Ship’s Store Update Greetings from the Ship’s Store staff of Deb deVries, Ellie Everitt, Michele Niblack, Kerri Pakalnis, and Joanne Chute. We are pleased to announce the addition of Cloe Gerri to the Ship’s Store Committee. Cloe has experience with business and accounting software, and we are very excited to have her a part of the committee as we continue to learn how to navigate Northstar. She is enthusiastic, smart, and willing! We continue to get good feedback on the honor system. The most difficult aspect is to record all of the information requested but we are all finding our way! While we are still in process with understanding and documenting all processes and procedures, we have figured out a way for employees to purchase merchandise! Mark Felbinger will describe how this will work with all of the staff. I am happy to announce that Carrie Brooks is looking at our local supplier of many of our product lines for staff shirts. I am happy as Sunshine Stitchers has been a great partner. We are doing a fair amount of “special order” items – usually items in a size we are out of or sometimes a different color. We feel this option is in keeping with our member amenity philosophy. We can’t guarantee that we can get you the item you want but we will certainly try. We have a “wish list” book next to the terminal where you can write down items you would like in a different size and also items you think we should consider for the Ship’s Store. We do carry Member only items such as 12”, 14”, 16” Burgees, Club pins, Club bullions, Club ties and we special order Bridge shirts for members. Those items are not on display. Please ask about these items by contacting any of the Ship’s Store Committee. Please check out our new merchandise - cute “skorts” for women - perfect for golfing, tennis, or walking! And we received a line of “shorts” for the men. In addition, we received some more Gill outerwear that appears to be very popular. Also, really cute “flip flops” with a white logoed ribbon! And more martini glasses are on the way – we can’t seem to keep enough of those on hand! Thank you all for your kind words of support and enthusiasm for the Ship’s Store merchandise! Deb deVries
