THE MAIN PARKING LOT WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 1 FROM 8:00AM UNTIL APPROXIMATELY NOON FOR THE SPECIAL CALLED MEETING OF REGULAR MEMBERS. THE PARKING LOT WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR BEACH ACCESS – ONLY FOR THOSE ATTENDING THE MEETING. THE GRAVEL LOT WILL BE OPEN. WE WILL OPEN THE MAIN LOT AS SOON AS THE MEETING ENDS.

SPECIAL CALLED MEETING:

In July 2019, the majority of the Regular Membership voted to remove the A-Frame damaged by Hurricane Florence and build a duplex on that lot. The Board was tasked with choosing building plans, securing financing, and finding a builder. That has been accomplished, so a Special Called Meeting for Regular Members will be held at 10:00am Saturday morning. Only two items of business can be discussed at this meeting – the contract with a builder and securing a loan to build a duplex. Check-in will begin at 9:00am. We ask that members arrive early so that we can get everyone checked in and not cause a backup in traffic on Lumina Avenue. To make check in faster, please put a piece of paper with your name and member number, large and dark, on your dash. Members will stay in their cars and listen to the meeting on their radio. Bathrooms will be available. Masks must be worn if you leave your car. More instructions will be provided when members arrive. Results of the vote will be posted at the Club, posted in the blog, and emailed to members. To view a PowerPoint presentation of the proposed duplex, click HERE. This is located on the Quick Links page of the website, near the top.

Two emails were sent to Regular Members over the past week. If you did not receive them, reach out to the office to get a copy. Or, if you are on Facebook, message Elise Wessell Beall your e-mail address and I will forward you one.

To join the club automatically and with possibly reduced initiation fee, sons and daughters must join prior to their marriage or 26th birthday, whichever comes first.

Sons and daughters who did not join on time and grandchildren are placed with the other applications on file for acceptance at a later date when positions become available. They will be required to pay the full initiation fee. We are NOT accepting applications for friends of members or other extended family.

BE SURE TO WEAR MASKS BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE BETWEEN LUMINA AVENUE AND THE BEACH SIDE OF THE BOARDWALK. THIS INCLUDES GRAVEL LOT, PORCHES, BOARDWALK, AND SNACK BAR. ALSO, REMEMBER TO USE ENTRANCE AND EXIT DOORS INTO THE SNACK BAR! PARENTS – MAKE SURE YOUR CHILDREN KNOW THE RULES.

Parking Passes

The Board of Directors has voted to allow members to purchase guest parking passes Monday through Friday for $10 per day. A member may purchase no more than 2 passes per day because the Covid rules limit the number of guests per member family to 2. No guest passes will be sold on Saturday, Sunday, or holidays. Remember, NO GUESTS ARE ALLOWED AT THE CLUB ON WEEKENDS. This includes children and teens. All guests must follow all rules including wearing masks. Children of members who are under 26 and do not have stickers on their cars may get a guest pass at no charge Monday through Friday. No passes will be given on weekends or holidays. When coming to the office to get parking passes, be sure to bring an ID. The staff will be checking IDs to ensure that passes are only going to members.

Member Accounts

Please keep a close watch on your HSC dining room minimum account if you are ordering meals from the dining room and/or snack bar. Since we are not taking money, all charges go on your account. You must go online at www.hanoverseaside.club, login to your account, and pay any charges that exceed your dining room minimum. Please make sure all charges are paid by the end of each month. If you have not registered for the new website, you can call the Club office to pay your account by credit card.

Room Update

We have just a few rooms available to rent for the next few weeks – through August 15. Remember, you can rent for the full week (6 nights) or shorter stays of at least 2 nights. Quite a few members are taking advantage of the shorter reservation jperiods. If you are interested, call now so that you do not lose this unusual opportunity. Once school starts there are quite a few rooms available.

Meals

Remember, you can eat evening meals in the dining room, or get take-outs. Call by 4:00 the day prior to make reservations.

