WRISTBANDS

Over the past several years, there has been a tremendous increase in trespassing/non-members accessing our Club property. It is a real problem that the Board has examined for years. To date the Board has increased security measures through a paid security guard, additional parking lot staff, additional gates, and no-trespassing signs; however, these measures have not been effective.  The Board has spoken to other clubs and discussed this with the town of Wrightsville Beach.

At the last Board meeting, the Board approved the use of reusable wristbands as a security measure.  After careful review of various options, the Board determined that it is necessary to move forward with a method to identify members. We recognize that this change will not be celebrated by all, but it truly is the best method the Board could find to meet Club needs.

Wristbands as a security method have been adopted because they are:

·        An easy, visible method to identify members.

·        Cost effective

·        Customizable

·        Reusable and easy to replace

·        Available in a disposable version for guests

·        Available in multiple sizes (we have 7 inch and 8 inch)

The Board will be monitoring usage and compliance with the wristbands over the next few weeks. We ask the membership to embrace this new security measure. An enforcement policy will be implemented as needed. Ideally, the membership will adopt the new policy and wear their wristbands as requested. You don’t have to wear wristbands on the beach – just on Club property. If you choose not to wear the band on your wrist, there are options. You can attach it to a beach bag, your key ring, your cell phone, etc. It just needs to be obvious that you have a member wristband.

The effective date of the new policy is June 25, but we recognize it will take time to adopt. All members will be required to wear a wristband. Minors (under the age of 18) are asked to wear wristbands when not accompanied by an adult member. The procedure for obtaining wristbands, are as follows:

1.     Pick up wristbands in the office during regular office hours (Monday 10-2, Tuesday-Friday 10-4, Saturday 9-6, Sunday 10-4). Wristbands will be available beginning Thursday, June 17.

2.     An adult family member (18 or older) can pick them up for the entire family.

3.     If a member did not return a Member Survey previously, they must update family information in Jonas, which can be done at the office as well.

4.     Out of town members can pick up wristbands on their first visit to the Club. The wrist bands will not be mailed.

5.     The date received and the number of wristbands supplied with be documented and members will be asked to acknowledge receipt.

6.      Disposable wristbands will be available for your guests. You can pick one up either in the office or from the parking lot attendant, if there is one on duty.

7.     If you get to the beach and realize you forgot your wristband, no problem. Just stop by the office and pick up a disposable guest wristband for the day.

The Board thanks its membership for supporting this initiative and will be reviewing its adoption on an ongoing basis. Changes or updates to the policy will come as we receive feedback from the membership. Please help make this a success so we can better protect the interest of the membership.

Please do not respond to this e-mail with questions and comments regarding wristbands. You can e-mail Board members by clicking on their names under Board of Directors HERE.

If you step in the office and no one is behind the desk, please wait patiently. The office attendant may be helping another member away from the desk. If the door is locked, no attendant is on duty. If you call and nobody answers, leave a message and someone will return your call. Occasionally, you may get a message that the mailbox is not able to take a message. Wait a few minutes and try again. We are training new staff all over the Club, so please introduce yourself and be polite and friendly while the staff learns their new jobs.

PILLOWS: For those renting rooms, remember that the Club no longer supplies pillows – you must bring your own. Guess who forgot this last weekend? Yep, me! Thought I should remind you so you aren’t in the same boat.

Our 2021 Summer Season will kick off Friday evening. We are so happy to be nearly back to pre-Covid days. We will be hosting parties and events once again. Our dining room is back to full capacity. Showers and dressing rooms are open. Members can bring guests again; however, no guest passes will be given out before 4:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Masks are NOT required either inside or outside for fully vaccinated individuals. Those who have not been vaccinated are encouraged to wear masks indoors. We hope to see a lot of you this weekend!

NEW MANAGER:

The Board has hired a new manager, Gregg Tolerico. Gregg will be in for most of the weekend, then will assume full-time duties later next week. The Search Committee was extremely excited to find an applicant with Gregg’s experience and skills who is willing to live on-site. He has friends who are Club members, so he has visited many times in the past. Gregg understands the traditions and culture of the Hanover Seaside Club and is looking forward to getting to know our members and helping us improve our facilities and programs.

