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.