Thursday, July 23 – Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan

Friday, July 24 – Prime Rib and Grilled Shrimp

Snack Bar

We have had rave reviews on the snack bar this year – especially online ordering. We are considering keeping the snack bar open on weekends through September, but we need to know if this is something the members will use. Please let a Board member or the office know what you think.

Message to Regular Members

An e-mail will be going out to Regular Members later today/tonight concerning the meeting on August 1. If you do not receive an e-mail, contact the Club office to get them to send you a copy. Or they will have copies you can pick up there beginning tomorrow.

COVID UPDATE

The Governor has extended the current Executive Order; therefore, there are no changes in our Covid policy at this time. Please remember:

  • Masks MUST be worn inside and outside when on our property from Lumina Avenue to the ocean side of the boardwalk. This includes the gravel lot, boardwalk, porches, etc. Please do not make staff have to remind you to put on your mask. We have noticed that some members are still failing to wear a mask when walking through to the beach. The progressive discipline program, approved by the Board, will be enforced.
  • Guests are not allowed on the weekends. Each member family can have two guests on weekdays, but on weekends we are reserving the Club for members only. No guest parking passes will be given at any time.
  • Only those renting rooms are allowed on the 3rd floor, including porches. Those renting rooms are screened upon check-in and throughout the week. If you rent a room on the 3rd floor and want to have an overnight guest, have them check in through the office so that they can also be screened.
  • When space allows, members may make reservations for the dining rooms. So far, there has been space every week this summer for additional diners.
  • Members are responsible for their guests. Please make sure that if you bring a guest, they know and follow the rules.
  • Guests may NOT be on Club property without the member who sponsors them.

SPECIAL CALLED MEETING

A Special Called Meeting for Regular Members will be held on Saturday, August 1, 2020 at 10:00am at the Club for the purpose for approving the financing and builder for the 605 S. Lumina duplex. As you may remember, the majority of Regular Members chose the duplex as the preferred option for the 605 property last summer. To meet our Constitutional guidelines and the Governors Executive Order, we will have a parking lot meeting. This has been done successfully in churches and other organizations for months. Regular Members will park in the paved lot and tune into the meeting on their radio. This allows more regular members to attend without the fear of virus transmission. Prior to the meeting, informational sessions will be held at 6:30pm on July 22 and 29. For those with computer access, you will be able to log into a secure site to attend the session online. For those without access, 10 people at the time can gather in the dining room for the session. More information on the sessions will be sent to Regular Members in the next few days. Information will also be placed on the website.

ROOMS

We have rooms remaining for most of the summer season. You may rent rooms for 6 nights (Sunday through Saturday) or for shorter stays, with a minimum of 2 nights. At this time, we are not renting any rooms over Saturday night. This allows us time to do a thorough job of cleaning/disinfecting the entire facility between check-out time Saturday morning and check-in on Sunday afternoon. To make a reservation, call the front office at 910-256-2726. We have had very good reviews from those who have stayed at the Club this summer. Members and their guests are following the rules and enjoying their time at the beach. We have a wonderful staff who is going out of their way to ensure member satisfaction.

MEALS

Breakfast is being served daily at 8:00am Monday through Saturday. Evening meals are served Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 6:30. Members may make reservations to eat in the dining room or pick up a take-out meals for all meals served. Please call the front desk for reservations. Reservations must be made by 4:00pm the day before you would like to dine.

Monday, July 20 – Fried Chicken and BBQ Beef Ribs

Tuesday, July 21- Beef or Chicken Tacos or Taco Bowls

Thursday, July 23 – Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan

Friday, July 24 – Prime Rib and Grilled Shrimp

Monday, July 27 – Fried Chicken and BBQ Pork

Tuesday, July 28 – Beef of Chicken Tacos and Taco Bowls

Thursday, July 30 – Chicken and Dumplings or Beef Pot roast

MEMBERSHIP

A reminder – sons and daughters must complete a Membership Application prior to their 26th birthday or their wedding, whichever comes first, in order to be guaranteed membership in the Club. If they do not apply on time, they will be added to the list of all of those waiting for admission into the Club – which is in the hundreds. Also, they will be required to pay full initiation fees regardless of how long their parents have been members. Membership Applications are located in the Member Section, Documents Tab, at www,hanoverseaside.com. Because of a backlog in applications, we are currently only accepting applications for children and grandchildren of current members.