SOUNDSIDE PROPERTY:

Our soundside property stops at the bulkhead on the north side of our pier. We had a friendly agreement with Dr. Turlington, who passed away 2 years ago, that allowed us to use the soundside beach between our pier and his. The property has been sold and the new owner has children and grandchildren who want to be able to use the space. We are working on an agreement with him; however, until that time we need our members to respect the property line. There is currently a rope line delineating the area we are allowed to use on the north side of our pier. The water up to the high tide line is included as a CAMA Public Trust Area, so you may swim anywhere in the sound. But you may NOT put beach chairs and allow children to play in the sand above the high tide line north of the rope boundary. Until we can enter into an agreement with the owner, please stay on our side of the rope line on the beach area.

UPCOMING MENUS: You must make reservations by 4:00pm the day before.

PARKING: If you have not received your letter with parking sticker, call the Club office between 10-2!

We continue to have problems with non-members accessing our property. In order to discourage trespassers, we will be monitoring our parking lot very closely this summer. The following rules will be strictly enforced.

  1. Current member stickers must be permanently attached to the passenger side of the windshield by May 28. Members without stickers will not be allowed to park.
  2. If you have more drivers than parking stickers, a day pass can be obtained at no charge in the office. Make sure your driver knows your member number and has an ID to get a day pass. If the office is closed, place a sheet of paper with the driver’s name and member name & number on the passenger side of the dash.
  3. Guest passes can be purchased for $10 per day from the office. After 4:00pm, there is no charge for guest passes. If a guest needs to park and the office is closed, a piece of paper with the guest’s name and the member’s name & number must be placed on the dash on the passenger side. Remember, guests can only be on HSC property WITH a member in attendance. You may not invite guests to park in our lot and use our facility unless you are with them.
  4. Guest passes will not be sold for the Saturday and Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend or July 4th. After 4:00, guest passes will be provided.
  5. EVERY CAR IN THE LOT MUST HAVE A MEMBER STICKER, A GUEST PASS, OR A PAPER DENOTING WHOSE CAR IT IS AND THE MEMBER’S NAME/NUMBER. ALL OTHER VEHICLES WILL BE TOWED AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE. THIS RULE IS IN EFFECT 24 HOURS A DAY, 365 DAYS PER YEAR.

LOCKERS:

If you have not done so, you must pay for your locker in person in the office, or by phone. Any lockers not paid will be open for other members to rent. There is currently a waiting list for chair and surfboard lockers.

BOAT STICKERS:

To launch, dock, or store boats at the Hanover Seaside Club, you must purchase an annual sticker and have it in place by Saturday, May 29. In order to receive a sticker/permit, the boat must be registered to a member. Please see the Boating Policy and the Boat Registration Form on the Quick Links page of the website. We continue to use the 2019 Boat Registration Form and fees have not been increased.

YOUTH TEES:

We have a large number of youth tees that have been acccumulating over the past several years. We have a variety of colors and designs in sizes S-L, with an XL or two. The tees originally sold for $15. Until Tuesday, we are selling the tees for $7 each – first come first served. I will post a few pictures on FaceBook so that you can see what’s available.

COVID UPDATE: In order to comply with the Governor’s latest Executive Order, the Covid Committee has voted to lift all mask requirements and restrictions on capacity at the Hanover Seaside Club. While the CDC has advised that fully vaccinated individuals are safe to go without masks both inside and outside, they continue to recommend that masks be worn by those unvaccinated or who have not completed the series. The Covid Committee urges those members who have not been vaccinated to continue wearing masks when inside at the Club. Further guidance will be announced after the Covid Committee next meets.

OFFICE HOURS: At present we are extremely understaffed in the office at Club. We are in the process of interviewing prospective managers and an additional front desk attendant. We continue to search for a Parking Lot Attendant and Servers/Snack Bar Attendants. From now until May 28, we will be operating with limited office hours. The hours are as follows:

Monday – Closed

Tuesday through Sunday – 10:00am until 2:00pm

Those checking in or out during times when the office is closed will be contacted so that arrangements can be made.

