Payment for rooms must be received by Friday, May 5 or the reservation will be cancelled by the office. Please note, if you reserved a room for a guest, the member must pay for the room.

You can make payments online through the website. The balance for your summer reservations won’t show up on your account until after you check out at the end of your stay. But still you can make payments online. All you need to do is enter in the “pay now” area of your online account the correct amount you owe for all of your reservations. You can combine the total amount owed for all reservations to make just one payment if you want.

The Board has revised the Check-out policy this year. Payment for all meals and incidentals is expected at checkout. If a member cannot checkout during normal checkout times, they must meet with the Manager in advance to review charges. Upon checkout, residents will have 14 days to review and dispute any charges. The Club will then have 30 days to respond to the request and reconcile any issues. The Front Desk Attendant can provide a copy of all charges (to date) and determine total amount owed before you leave on Saturday.

The following rooms are still available for rent. Call the Club office to reserve your room. Payment is due when you reserve.

We will list projects in the next blog.  Thanks for supporting the Club.

 ROOM RESERVATIONS: The Room Reservation Committee met on Saturday, March 25 to assign rooms for the 2023 summer season. We were not able to accommodate all of our requests this year.  Many of you were assigned your alternate date.  Thanks to those of you who were flexible about changing weeks. You will receive your bill and room assignment by e-mail in the next few days. Please note:

1. The office does not make reservations for the summer season until the Room Reservation Committee has completed their work. Please do not call to complain about your room assignment to the office – they had nothing to do with it.
2. There are only 3 rooms with a full bath. Many reservations noted three room choices – 3, 4, and 14 – the rooms with a full bath. They did not note that they would take any room assigned. It is impossible to give everyone who requests it a full bath. The Committee takes many factors into consideration including number/age/health of those occupying the room, if the member has had a full bath in the past couple of years, etc. We try to be fair and spread those rooms around so everyone who wants it gets the opportunity to enjoy the full bath. That means, if you got one last year, you may not have this year. If you get one this year, you may not next year.
3. Room 14 has a walk-in shower. Priority is given to those members with health issues that prevent them from accessing the bathtubs in 3, 4, and the end of the hall.
4. There are only 2 rooms that have 3 queen sized beds. We have quite a few large families who request those rooms. Again, the committee looks at many factors when assigning the rooms and we do the best we can to make everyone happy, realizing that it is impossible to do so especially if you have not flexibility with your schedule.

When you receive your bill and room assignment, if you do not want the room you were given you may cancel your reservation by calling the Club office Monday through Friday from 9-3. Payment for rooms must be received by Friday, May 5 or the reservation will be cancelled by the office. Please note, if you reserved a room for a guest, the member must pay for the room.

The Board has revised the Check-out policy this year.  Payment for all meals and incidentals is expected at checkout.  If a member cannot checkout during normal checkout times, they must meet with the Manager in advance to review charges.  Upon checkout, residents will have 14 days to review and dispute any charges. The Club will then have 30 days to respond to the request and reconcile any issues. The Front Desk Attendant can provide a copy of all charges (to date) and determine total amount owed before you leave on Saturday.

If guests leave early and do not check out at the front desk, they will be charged for meals served for all dates reserved.

The following rooms are available for rent. Call the Club office to reserve your room. Payment is due when you reserve.

Memorial Day weekend                  Room 1

NEWS ~ FEBRUARY 17, 2023

OUTSTANDING BALANCES: Please remember that annual dues were due on January 31, 2023. There are a few members that have not paid their dues or have outstanding balances from rooms or meals. Please check your balance online through the Quick Links tab on www.hanoverseaside.club, login to your account (at top right), click on Member Central and then Statements or call the office if you have questions. Anyone with a balance will not be able to make a room reservation or receive a parking sticker.

ROOM RESERVATIONS: It’s almost time to send in your reservation requests for the summer season. Members can mail requests beginning on Monday, March 6. Family/Guest requests can be mailed beginning on Monday, March 13. The updated Room Reservation Information Form and Room Reservation Form are both on the website. Be sure to read the information page carefully prior to completing your form. Go to www.hanoverseaside.club and click on Quick Links to print the forms. Room information is near the top of the page.

A few hints for making reservations:

1.      Residents must supply their own sheets, towels, AND pillows. Mattress pads are laundered weekly.

2.   If you want to request 2 weeks, you must complete 2 forms. Be sure to note if the weeks must be consecutive.

3.   If you want to request 2 rooms for the same week, you must complete 2 forms.

4.     Forms MUST be mailed to the PO Box. You may NOT drop them by the office. The postmark is used when assigning rooms, so mail your forms on the first day possible to give you the greatest chance of getting a room.

5.   All dues and any other outstanding fees must be paid in full prior to requesting a room. If there is any balance on an account, requests will not be considered.

6.     If you want to request a room for a guest or want to stay with other family/friends that will need several rooms, your best chance of getting your request is to schedule it in very early June, or after the first week in August. Between mid-June and the first week of August, nearly all weeks are filled, and some weeks have a substantial waiting list.

7.     Check in time is 4:00pm on Saturday. Check out time is 10:00am on the following Saturday.

8.    The Room Assignment Committee works extremely hard to try to fairly assign rooms. It is very difficult when we have 25+ requests for 14 rooms. It is always helpful when members provide an alternate week. By providing an alternate week, you have a much better chance of having your request granted.

9.     You may NOT request a room under your membership but allow a non-member to occupy the room without you. For example, you cannot rent a room and give it to your adult child who is not a member. They can stay in the room WITH you – but you must occupy the room you reserve.

