MASK MANDATE: At this time, the New Hanover County Mask Mandate is still in effect. This means that masks must be worn at all times inside the building except when actively eating or drinking.

MOLLENE MATTHEWS SMITH: Our love and prayers to the friends and family of our retired manager, Mollene. For many years, Mollene helped raise our children, plan our parties and special events, cook our meals, bake our cakes, and give our Club the loving, family atmosphere that had us all coming back year after year. She wasn’t just our Manager – she was our friend and for many of us part of our family. For the past few years, Mollene has battled cancer. She fought the good fight, but went home to be with her Savior on Saturday. The family with receive friends at the Club on Friday, November 5 from 4:00-7:00pm. Flowers may be sent to the Hanover Seaside Club for the family.