SNACK BAR: The Snack Bar will open for business on Saturday, May 22, and Sunday, May 23 from 11-4. At members’ requests, we are excited to offer new items on our menu this year.

Side Salad ~ $3.50

Chef Salad ~ $6.00

Veggie Burger ~ $6.50

The remainder of the menu will stay the same as last year – and prices will be unchanged. If food prices increase, we may have to address the cost of snack bar items during the season.

OPENING LETTERS: Opening letters have been mailed to those members who have no outstanding balance. If all dues and dining room minimum have not been paid, parking stickers will not be mailed. If you do not receive your letter and stickers in approximately a week, please call the Club office.

PARKING STICKERS: Don’t forget to put your parking sticker on your car immediately when it arrives. Beginning May 29, any car without a parking sticker or guest pass will be towed at owner’s expense.

OPEN HOUSE: Members are invited to an Open House at 605 S Lumina on Saturday, May 22 from 10-2. Come down and take a tour through our beautiful rental property. Volunteers have been working hard to get everything moved in and set-up. It has been a huge job and we appreciate all of members who have helped unpack boxes, wash dishes, load cabinets, decorate, etc.

MERCHANDISE: We continue to work on tee shirt orders. Shirts will not arrive before opening weekend, but we will have them for you in early June. We will have a supply of short and long sleeve tees, in a variety of colors, with our stunning design. Until then, we have a new item for you. Beginning May 22, we will be selling 22-ounce stadium cups with tops and straw. Cups are offered in red or blue with our logo and a beach quote. We are keeping prices low – $4 per cup – so that everyone can have their own HSC cup! You will be able to order a cup from the snack bar when you place your lunch order, from the downstairs snack bar, or the office. Quantities are limited, so get your cup quickly.

UPCOMING MENUS: Our Mother’s Day Buffet filled completely. This is the only Sunday lunch for May. Sunday lunches were offered several times, but we were forced to cancel due to lack of reservations. From now until Memorial Day weekend, Friday night dinner is the only meal on the schedule.

Friday, May 14 – Shrimp with Feta or Chicken Paprikash

Friday, May 21 – Fried Flounder or Fried Shrimp

Friday, May 28 – Prime Rib and Chipotle Citrus Shrimp

The regular summer meal schedule will begin with breakfast on Saturday, May 29. A full breakfast will be served Monday through Saturday. Dinner will be served Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Since the kitchen is used to prepare meals for the snack bar, no Sunday lunch will be served. Pricing remains the same as 2020. Dinner menus will be posted at least a week in advance to give members the opportunity to make reservations for their favorite meals.

SNACK BAR: How many of you have been anxiously waiting for a good old HSC Cheeseburger or Club Sandwich? Since Memorial Day is so late this year, we decided to open the Snack Bar for the weekend only a week early. Be sure to come to the beach on May 22 and 23 from 11-4 and order lunch! This year we are adding a Chef Salad to the menu for those of you who would like to have a lighter lunch.

Normal Snack Bar Hours – beginning May 29 – are Tuesday through Friday, 11-2. Saturday and Sunday, 11-4. Like last year, all food will be cooked in the kitchen. On weekends, the downstairs snack bar will be open to purchase snacks, drinks, ice cream, tee shirts and other merchandise from 11-4. On Tuesday through Friday, you can order snacks, drinks, and ice cream online or by calling the office and someone will bring it down to you.

If you have not used our online ordering system, you are really missing out! You can order from your beach chair, walk up and your food will be delivered on the first-floor porch. So fast and easy! You must be registered at www.hanoverseaside.club in order to use online ordering. Call the Club office if you need help registering.

ROOM RESERVATIONS: Don’t forget . . . ROOM RESERVATION PAYMENT IS DUE BY FRIDAY, MAY 21. You can pay online, by check, or by calling the Club office. We are understaffed at the moment, so you may have to leave a message for someone to return your call.

