FALL MERCHANDISE PREORDER!

It’s time to get ready for cooler weather! We are offering fall merchandise by preorder only. This year, instead of sending your order to me, we will be using an online store. I think you will find it very easy to place your order. You have the option of picking your order up at the Club, or having it shipped.

We have chosen very high quality shirts. The long sleeved tees are the same that we used last year – the thicker cotton shirts. The 1/4 zip and hoodies are the same we have used in the past. .All shirts will have the HSC logo on the front upper left. It will NOT have the Celebrating 125 years under the logo. The back of the shirt will have the beautiful line drawing of the Club from the ocean side – exactly like our tees and sweats from the last 4 years. We picked out a variety of styles and colors so hopefully everyone can find something they like. Sizing information is located in the online store if you are unsure about what size to order.

The online shopping cart will be open until Labor Day – Monday, September 2. You will pay online through a secure site. Shirts can NOT be charged to your Club account. Once you complete your order, a receipt will be mailed to you. Since these are special orders, all sales are final.

CROSSING LIGHT: The new crossing light at the sound is working well. Please remember, just pressing the button does not stop traffic. There are still drivers who speed down Waynick and do not stop for pedestrians. Be careful out there!

SEASONAL MEMBERS: If you have been a Seasonal Member for 5 years or more, did you know that you can apply to become a Regular Member? If you are interested, simply fill out the Application to Convert from Seasonal to Regular Membership form located on the Quick Links page of the website. Return it to the front desk in an envelope marked for Membership Committee. When there are spaced available, the Membership Committee will review the applications on file to bring the number up to Constitutional limits. Regular members are invited to attend the Annual Meeting of Regular Members and vote on proposals. They can also serve on all committees of the Club and run for office. We need Regular Members who are willing to volunteer for committees, work on annual work days, volunteer to run for the Board, attend Annual Meetings, etc. Dues and Dining Room Minimum are the same for Regular and Seasonal Members. The only difference is that Regular Members can be assessed. However, to my knowledge, there has not been an assessment since at least World War II and that was not a true assessment.

MEALS: Have you used your Dining Room Minimum? The season is coming to an end, so be sure to come for a meal or two or eat in the Snack Bar. Upcoming menus:

Monday ~ Fried chicken or pulled pork

Tuesday ~ Tacos/taco bowls and enchiladas

Thursday ~ Fried chicken breast with bacon and cheese or meatloaf

Friday ~ Fried flounder or fried shrimp

Baked or grilled entrees are available upon request. Anyone having dietary restrictions should let the front desk know when reservations are made.

A childrens’ menu is also available upon request – chicken tenders, hot dog, or grilled cheese with fries are offered.

Reservations for weeknight meals must be made by 2:00 on the day of the reservation.

BINGO: The last Bingo of the summer season will be held on Wednesday, August 21 at 7:00. Tim and Brandi Batchelor are calling. Be sure to come and bring a prize! It’s going to be fun.

PORCH PARTY: Members have raved about our Porch Parties this year. Be sure to come to the final party on Saturday, August 31 from 6:00-9:00. Bring your favorite beverage and an appetizer to share! Music by Vince’s Steel Drum.

SUNDAY PRIME RIB LUNCH: Sunday, September 1 is the last Sunday Prime Rib and Grilled Shrimp Lunch of the season. Call for reservations by the Friday before at 5:00. These lunches fill up quickly so call early to ensure that your family can enjoy this delicious meal!

SNACK BAR HOURS: The rainy weather we have had over the last few weeks has affected our Snack Bar Hours. When the Snack Bar hours are going to be changed, a message is placed on our Facebook page. This is also a good place to find out what’s going on quickly. If you do not use Facebook and the weather is overcast/rainy, call the office to find out if the Snack Bar is open.

FALL PREORDER: Be sure to check your email and the blog for information on our fall merchandise preorder.  Information should go out in the next few days. We will be offering long sleeved tees, hoodies, 1/4 zips, and crew neck sweatshirts in a variety of colors. This year we will be using an online store where you order and pay. Pick up will be at the Club. We will offer shipping for those members who cannot pick up. Prices will be available when we open the online store.
