ROOM RESERVATION INFORMATION – 2021

The Board approved altering the dates for room reservations for the 2021 summer season. We will be using the following timeline for room reservations this year.

March 1     Room Reservation info and request forms placed on the website.

March 22   First day for members to mail room requests. Any requests postmarked before March 22 will be held until all requests mailed at the proper time are handled.

March 29   First day members to mail requests for nonmember family and guests.

April 26       Bills e-mailed to the address on the form.

May 21         Full room payment is due. Rooms will NOT be held without complete payment.

Experts expect that Covid-19 will continue to be a problem through much of the summer. At this time, our rules concerning masks and distancing remain the same. As more information is disseminated and the Governor issues additional orders, the Covid Committee will evaluate our operation, make necessary changes, and we will notify the membership.

The Board has approved a change to the Refund Policy for 2021. For this year only, a full refund will be made as long as a room is cancelled at least 3 weeks prior to move-in. If a room is cancelled within the 3-week time frame and the room is re-rented, a full refund will be provided. If there is an emergency that requires a member to cancel within 3 weeks, they can appeal to the Board for a refund.

Many of our members who are health care workers, front line workers, or over 65 will be getting vaccinated soon, if they have not already started. Many are under the assumption that after they are vaccinated, they will no longer need to wear masks or socially distance. Please read this ARTICLE on the need for care after vaccination.

NEWS ~ JANUARY 17, 2021

2021 DUES: Dues for the current year were due on January 15. If you have not paid your dues, please do so immediately. Dues can be paid on the hanoverseaside.club website (log in and click on Statements), by calling the Club office with your credit card number, or by mailing a check to PO Box 434, Wrightsville Beach, NC 28480. The office is open daily from 10:00am – 2:00pm to assist you with paying dues, registering for the website, or answering other questions. You MAY NOT pay dues on the old website, hanoverseaside.com. All financial information is on the new site. Please do NOT respond to this e-mail with questions about dues – call the Club office!

FIRST FLOOR WINTERIZING: Since we have not had nights with temperatures below freezing, the first floor remains open. The forecast for the remainder of January shows no nights below freezing, so our expectation is that we will not have to winterize until early February. We will let you know if that changes.

OFFICE HOURS: The office is open daily from 10-2. The main floor is unlocked when the office is open, so restrooms are available. During hours when the office is closed, the main floor will be locked. Remember, the Club is closed through at least the end of February. We are not renting rooms, serving meals, hosting events, etc. However, the first floor will remain open as long as the weather cooperates. Information on when the Club will reopen will be provided in late February.

605 UPDATE: The rental duplex at 605 S. Lumina is progressing on schedule and within budget. The outside has not changed significantly; therefore, we have not posted pictures. On the inside, sheetrock is going up and things are a mess! As soon as we can get good pictures, we will post them. The decor committee, along with the 605 Executive Committee, has chosen inside and outside paint colors, flooring, counter tops, cabinets, fixtures, and furniture. We will be ready to rent the property this summer, so if you know anyone interested in oceanfront rentals at Wrightsville Beach, be sure to let them know. We will provide more rental information as the construction progresses. The units each sleep 12 with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. There is an elevator to the top floor.

ROOM RENTAL INFORMATION: Information concerning rental of rooms for the Spring and Summer seasons will be posted in about a week.

BOARD MEETING: The Board will meet on January 21 at 6:00pm via BlueJeans. With cases of Covid continuing to climb, all Board and Committee meetings are held virtually. If you would like to address the Board, contact President, Jan Sheppard, for more information.