If you have not made room reservations but want a week at the Club, it’s not too late. We have reservations available the following weeks:

June 5-12 (4 Rooms) – Rm 01, 02, 06, 12

WORKDAY: Thanks to all who turned out for our Workday last Saturday, May 1. We had a great response and were able to complete many of our projects – from laying mulch, to trimming bushes, hammering nails, removing rotted wood, etc. I do not have a list of volunteers, but you know who you are. We appreciate you!!!!

SEASON OPENING LETTER: The season opening letters containing parking stickers have not gone out yet. We are working to get them out as quickly as possible.

NEW TEE SHIRT DESIGN: We are extremely excited about our new tee shirt design. Special thanks to member Liz Sullivan of Insight Creative who designed the tee for us. You might remember that Liz’s husband, Scott, designed our duplex at 605 S. Lumina. What a talented and giving family! We are lucky to have them. Those members who are on Facebook had the opportunity to vote for colors. Tees will be printed on five colors for adults – blue, green, grey, white, and navy. This year’s shirts are an incredibly soft, comfy triblend fabric that we feel sure members will love. We hope to get the order in this week. Shirts, and other merchandise, will be available in the snack bar on weekends, and the office at other times. We will have a limited number of each size/color available, so be sure to get your shirt early. Since there isn’t generally much interest in youth and toddler sizers, we are only ordering one or two of each size in blue and white. We can place another order, if necessary.

COVID UPDATE: The Covid Taskforce met on Sunday, May 2, 2021 to update the HSC Policy following the Governor’s Executive Order which went into effect on Friday, April 30 at 5:00pm. The Taskforce unanimously agreed to the following:

Henceforth, unless future developments dictate, the HSC Covid Policy will be the guidelines set forth by the Governor’s current executive order regarding Face Coverings, Meeting Spaces and Reception Venues, Restaurants, and Mass Gathering, and other future Section of Executive Orders that may apply to the Hanover Seaside Club. This policy means that any restrictions currently in place that are more restrictive than those set forth by the Governor are repealed.

A few of the changes:

  1. No masks are required outside anywhere on Club property. This includes parking lots, walkways, porches, sound side, etc. We discourage members and their guests from congregating in areas (like the boardwalk to the beach) that can easily get crowded, forcing people to be in close proximity.
  2. There is no limit on the number of people who can sit together, at one table, in the dining room.
  3. Guest are allowed, and guest passes will be sold on weekdays and weekends – except on holidays and days listed in the Rules and Opening letter.
  4. Members staying on the 3rd floor may have guests. Guests must be checked in through the office and must wear masks inside the building.

The following rules remain in effect:

  1. Masks must be worn at all times inside the building except when sitting and actively eating/drinking.
  2. Only guests of those staying on the 3rd floor are allowing on the floor, including porches.
  3. Unvaccinated members and their guests should socially distance from others not in their household.

For those interested in reading the Governor’s Executive Order, it is linked HERE for you. Areas that are necessary for the HSC to follow are highlighted in yellow.

We have had several questions concerning limitation on numbers in our dining room and booking parties and events for the summer and fall. While the Governor’s Order states that indoor restaurants can be at 75% (which for us would be around 80 people) the Order also states that tables must be 6 feet apart. When putting our tables at the required distance, we can seat approximately 55-60 people, depending upon size of tables. Also, while mass gatherings have been increased to 100 inside, there are other provisions that we must follow. Our dining room, when used for private parties, falls under the same category as Meeting Spaces, Convention Centers, and Reception Venues. The rules for these spaces are as follows:

  1. Guests must Be Seated. To limit the degree to which Guests at the facility may come into contact with one another and spread COVID-19, a facility covered by this Subsection is closed unless it is or becomes a seated establishment for Guests. Guests must be in seats except to pay, enter, leave, use amenities, visit the restroom, and obtain food or drink.
  2. Capacity Restrictions. While this Executive Order is in effect, all open facilities covered by this Subsection must limit Guests in indoor and outdoor seating areas to Emergency Maximum Occupancy. Under this Executive Order, the Emergency Maximum Occupancy for a facility is the lowest number produced by applying the following tests: 1. Overall. The facility must limit Guests to fifty percent (50%) of the stated fire capacity for each indoor and outdoor space controlled by the facility. For rooms or spaces without a stated fire capacity, the limit on Guests is twelve (12) per one thousand (1000) square feet, rounded up.
  3. Social Distancing Required. The facility must limit the number of Guests in the space so that groups can stay six (6) feet apart.