10. Room assignments are based on the number of people sharing a room and the need for a full bath. There are only 2 large rooms (3 beds) and 3 rooms with full baths. The committee tries to be fair and meet the needs of our members. The same families will not receive rooms with full baths every year if others request the same rooms. Be sure to state the names and ages of ALL members and guests who will occupy a room to make our jobs easier. Also, those who are handicapped or require a walk-in shower are given priority for room 14. Be sure to state on your form if you NEED room 14.

11.  Members ALWAYS receive priority over guests when scheduling rooms.

12. Bills will be e-mailed by April 7 and all rooms must be paid by May 5.

13. All room bills must be paid by the member requesting the room. If you are reserving a room for a guest, you must pay the bill and be reimbursed by your guest.

14. If you reserve and pay for your room and need to cancel, you will receive a refund if the room can be re-rented. If there is an emergency situation, you can petition the Board for a refund.

15. Upon check out, you will be provided with an itemized statement. You have 14 days to request a review of your statement. After 14 days, no changes can be made.

SALE: All ladies cut tees from 2022 are on clearance sale for $8 each. When purchasing these tees, be sure to size up about 2 sizes. The tees are cut very small. So, if you normally wear a medium, purchase an extra-large. Smalls will fit women who wear a 0-2 or youth XL. Tees are available in aqua and berry. Also on clearance for $8 are child and youth sizes. We only have a few of them left. Inventory is listed below. Adult unisex sizes are not included in this sale.

BOARD MEETING: The Board will meet on Monday, January 23 at 6:00pm at the Club. All members, Regular and Seasonal, are encouraged to attend.

NEWS ~ DECEMBER 11, 2022

Yes, I am still here. Nearly a month after my supposed retirement, I continue to communicate with our members. But this is probably my last newsletter. The Board has found someone to take care of the Constant Contact portion of communication. Jan will handle the website/blog. Brad Walls will be in charge of Face Book communications. So, it’s taking 3 people to replace me 🙂 I will be helping them until they learn all of the ins and outs of three separate platforms. Please be gentle with them while they learn. Remember, we added programs slowly over the years, so I didn’t have to learn it all at once. Good thing! Luckily this is a slow time in terms of meals, events, reservations, etc. If you have questions, simply call the Club office. If there is no answer, leave a message. Someone will return your call.

STAFF CHRISTMAS GIFT! Time is running out to contribulte to the staff Christmas gift. Our staff has gone above and beyone to make sure that members have a pleasant experience every time they visit. Friday, December 16 is the final day to make your contribution. You can place a check in the suggestion box just inside the front door, or mail a check to our PO Box. Be sure to note Staff gift in the memo section of your check.

These are a few of our staff members at the Christmas party Friday evening.

BOARD MEETING: During the Covid pandemic, Board meetings were held using a Zoom type program. As the number of cases decreased, some members met at the Club while others met online. Now that those who want to be have been vaccinated, the number of cases is lower, and the newer variants are not as serious, Board meetings are once again held at the Club. All members, Regular and Seasonal, are encouraged to attend Board meetings. The December meeting will be held December 19 at 6:00 at the Club. If you would like to address the Board, you must contact Jan Sheppard prior to the meeting to be placed on the agenda.

DUES STATEMENTS: Statements were mailed over a week ago. If you have not received your statement, please call the office ASAP. It could be that we do not have your correct address in our data base. This year we made an effort to include locker fees on your dues statement. Our data base of lockers was incomplete; therefore, you may not have been billed for your locker. If not, call the office. Let them know your locker number and they can handle it. Dues are due no later than January 31. According to our Constitution, any member failing to pay dues by the deadline will be automatically suspended and denied the privileges of membership until dues are paid.

CHRISTMAS UNDECORATING: What goes up must come down! We need volunteers to help take down and store the Christmas decor on December 27 at 10:00am. When members volunteer to help, it reduces our staff payroll which helps to keep our expenses in line. We realize that this is a work day, but would appreciate all who can come lend a hand.

CHRISTMAS CLOSING: The Club will close for the Christmas break on December 23. All doors will be locked and the office will be closed until the new year. The schedule for the winter months will be announced at a later time.

CHRISTMAS PARTIES: We had a great turnout for both of our Christmas parties. The Club was decorated beautifully and the food was delicious. Thanks to the Social Committee for doing such an outstanding job on these events – and all of the events this year. It has been so nice to be able to socialize with our Club friends again! The Social Committee has given us many opportunities to get together and have fun.

NEWS ~ November 3, 2022

ANNUAL MEETING: The Annual Meeting of Regular Members was held on Saturday, October 22 at 2:00 at the Club. The membership voted to increase dues for the coming year by $50 per membership. The cost of operating our Club has increased substantially across the board. The increase is necessary to help us balance our budget. New officers were elected for the 2022-23 membership year. They are:

President: Jan Sheppard

Vice President: Brad Walls

Secretary-Treasurer: Peggy Russell

Board Members: Cher Pridgen, Jake Wessell, Lee Bugalski, Lee Pearson, Joe Browning, and Steve Jeremias.

STAFF CHRISTMAS GIFTS: We have gotten rave reviews on our staff this year. They have gone above and beyond the call of duty to provide exemplary service. The staff has kept our facility clean, served our meals, run up and down the stairs a multitude of times to deliver snack bar food, and assisted with private parties and Club events. All of this, plus many other duties not known or seen by the members, are accomplished in a friendly and professional manner. If you would like to help make our staffs’ holidays merry, you may contribute to a staff Christmas gift. Checks can be given to the front desk attendant (please place it in an envelope with Christmas gift written on the front) or place it in the suggestion box inside the front door. You can also mail a check to the PO Box. Make the check out to Hanover Seaside Club and place Christmas gift in the memo section. Please make your contributions by Wednesday, December 16 at 5:00. The total received will be divided among currently employed full and part-time staff using a ratio provided by the Operations Committee.
