EASTER EVENTS: Don’t forget to call and make reservations for the Easter Egg Hunt! We need to know how many children to expect so that we have plenty of goodies. The second (1:30) seating of the Easter Buffet is full. There are spaces available for the 11:30 seating. Call as soon as possible if you would like to enjoy a delicious lunch in the best venue on the beach!

ROOM RESERVATIONS: The Room Reservation Committee met on Sunday, March 20 to assign rooms for the 2022 summer season. Every member who requested a room was able to reserve a room, though some had to choose an alternate week. You will receive your bill and assignment by e-mail in the next few days. Please note:

  1. The office does not make reservations for the summer season until the Room Reservation Committee has completed their work. Please do not call to complain about your room assignment to the office – they had nothing to do with it.
  2. There are only 3 rooms with a full bath. Many reservations noted three room choices – 3, 4, and 14 – the rooms with a full bath. They did not note that they would take any room assigned. It is impossible to give everyone who requests it a full bath. The Committee takes many factors into consideration including number/age/health of those occupying the room, if the member has had a full bath in the past couple of years, etc. We try to be fair and spread those rooms around so everyone who wants it gets the opportunity to enjoy the full bath. That means, if you got one last year, you may not have this year. If you get one this year, you may not next year.
  3. Room 14 has a walk in shower. Priority is given to those members with health issues that prevent them from accessing the bathtubs in 3, 4, and the end of the hall.
  4. There are only 2 rooms that have 3 queen sized beds. We have quite a few large families who request those rooms. Again, the committee looks at many factors when assigning the rooms and we do the best we can to make everyone happy, realizing that it is impossible to do so.

When you receive your bill and room assignment, if you do not want the room you were given you may cancel your reservation by calling the Club office Monday through Friday from 9-3. Payment for rooms must be received by Friday, May 6 or the reservation will be cancelled by the office. Please note, if you reserved a room for a guest, the member must pay for the room.

The following rooms are available for rent. Call the Club office to reserve your room. Payment is due when you reserve.

ROOM REFRIGERATORS: Many members who rent rooms on the 3rd floor bring coolers (ice chests) to keep snacks and drinks in their rooms. Through the years, we have had problems with coolers leaking, ice being spilled on the wood floors, and increased moisture in the rooms. The current budget included placing a small refrigerator in each room to remove the need for personal coolers. The 4.4 cubic food refrigerators have a small freezer compartment and room to keep snacks and drinks. If members wish to have a cooler for extra food, they should be kept on the shelves in the snack bar area. The ice maker on the 3rd floor will continue to be available for those renting rooms to fill their coolers in the snack bar and for the beach. We think you will enjoy this addition to the room rental experience. Renters are responsible for emptying and wiping out their refrigerator prior to check-out.

DINING ROOM MINIMUM: Each member pays a $75 dining room minimum with their annual dues. The minimum can be used for meals in the dining room or snack bar. When making your reservations or placing your snack bar order, please note if you would like to use your dining room minimum. We do not automatically use the dining room mimimum – you must tell us. Minimums must be used by October 31 or the remainder will be forfeited.

2022 MERCHANDISE: The Summer 2022 merchandise has arrived! The picture does not show all of our merchandise, but we have something for everyone. We have tees in a variety of colors in youth/toddler, ladies, and unisex sizes.(Ladies cut tees run a little small – Small is 2-4 and XXL is 14-16) The colors are gorgeous this year! We also have navy hats with white embroidery, red, blue, and purple cups with lids, and light blue koozies. Our merchandise would be perfect for Easter baskets. Stop in Monday through Friday from 9-3.

DUES: If you have not paid your dues, please do so immediately. According to our Constitution, any member failing to pay dues shall be automatically suspended and shall be denied the privileges of membership until such dues are paid. Acceptance of full arrears and restoration of membership shall be within the discretion of the Board. If you are unable to pay your dues in full but wish to retain your membership, please contact the Club office as quickly as possible.

SUMMER ROOM RESERVATIONS: It’s almost time to mail your summer room reservation request! Members can mail their requests beginning Monday, March 7. Non-member requests can be mailed starting on March 14. The Room Reservation Information Sheet can be seen HERE. Printable forms can by clicking HERE and then clicking on Room Reservation Form – 2022. This is a word document that you can print, complete, and mail to the PO Box. No letters or forms will be mailed to members. If you need help, call the Club office.

TOMMY BANCROFT: We are sad to announce the passing of long-time member, Tommy Bancroft. His obituary can be found HERE.

MICHAEL GODWIN: We also send our thoughts and prayers to the Godwin family for the loss of Michael. His obituary is HERE.

CLUB UPDATES: The staff, Board, and several committees have been working hard during the off season to update the Club property – inside and out. As you know, we have a new walkway to the ocean. The porch railings and have also been repaired and a new fencing placed.

WORK DAY: The Facilities Committee will hold their annual Work Day on Saturday morning, April 23 (rain date April 30). This is a time when we ask members to volunteer their time to help get the property looking good for summer. Steve Jeremias, committee chair, is working on a list of projects to accomplish that day. When his list is complete, we will post more information on what to bring. But please mark April 23 on your calendar to help out at your Club and Summer Home!

EASTER: The Operations and Social Committees are working hard making plans for Easter Activities. There will be a Sunday Buffet (2 seatings) on Easter Sunday. More information will be provided in a few weeks.

SUMMER MERCHANDISE: Our summer merchandise has been ordered and will be stocked by Easter. We will have Unisex tees in a variety of colors (aqua, blue, ice blue, orchid and mint), Ladies fitted teas in berry and aqua, Toddler and Youth tees, hats, cups and Koozies. Because of supply chain issues, not all sizes are available in all colors, but we think everyone will be able to find tees they like. We’ll let you know when we have everything ready to purchase!

HOURS: Remember, the office is open Monday through Friday from 9-3. The downstairs will be unlocked on weekends from 9-5. As we get closer to the summer season and the weather improves, our hours will increase. We’ll keep you informed.

MEMBER SURVEY: In 2019, all members were asked to complete a Member Survey so that our staff could update our data base. Many members never completed the form. One result is that it is impossible to plan for how many new members we can expect each year because we don’t know which children of members will be turning 26. Also, when a child of a member comes to the office to get a parking pass, if they are not in the data base we have no way to verify membership. In that case, they cannot be given a parking pass or guest passes for their guests. The Member Survey can be found HERE. If you are not sure if your data has been updated, please call they Club office and they can get your information by phone. Or, just complete another form and drop it by the office ASAP.