This means, that if we book a party in our facility, the party would be limited to about 55 guests, the guests must wear masks except when eating/drinking, and guests must remain seated at their table nearly 100% of the time. Guests could not mingle/interact with others outside of their household. Since this would be impossible to enforce, the Covid Committee has determined that we will not book parties until current Orders, in effect until June 1, are changed.

The Governor has stated that he would like to further reduce restrictions for the summer, but the way for that to happen is for more adults to be vaccinated. His goal is that 66% of adults have at least one vaccine before opening our state further. Our Club is a family club, and the Covid Committee feels that it is our responsibility to protect all members and their guests. We encourage all adults to get the Covid-19 vaccine if they have not done so. Getting vaccinated protects you, your family, your Club friends, and will allow us to remove the restrictions so that we can enjoy a happy, healthy summer at our Club and Summer Home.

MOTHER’S DAY BUFFET: Mother’s Day is just a few days away. Garrett, our Food Services Manager, has planned an amazing menu to celebrate our Mothers. Call as quickly as possible to secure your reservation for either the 11:30 or 1:30 seating. You may eat in the dining room or have a meal to go. Right now, Sunday’s forecast is lots of sunshine and 80 degrees! Sounds like a perfect gift to our mothers!

OBITUARIES: We are sad to announce that two of our long-time Club members have passed away. Please keep their friends and families in your thoughts and prayers. We will miss these two women who were such an active part of our Club. If you click on their name, you can see their complete obituary.

605 S. LUMINA: The 605 S. Lumina Committee and Interior Design Committee are busy purchasing last minute items to make our rental property the best on Wrightsville Beach. We think you will be as pleased as we are when you tour the units during the Open House on May 22 between 10-2. We know that many of you have probably read more books and put together more puzzles in the last 12 months that you have in any year of your lives! If you have books and puzzles in excellent condition that you would like to donate, we will place a few in each of our rental units. We will accept either hardback or paperback books – but preferably not books that were in your beach bag when that rogue wave snuck up and drowned the contents. And please, no puzzles that are missing pieces. We don’t want puzzle rage from our renters!

WORKDAY: A Member Work Day will be held Saturday, May 1 from 8-12. Please come help us get your Club ready for the season. We need helpers to work with small, easy repair jobs and minor landscaping. Bring yard tools, small hand tools, and anything else you have that might work. We appreciate our members who volunteer their time to help with our facility.

MASK MANDATE: The CDC has determined that masks are no longer needed outside when fully vaccinated people gather. Governor Roy Cooper adjusted the Executive Orders so that masks are no longer required outside. For unvaccinated people who can not remain 6 feet apart, masks are recommended. Beginning at 5:00 Friday, the Hanover Seaside Club will no longer require masks outside on porches, walkways, parking lots, etc. When entering the building, masks MUST be worn at all times except when sitting and actively eating/drinking. The Covid Committee will be meeting in a few days to discuss other ways the new Executive Order may affect Club operations.

ROOM RESERVATIONS: E-mails which include room/week assignments have been sent out to all members who reserved rooms. If you did not receive an e-mail, please call the Club office between 10-2. You may pay online at www.hanoverseaside.club. You must register for the new site to access your statement and pay online. The front desk can help you get registered. You may also pay by calling with a credit card number or mailing a check to our PO Box. All room payments must be paid by the member no later than Friday, May 21.

Rooms are still available many weeks during the summer. To reserve a room, call the front office (910-256-2726) between 10-2.

CLUB STAFF: Our search for a Club Manager and other staff continues. If you know of anyone looking for employment, please see the previous blogs for links to job descriptions and application. We still need a Manager, servers/snack bar workers, parking lot attendant, front desk attendant, and security attendant!

