Just a reminder that the Annual Meeting of the Hanover Seaside Club will be held on Saturday, February 11, 2012 at 2:00 pm in the Club Dining Room. All regular members in good standing (2012 dues paid) are encouraged to attend.

Several changes in our methods of bookkeeping and financial controls will be discussed. At the request of several members, a CPA firm was hired to look into the Club’s books. Grady Windham of Windham & Henderson hopes to be on hand to discuss his compilation of the 2011 books. If he is not available, he will have a report prepared for work completed. Also at the request of the membership, the Board has hired Crystal Ahumada of KeraTech to perform all accounts receivable and accounts payable functions. Crystal will be at the meeting to answer questions about our current budget and financial controls being put in place to improve the operation of the Club. A representative from Phoenix Enviro will also attend to provide information to the membership regarding renovation needed on the 3rd floor of the Club.

If you have not done so, you will be able to volunteer to serve on one of the new Standing Committees at the meeting on Saturday. The Board’s hope is that Standing Committees will improve the overall operation of the Club, allow us to handle business in a faster and more efficient method, and allow regular and seasonal members to have input into the operation of the Hanover Seaside Club.

Elections will take place during the meeting. Two new Board members and the President, Vice President, and Secretary-Treasurer will be elected. You must attend the meeting to cast your vote and let your preference be known!

Maintenance on the website is ongoing. Hopefully all of the documents in the Member Section of the website will be available for members to view prior to the annual Meeting.

Come ring in the New Year with your Hanover Seaside Club friends!  The celebration will begin at 8:00.  Enjoy music and dancing, and heavy hors d’oeuvres.  BYOB.  Reservations are required and are limited to 100 members and their guests.  Cost is $10 per person.

There are still a few rooms available for those who would like to stay.

Come join the fun!

Summer might be over, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. Join your Hanover Seaside Club friends for an informal covered dish supper on Saturday, November 19 at 6:30pm at the Club. After dinner we’ll move back the tables and dance the night away! Bring a dish, your favorite beverage, and enjoy some delicious food and good music with great friends.

This party is limited to Hanover Seaside Club members and their invited guests. For more information, contact Jean Lawler.

Tradition is very important to the members of the Hanover Seaside Club.  What could be better than a traditional 4th of July celebration?  The day started with the flag being raised by Bo and Eddie Wessell.

Next, group photographs were taken on the front steps – first the adults, then the children.

Then it was off to the beach for the annual parade.  Trey led the way, drumming up enthusiasm, while flags waved in the ocean breeze.

There were races on the beach for the kids – both small and large!

The celebration included a Cupcake Walk, fried chicken lunch, Horseshoe Tournament and lots of rocking and catching up with old friends.

It was wonderful to see all members, both young and old, enjoy the celebration of our independence.  What a wonderful day!
