NEWS ~ NOVEMBER 2, 2024

ANNA PRICE: Love and prayers go out to Lisa Peeler and Andrew Price on the death of their daugher/sister, Anna Elizabeth Price on October 25. The obituary can be found HERE.

THANKSGIVING EVENTS: Don’s forget to make reservations for our Thanksgiving buffet on Sunday, November 24 and the Flotilla Chili on the Pier on Saturday, November 30. Details are in the last newsletter.

ANNUAL MEETING: The Annual Meeting for Regular Members was held on Saturday, October 26 at the Club. Officers elected to one year terms include President – Dan Harris, Vice-President – Armistead Boyd, Secretary – Valrie Horton, and Treasurer – Laura Earnhart. Shanda Bordeaus and Gregg Surratt were elected to the Boardd of Directors.

Several changes were made to the Constitution. The job of Secretary/Treasurer was split into two positions. There is just too much work for one volunteer to handle. The initiation fee for new members was raised from $5000 to $7500. This does not affect initiation fees of sons/daughters who join prior to their 26th birthday or marriage, whichever comes first. The initiation fees for sons and daughters is on a sliding scale dependent upon how long their parents have been members. This is now listed as a dollar amount instead of a % amount to make it easier. The actual amount charged for sonsdaughters did not change. The new costitution will be uploaded to the website and can be found on the Quick Links page in the next couple of weeks.

The next Annual Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, October 18, 2025 at 10:00AM in the dining room at the Club.

STANDING COMMITTEES: We still need volunteers to serve on several of our standing committees. Most committees are composed of both Regular and Seasonal Members. If you would like to join a committee, please call the Club office at 910-256-2726 and have your name put on the list. Committees that need members are: Operations, Social, Governance, Finance, Facilities, and House.

BUNCO: Monday, November 4 at 6:00pm. Come on down and enjoy an evening with friends!

CHRISTMAS DECORATING: We need all the help we can get to decorate our Club for the holiday season. Please plan to meet at the Club on Saturday, November 16 at 10:00am to hang some garland and decorate the trees!