WELOME TO LIBIT GLENN:

Elizabeth “Libit” Glenn has agreed to stay at the Club for the month of May while we interview candidates for the Manager’s position.  After Peter resigned, we decided to ask Libit to stay because she has an effervescent personality and has never met a stranger.

Libit is a native of Winston-Salem. She is retired, is very active in her Church, works with the Methodist Woman, and volunteers with a local community garden to help supply food to those in need.

She loves the beach and is always willing to accompany friends who might want to travel there for a week or a weekend. Please keep in mind that she is NOT an employee. Her ‘job’ will be to unlock the building in the morning, lock the doors at night, and be available overnight in case of emergency. If she helps out, it will be because that is who Libit is. She’ll reside in the Manager’s apartment. During the day she has been instructed to enjoy the beach, walk the loop, shop at the Assistance League Thrift Store, sit on the porch to relax and generally enjoy herself. If you see her, please introduce yourself and make her feel

PARKING STICKERS/GUEST PASSES: Season opening letters, including new parking stickers, will be mailed within 2 weeks. When you receive your stickers, please affix them to your cars immediately. As in the past, a single person will receive one sticker, a family with multiple vehicles will receive 2. If you are single and have two cars registered in your name, you can get a 2nd sticker at the Club office. Families receive a maximum of 2 stickers. If you have more licensed drivers, anyone without a sticker can get a day pass in the office at no change. This must be done daily.

We are having increasing problems with unauthorized vehicles in our parking lot, and nonmembers using our facility. To combat this problem, our first goal is to monitor the parking lot stringently. All cars in our lot MUST have either a current parking sticker OR a Guest Pass at all times. Towing will be strictly enforced! If any car is found in the lot during office hours (summer season 10-6) without a sticker or guest pass, the car will be towed at the owner’s expense. Guest passes can be purchased for $10 per day from the office. After 4:00, there will be no charge for passes, but a pass must be picked up from the office and placed in the car. If the office is closed, please write a note with the member’s name and guest’s name on a sheet of paper and place it on your windshield so we will know who cars belong to. Any unidentified cars WILL BE TOWED.

LOCKERS: Small lockers in the snack bar area are ready for use after painting during the winter. Be sure to go to the office and pay for your locker prior to putting items in them. Remember, a lock must be on every locker at all times.

MOTHER’S DAY BUFFET: The Mother’s Day Buffet is filling up quickly, so call today for your reservations! We are limited on the number of seats we can have in our dining room but take outs will be available if you would like to eat lunch on a picnic table or one of our beautiful porches.

605 S LUMINA AVENUE:

Thanks to the extremely hard working 605 Committee, our duplex is ahead of schedule and on budget! You can see more interior and exterior pictures at www.seascapevacationhomes.com. Furniture has not arrived, but should be in place in a couple of weeks. We will begin renting the units Memorial Day weekend.  Rentals have really picked up! If you know anyone interested, they should reserve quickly.

We would like to invite members to an OPEN HOUSE, Saturday, May 22 from 10-2. You will be able to tour the completed duplex. Everyone must wear a mask when entering the building. The number of members allowed inside at one time will be restricted; therefore,  we ask that members not congregate and socialize inside to allow more members to view the duplex.  We think you are going to be impressed with our propeerty!

ROOM RESERVATIONS: The Committee responsible for making room reservations met last weekend. All members who requested rooms for themselves or a guest were given either their first or second choice week, but not necessarily the room requested. Some of the rooms have extremely high request rates, so we do our best to make everyone as happy as possible. Bills will be e-mailed in the near future. You can pay your bill online by going to hanoverseaside.club and logging in. Bills will be available online within the next few days. Click on Statements and you will see your balance. The statement does not show the week/room number of your reservation – only your total. The other information will be in the e-mail you receive. If you have not registered for the new website, please follow these INSTRUCTIONS and register. If you have difficulty, call the Club office, or contact help@hanoverseaside.com for assistance.

NOTE: If a member makes a reservation for a guest, the room must be paid for by the member. We will not accept room payment from guests. However, guest can pay for their meals at check-out.

We have several rooms open for the following weeks. Call the Club office to make reservations! Remember, you may make reservations for guests even if you will not be staying with them
