~A Note from the House Committee~

SUMMER ROOM RENTALS: Although winter is still going strong and the temperatures are numbing, it is time to start thinking about summer room rentals. Members can mail requests beginning on Monday, March 2. Family/Guest requests can be mailed beginning on Monday, March 9. 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. Summer 2026 rates and current meal pricing can also be found on the Quick Links page.  Rates are not changing for this season.

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.  USPS has changed the way they postmark mail.  To ensure that your reservation is postmarked the day you mail it, you must go inside the Post Office and ask for a handstamp. 

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, members fill nearly all weeks, 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 exceedingly 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, including yourself, 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 no later than April 3 and all rooms must be paid by May 1. Make sure you use a working email that does not have a full mailbox.

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, 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.

📌 Important: USPS Postmark Changes & Room Reservations

You may have seen recent updates about how the USPS is handling postmarks—and this could impact your HSC room reservation. The committee uses postmarks when assigning rooms, so here’s what you need to do:

  • ✅ Take your reservation inside the post office
  • ✅ Ask for a hand-stamped postmark

It only takes a few extra minutes, and it ensures your reservation is properly dated—much better than explaining to your family why you didn’t get a room!

More details on room reservations are coming soon!

Annual Meeting Highlights

The Annual Meeting for Regular Members took place on Saturday, October 18 at the Club. During the meeting, the following officers were elected to serve one-year terms:

  • President: Dan Harris
  • Vice President: Joe Browning
  • Secretary: Valrie Horton
  • Treasurer: Laura Earnhart

Additionally, Eleanor Thorne was elected to the Board of Directors for a three-year term.

Members approved one change to the Constitution:

  • Section 3 was added to Article IV – Miscellaneous, stating that email is now an acceptable method for membership communication and formal distribution of information. Each member must keep a valid email address on file and update their contact information as needed.
  • Members may opt out of email communication and continue receiving updates via U.S. Postal Service. Annual meeting mailings will still be sent by mail.

Save the Date: The next Annual Meeting is scheduled for Saturday, October 24, 2026, at 10:00 AM in the Club dining room. This date differs from what was discussed at the recent meeting due to a scheduling conflict with the Ironman Triathlon.