COVID-19 UPDATE

IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH EXECUTIVE ORDER 147, THE BOARD HAS APPROVED THE FOLLOWING, EFFECTIVE JUNE 26 AT 5:00PM.

1.    Members and guests are required to wear Face Coverings on HSC property everywhere (inside and outside) between Lumina Ave and the end of the walkway at the beach end, including, but not limited to

·       porches. walkways, and stairs

·       picnic area

·       volleyball court

·       horseshoe pit

·       outdoors showers

2.    Face Coverings will only be required in the parking lot and at the sound side pier when members and guests are not able to comply with “social distancing” guidelines, i.e. closer than 6’ from anyone else.

3.    Members and guests are encouraged to comply with  EO No. 147 (wear a Face Covering or practice “social distancing”) while on the beach.

4.    Members are responsible to ensure that their guests abide by all rules of the Club including the wearing of face coverings. If a member or guest is not in compliance with wearing a face covering, they will be asked to put on a face covering.

Failure to Comply

Because of the unique danger associated with Covid-19, members and members with guests who refuse to wear a Face Covering, will be asked to leave the premises immediately. If a member fails to comply when asked to leave the premises, that member will incur an immediate seven (7) day suspension from the Club.  At this point, a member who refuses to leave the premises will be deemed as trespassing. On the second offense, a member will lose their privileges for the summer. A third offense will result in termination of membership. A member who sets foot on Club property while suspended will have their membership revoked.

All other Covid-19 rules remain in effect except those amended below. Please refer to previous blog entries (beginning on May 26) for further information.

The following rules are revised for those renting rooms on the 3rd floor:

a.    ONLY persons who are REGISTERED will be allowed on third floor or third floor porches.

b.    While in the building, except when in their room, registered guests are required to wear facemasks.

c. Members staying on the 3rd floor may NOT have guests dine with them at their table except for immediate family (parents, children, or grandchildren). Guests who are not immediate family may dine at another reserved table. Reservations for guests must be made by 4:00pm on the day prior.

ROOM RENTALS

We currently have rooms available on the 3rd floor most weeks this summer. Several weeks have multiple rooms open. This would be a great time to bring non-member guests who cannot normally get rooms during the busiest part of the season. Call the Club office to find out what is available for the remainder of the summer.

If you have a room rented, remember you must cancel at least 14 days prior to your move-in date to receive a full refund. Refunds will not be provided for late cancellations without special/unusual circumstances and require approval from the Board.

SNACK BAR

We have had rave reviews on our snack bar operation this summer. Service is fast and the food is good and hot! Remember, you can use your dining room minimum in the snack bar! Be sure to use online ordering for fast and easy service. You must register for the new website at www.hanoverseaside.club in order to place online food orders. Instructions can be found HERE. The front desk can help you register if you have problems. If you are not able to place your order online, call the Club office to place your order.

UPCOMING MENUS

Meals are served each Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evening. You must make a reservation by calling the Club office no later than 4:00pm the day BEFORE you wish to dine. There is limited seating for those not renting rooms at the Club. Reservations are made on a first come-first served basis. You can order any evening meal as a take-out.

UPDATE ~ JUNE 15, 2020

COVID-19 UPDATE:

The COVID-19 Committee met on Sunday, June 15, 2020 and has approved the following changes to our Covid Policy:

