GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE | PHIL IANNELLI
MANAGEMENT TEAM
August Greentings!
Christine Jordan Director of Clubhouse Operations
Once again, I have various unrelated topics that need to be shared. As always, some subjects are more informational in nature, others run a little deeper. I will leave it to you to decide which is which.
Tip Tribbitt, CEC Executive Chef
Socially, one of the month’s big events is our Oysterfest & Seafood Extravaganza that will be held on Saturday, August 2nd.One of the challenges we have had this year is that almost all our events have had limited capacity with frequent wait lists to get in. We intentionally developed this evening to be able to accommodate “a crowd”. Sign-ups are already great, but reservations continue to be accepted. No lottery or waitlist! Another “don’t miss event” is the summer’s final Lobster Night that will be held on Wednesday the 20 . F&B also has a complimentary wine tasting in Pub37 on the 27 and Live Music in Pub37 on Thursday the 28 . Plus, the lottery for the Farm-to-table dinner that will be September 6 is now open. th th th th Although seating on the outdoor patio is "first come, first seated", we occasionally have a waiting list for tables. Please check indoors at the podium for availability rather than seating yourself. Please be reminded that the dress code for the outdoor patio is the same as inside. Congratulations to our youngest members on the Swim Team. Once again, our kids practiced, competed and had another fun, successful season. Thanks to Parents, Coaches and Swimmers for all your effort! In Golf, our Club Champions (Men’s, Ladies, and Junior) have been determined, so activity transitions into more routine programming like a Women’s Social, Mixed Twilight, Ladies 18- and 9-hole weekly events and the Men’s Labor Day Member/Member. Enjoy your courses! Racquets programming doesn’t slow down a bit in August. A tennis Mixed-Social, Pickleball socials and camps, Ladies Tennis camps and separate junior and adult bus trips to New York to enjoy the US Open are all on the schedule. Speaking of not slowing down, our summer sports camps and clinics continue through August 22. We are beginning to see the peaches and the apples in the orchard take on a lot of color. Don’t be deceived! Many times the fruit appears ripe long before it is ready for picking. We will tag each tree with a ribbon when that fruit is ready. Also, please take the time to lean the picking pole upright against the tree when finished. Not only does it make it easier for the person following you, it also reduces damage to the pickers. Each year, our mowers encounter one or two that are hiding in the grass! A special thank you! Every season, but especially this year, we rely on many summer employees to supplement our full-time staff. Most of these individuals are college students, working as interns or simply trying to make a few bucks for tuition. They work in all areas from Swim and Tennis to Golf and Grounds and of course F&B. I hope you’ll join me and take a moment to share your appreciation for their efforts before they leave. We couldn’t have done it without them. As club activity increases there are more opportunities for members to have an impact on their fellow members’ enjoyable use of the facilities. You have written rules that speak to the “big issues”, but the small interactions are left to each member’s consideration for that fellow member.It is the responsibility of every member to create an environment that can be enjoyed by all. How you treat your golf courses, dispose of your trash, extend courtesy in the Fitness room/Locker room and monitor your children’s behavior are just a few examples of areas that can have a tremendous effect on the “person behind you”. Please always be thoughtful of the impact your use has. I know that August is a time when many of you take off for some well-deserved vacation time. I hope you will have an opportunity to spend some time with us as well. Thanks for reading and I’ll see you at the Club! Phil Iannelli
