4TH OF JULY!

Just a couple more sleeps until our traditional 4th of July Celebration! We are so excited that this year we can have all the activities that members have loved through the years. To see a full schedule of events, look back at the blog posted on June 12. A few reminders . . .

1. Only blue stickers will be allowed in the parking lot until at least 4:00. No guest passes will be sold on July 4. Guests may park after 4:00. If the office is closed, have your guest put a paper with their name, as well as the member name and number on the dash.
2. Since the 4th falls on Sunday this year, there will not be a buffet breakfast. If you would like to come early for a Continental breakfast, be sure to call for reservations by Saturday morning.
3. The Opening Ceremony is starting a little later this year and activities are moved back to hopefully allow members to go to an early church service then come to the Club. Opening ceremonies will begin at 11:00.
4. All members and guests must wear wristbands. If you have not picked up your member wristband, there will be a table set up on the first-floor porch on the Lumina Street side of the building. We will be giving out member and guest wristbands from that location – DO NOT GO TO THE OFFICE! We will set up at 9:00am and remain until most members have arrived. If you come later in the day and do not see the table, go to the office.
5. If you ordered the pulled pork lunch, call the Club office at 910-256-2726 when you are ready for your plate to be delivered. Just tell them where you are, and they will bring your take-out plates to you. You may eat in the dining room, snack bar area, or on any of the first or second floor porches.
6. If you would like to compete in the Cornhole Tournament or the Ken Johnson Memorial Horseshoe Tournament, signup sheets will be available on the first floor, ocean side porch.
7. We expect that our facility will be quite crowded on July 4. Please remember that unvaccinated members and their guests are encouraged to wear masks inside the building.
8. Please pick up after yourself! We are working with reduced staff, so we need members to help keep our building and grounds neat and clean.
9. Please do not park in the gravel lot if you will be coming later and/or leaving early. We are reserving those spaces for members who will be coming early and staying all day so that the gate will not have to be opened and closed over and over during the day. As in past years, we expect that we may have to double park cars in the main lot during the most crowded part of the day. Just leave your keys in the car and the parking lot attendants will move cars as needed.

Thanks to our Social Committee, chaired by Cher Pridgen, for organizing our celebration. It truly does take a village to offer all the games and activities for July 4th! We always need volunteers to help with social activities. Contact Cher if you can volunteer for one or more events this year.

SNACK BAR SCHEDULE: The Snack Bar will operate normal hours on Saturday and Sunday (11:00-4:00). Normally, the Snack Bar is closed on Mondays, but since Monday is a holiday for many, the Snack Bar will be open from 11-2. It will be closed on Tuesday for this week only.

DINNER MENUS: Remember, our dining room is operating at near normal capacity for the summer. Come to the Club to enjoy the beautiful view and delicious meals served by our Food Services Manager, Garrett, and his staff.

BINGO, BINGO, BINGO! Come early to make sure you get a seat to play Bingo on Wednesday, July 8 at 7:00pm. Please bring a prize for Bingo. Home baked treats are always a crowd favorite, but anything will be appreciated. Steve Lee will be hosting this week!

HSC MERCHANDISE: We have plenty of royal blue and purple HSC stadium cups with lids and straws ready for you. You can purchase them at the downstairs snack bar on weekends, from the office, or add them to your online snack bar order. We also have a few tees and hats left that you can purchase in the office. More merchandise will be arriving in a couple of weeks!

There will not be a newsletter/blog next week. I will be on vacation! Check out FaceBook for any breaking news.