  • We have several older members who no longer drive; therefore, they do not have parking stickers. They rely upon friends/family to bring them to the beach. Since we have not been issuing guest parking passes, they have not been able to use the Club. The Committee approved giving guest passes to those who bring our older, non-driving members to the beach.
  • Each member family will be allowed to bring up to 2 guests to the Club Monday through Friday. No guest parking passes will be provided. Members are responsible for ensuring that their guests know and follow all COVID-19 rules including wearing masks inside the building and social distancing. NO GUESTS WILL BE ALLOWED ON WEEKENDS.
  • Members are welcome to order from the Snack Bar for guests; however, since money does not change hands, it must be charged to the members’ accounts.
  • Guests will be allowed to dine with members in the dining room. The limit is 2 guests per family. Diners will be required to check in, have their temperature taken, and answer a few basic questions prior to entering the dining room. Masks must be worn except when eating. Reservations must be made in advance.
  • An extremely scaled down 4th of July celebration is being planned. More information will follow, but here are some basics for now.
    • Only yellow stickers will be allowed in the parking lot
    • Parking will be on a first come – first served basis. No cars will be allowed to double park. When the lot is full, members (even with a yellow sticker) will not be allowed to park until space becomes available.
    • No guests are allowed, nor will guest parking passes be issued
    • There will be no opening ceremony, pictures on the porch, parade, or games on the beach/porches. We will have some treats for the kids.
    • Modified Horseshoe and Corn Hole Tournaments will be held in the afternoon.
    • There will be no plated lunch; however, the Snack Bar will be open and able to handle large numbers of orders

Other News:

The online ordering system for the snack bar is ready for members to use. This is so fast and easy – you re going to LOVE it. But before you can use it, you have to register for the new website at www.hanoverseaside.club.  Once the person whose name the membership is in has registered, you may share the username and password – or the secondary member may register. Check HERE for instructions on registering. The number for the spouse is the same 7 digits followed by A. Again, you must enter the name exactly the way it is listed in our records. The office can help with that – call 910-256-2726.

Preparing snack bar orders in the 2nd floor kitchen has made delivery of snack bar items much faster. With more cooking space, we can get orders out hot and fast!

To use online ordering:

  1. Go to hanoverseaside.club and log in.
  2. If you are on a computer, you will see the menu bar across the top – look to the  far right. On a phone, click on the 3 horizontal lines on the left for the menu. Click on ONLINE ORDERING.

SAVE THE DATE:

The 605 South Lumina Committee has been working hard for the Club. In the next couple of weeks, the plans will go to selected builders to get estimates. Once estimates are in, the committee will once again speak with bankers to find our best options for financing. At that point, the Regular Membership will need to vote on the builder and financing. We cannot meet until the Governor moves us to a phase that allows enough people to meet in one location to approve the motions. We are hoping that will happen by the end of July. So please save the date of Saturday, August 1 at 10:00am for a called Regular Meeting at the Club. Our Constitution requires us to mail information 30 days prior to the meeting; therefore, letters will go out by July 1. If the Governor does not allow a gathering the size we need by August 1, we will have to cancel the meeting. We also may have to get creative to make our meeting happen while meeting any Executive Order in place on August 1. Our goal is to have the duplex complete and ready to rent for the 2021 summer rental season. Look for more information on this soon.

NEW MANAGER:

Our new manager, Peter Bourne, has moved in and started work. We are excited to have Peter on board. He brings several years of Assistant Manager experience at Beau Rivage where he worked with members and guests. He is looking forward to meeting our members and helping us make the most of our Club during difficult times. Please stop and introduce yourself to Peter when you see him at the Club.

