jake Wessell were elected to three-year terms on the Board of Directors.

The membership approved the Budget for the 2020-21 year. The budget will be placed on the website in the near future.

CLUB WEBSITE: Many of our members have not registered for our new website at www.hanoverseaside.club. This is a very robust site which will make your member experience so much better. You can click HERE to find instructions for registering. The primary member must register first, you must use a 7 digit member number, and names must be EXACTLY the way they are listed in our data base. Please read the instructions carefully. Call the office if you have problems registering.

605 S. LUMINA:  Work continues on the duplex at 605 S. Lumina. While we are a few days behind schedule, we feel that the project will be completed on time and on budget. The timeline states that we will be ready to rent the duplex on July 1; however, we hope to have it ready a little earlier. A committee has been appointed to help pick out fixtures, colors, furniture etc. We will continue to show pictures as we proceed.

FISCAL YEAR/BILLING: Our fiscal year ends on Saturday. If you have not done so, please check to make sure you do not have a balance due on your account. You may pay your balance online at www.hanoverseaside.club by logging in and clicking on STATEMENTS or by calling the Club office. As soon as the fiscal year has been closed out, we will be mailing bills for the member year that begins on November 1. Again, you can pay online, by calling the front desk, or by mailing a check to the PO Box. If your address has changed, call the office ASAP to give them your current mailing address.

2020-21 STANDING COMMITTEES: Within the next couple of weeks, the Board will be appointing members to serve on Standing Committees. Both Regular and Seasonal Members are encouraged to serve on committees. To volunteer, please call the Club Office and give your name and the preferred committee. The Committees along with their duties are listed HERE.

UPCOMING MENUS: For the month of November, dinner will be served on Friday evenings and lunch will be served on Sundays. There will be no Tuesday evening dinner. All meals must be paid for when you go through the serving line. Since bills have not been sent, dining room minimums are not available for use. We will not place meals on your account, so be prepared to pay by cash, check, or credit card! As always, you may order dine in or take out.

SURFBOARD SHELVES/STORAGE: The storage shed on the North side of the building contains shelves that are rented for surfboards. All surfboards MUST be kept on the assigned shelves – not lying on the ground or leaned against the wall. And, no other items, such as chairs, rafts, tubes, or toys are allowed in this unit. Presently, the storage unit is a mess! Everything but surfboards must be removed immediately, and surfboards must be placed on the properly rented shelf. If you have rented a shelf and your Board is too long to fit, please remove the Board from the locker. We do not have lockers longer than the shelves, so we cannot accommodate boards that will not fit. All boards not appropriately stored and other items in the storage locker will be disposed of on December 1.

Please call the Club office if you are available to volunteer to help in the parking lot for the meeting.

PARKING LOT RENTAL: The Waynick Blvd half of our parking lot is being rented to film a movie on Friday, October 23. The Lumina end of the lot and the gravel lot will be available for member use.

SAILBOATS/KAYAKS: All sailboats and kayaks stored at the sound should be placed on the rack upside down. If they are placed right side up, water accumulates which is a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Please make sure your boat is stored correctly. If you live out of town and pay for sailboat/kayak storage, please call a friend or family member to check your boats.

LOVE AND PRAYERS: We were sad to learn that two members passed away in the past few weeks. Our love and prayers to the friends and family of:

Carolyn Bancroft and Bob Eakins

ANNUAL MEETING OF REGULAR MEMBERS: The latest Governor’s Executive Order continues to limit inside gatherings to 25; therefore, the Annual Meeting will be held in the parking lot – just like the August Special Called Meeting. The main parking lot will be closed on Saturday, October 24 from 12:00 – 4:00. Regular Members should have received their information for the meeting. If not, call the Club office. We are still in need of volunteers to help us check in members, count votes in the parking lot, and count secret ballot votes, Call the Club office if you can help us that day!

LOCKERS: Today is the deadline for cleaning out the small, square lockers in the snack bar area. Tomorrow, staff will start cutting locks and disposing of contents of lockers. We will start our painting project in the next few days.

605 S. LUMINA PROGRESS: If you have been to the Club lately, you have probably noticed that construction is underway on the duplex at 605. The pilings have been set and framing has begun. We are on schedule to complete the building and have renters in place around July 1. Anyone who has built a house knows how much goes into the construction end – choosing everything from flooring, to counter tops, to plumbing fixtures, and wall colors, etc. Add to that starting from scratch to purchase appliances, furniture, decor, kitchen essentials, and everything a renter will want. As you can tell, it’ a daunting task. Thankfully, we have help. Jan Sheppard, Armistead Boyd, and Ernie Alexander are coordinating with the builder and keeping construction on track. A subcommittee composed of Elise Beall, Nancy Noel May, Kim Edwards and Megan Beall are working with Jan, Armistead and Ernie to make decisions on interior/exterior colors, roof color, floor covering, furniture, etc. John Gray, owner of Custom Home Furnishings and Niche Decor and Gifts and HSC member, has volunteered his designers to help us. We are all excited about this project and look forward to watching it take shape. I will try to post pictures about once a month so that you can see what’s happening!

COVID UPDATE: Yesterday Governor Cooper announced that we will be moving to Phase 3 on Friday. At first glance it doesn’t appear that this move will change things for us at the Club. The Covid Committee will be meeting Sunday night. If there are any changes, we will let you know. We have been very lucky that we have been able to remain open thus far with no exposures. Please remain vigilant – wear your masks INSIDE AND OUTSIDE from Lumina Avenue to the beach strand, remain 6 feet apart, and wash your hands often.

ROOM AVAILABILITY: We still have rooms available for the fall. We are very flexible on move-in and out dates. You must reserve at least a two-night stay, otherwise we can work around your schedule if rooms are available. Call the Club Office for questions on reservations!
