NEWS ~ OCTOBER 18, 2022
When I was elected to the Board for the second time in 2011, I had several goals I wanted to accomplish. The most important was to improve communication between the Board and the membership. Our website (blog) went live in August 2011. Over the past 11 years I have posted 525 articles on our blog! We later added Constant Contact and Facebook to better communicate with members, so blog posts are shared in several ways. While I have enjoyed my tenure as head of Communications, the time has come to move on and allow someone else the opportunity to do this job. I have resigned my position effective November 15. Hopefully, by then, someone will volunteer to take over. I will gladly help train my replacement at my home! Information for post content will be provided. If you have basic knowledge of Word Press, FTP, e-mail programs, and Facebook and would like to volunteer, please contact Jan Sheppard. I will gladly help train my replacement!
Menus: If you are unable to eat fried foods, our Chef can often make alterations to fit your dietary needs. For example, on seafood night he can grill shrimp instead of frying. Please make special needs known when you make your reservations.

ANNUAL MEETING/COMMITTEES: The Annual Meeting is this Saturday, October 22 at 2:00PM. All Regular Members should plan to attend. We will be electing officers and approving a budget for the next fiscal year. When the new Board takes over (immediately after the meeting), new Committees will be put in place. Our Standing Committees are a very important part of our Club operation. They allow members, Regular and Seasonal, to take part and help spread the work among more people. We need members to volunteer to work on the following committees:

The Committee coordinates with the Club Bookkeeper with regards to Operations and Management Committee duties, evaluate the Club Manager annually, evaluates the Bookkeeper annually with regards to Operations and Management Committee duties, and recommends employee compensation adjustments to the Board. They also consult with the General Manager and review food service and guest room operations and management procedures, policies and financials, evaluate food service offerings, prices and room rates annually, and recommend proposed changes to the Board for approval. This committee provides general Club Operations and Management leadership as required and improves communications between the Board and the Membership by preparing periodic newsletters for the website and overseeing the Club website.