SUMMER VACAY!
The Dining Room and Third Floor rooms will open next weekend! We are excited to get our Club back to as close to normal as we can during these trying times. We are following all Executive Orders and CDC recommendations to keep our members safe and healthy. Our Club remains a wonderful place to enjoy a week at the beach. We have rooms open nearly every week during the summer. If you would like to make reservations, call the Club office at 910-256-2726. Rooms can be rented for guests – the only exception to guests on the premises. A member must make the reservations and is responsible for the member while they are our guests.
NEW WEBSITE:
Remember, all members who wish to use the new website at hanoverseaside.club must register. This site is going to be AMAZING! You will be able to make snack bar orders from the comfort of your beach chair, pay your bills on your phone, make dining reservations (once the COVID crisis is past), view the member roster, and lots more. HERE are instructions for registration. Get registered so you can take advantage of all we have to offer this summer.
PARKING:
Remember, parking stickers must be permanently affixed to the lower, passenger side of the windshield. They may NOT be taped to the windshield. Members are given stickers for a registered vehicle, so they should not be moved from car to car. And, of course, stickers can NOT be shared with other family members or friends who are not members. If stickers are shared with nonmembers, the member could lose parking privileges or be disciplined by the Board.
SECURITY:
We are currently searching for a part-time security guard. Sadly, Danny, our security guard from last year has graduated from college and moved on. Until we hire someone specifically for security, our staff will be handling security duties along with their regular jobs. Please help them by watching out for people who are not treating our property with respect. We have ongoing problems at the sound with young people misbehaving, using inappropriate language, acting dangerously, and breaking Club rules. We feel that many, if not most, of them are nonmembers trespassing on our property. If you see someone misbehaving, ask if they are members and remind them that this is private property and they could be arrested for trespassing. You can also call the Club office to let them know when you see problems.
MEMBER DISCIPLINE:
Because of problems with members and their children not following the rules, the Board has approved a Progressive Discipline Plan. We hope not to have to use this plan. If a staff member asks you to stop breaking a rule, comply and all will be well. If we see a child breaking a rule, we will try to find the parent and let them know what’s going on. We will only use this plan for members and their children who consistently break rules and do not respond to requests to stop.
The General Rules for the Club can be found HERE. Rules also include the COVID-19 rules that are posed in several blog posts over the past couple of weeks. Please make sure everyone in the family understands rules and the consequences for not following them.
This is what our Constitution says about discipline:
All members shall be subject to the rules and regulations of the Club, as may be adopted by the Board, and a willful and persistent disregard of the same shall work the loss of membership or imposition of fine as may be determined by the Board at its discretion. Provided, however, the Board shall not impose a fine or terminate a membership unless and until such member has been afforded an opportunity to meet with the Board at a time and place determined by said Committee. In the event the Board determines that a member has willfully and persistently disregarded the rules and regulations of the Club, the Board may, by unanimous vote, terminate such member’s membership, or in lieu of terminating member, impose a fine upon such member.
Progressive Discipline Plan approved by the Board:
  • First offense – Personal phone call from the manager – verbal reprimand.
  • Second offense – Letter from the House Committee Chair noting the reported offense and stating that if there is a third offense of any type, disciplinary action up to and including a fine or suspension of membership could occur.
  • Third offense – Membership suspended. Member not allowed to use Club facilities for 7 days
  • Fourth offense – Membership suspended. Member not allowed to use Club facilities for 30 days + $100 fine
  • Fifth offense – Membership suspended for the remainder of the fiscal year (October 31)
  • Final offense –If member/family member comes onto Club property while suspended, membership will be terminated.

Our first priority is the health of everyone who comes onto our property. As guidelines and orders change, our rules and regulations will change. Hopefully, as the summer progresses we can loosen some of the rules. We will provide updates as often as possible to keep members informed.

  7. No Sunday lunch will be served at this time. The kitchen cannot handle snack bar orders and Sunday lunch simultaneously. With no members on the 3rd floor on Saturday evening, the need for Sunday lunch is greatly reduced. We may add boxed meals later in the summer.

June 8 – Dining Room Opens 

  1. Meals will be served in the dining room on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings.
  2. Members staying on the 3rd floor will have assigned tables and an assigned time to go through the serving line. If space allows, other members may make reservations to dine in the dining room. The number allowed will change on a week-by-week basis, with the number not to exceed the NC Executive order #141 Emergency Maximum Occupancy.

  5. Third floor residents will complete a disposable menu stating their entrée preference for each day of the week. The menu can be changed during the week.
  6. Members calling to make dining room or take out orders will also state their entrée preference. This will reduce waste in the dining room.
  7. No member staying on the 3rd floor may have guests for meals sit at the table with them, even if the guest is also a member. All 3rd floor residents will be screened, other members coming for meals will not. We do not want 3rd floor residents exposed to others during the week. Third floor residents are expected to maintain social distancing from members not staying upstairs.

If there is a known or suspected case of COVID-19 by anyone using the Club, the Emergency Closure Plan will be enacted. When complete, this plan will be placed on the Quick Links page of the website. This plan will result in some or all areas of the Club being closed for cleaning/disinfecting.
