GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE | PHIL IANNELLI
Christine Jordan Director of Clubhouse Operations MANAGEMENT TEAM
September Greetings!
The seasons are changing! July was miserable (even for summer), but August teased us with some glorious promise of fall weather that lies ahead. I’m sure that we are ready for the gradual transition to some shorter days and cooler nights. There are several signals to indicate that summer will soon be just a memory. Despite them being especially beautiful this year, the summer annuals are beginning to look a bit tired and before too long, will be replaced by fall mums. Another is the pool. Attendance starts to wane, and lifeguards are hard to find. Once again, our intention is to extend the pool season one weekend past Labor Day and this year it looks as though we may be successful. We have the desire and the staff; we just need the weather. The pool will close Tuesday through Thursday immediately following Labor Day weekend. The plan is to re-open at 3:00 pm on Friday afternoon and have the facility open from noon to six on Saturday and Sunday. If we determine that the weather isn’t going to cooperate, we’ll adjust accordingly. Another signal that seasons are changing is that we just had a meeting to review this year’s Christmas decorations. It reminded me to remind you that there is no better place to hold your Holiday Celebration than your club. Christine and Jen mentioned to me that several good dates remain available. Whether your event is for 20 people or 200, personal or business, give us a call and let us show you how easy and painless Holiday entertaining can be. Please keep in mind that because of how the calendar falls, this year there is one fewer weekend between Thanksgiving and Christmas to entertain. Advanced planning is encouraged! Inside the Clubhouse, September marks the beginning of the “Dining Season”. Formal and informal menus both undergo some minor adjustment to keep seasonal. Towards the end of the month, we’ll break out the heaters so casual outdoor dining can continue to be available on the club’s various patios for as long as the weather lasts. But why not consider dressing up a bit and joining friends and family in the Dining Room? Many of you take full advantage of our offer for a celebratory dinner on your birthday. When you do, the most frequent comment heard from members after enjoying their special evening is “why don’t we do this more often?” Good question! . . . Why don’t you? Don’t wait until you have something special to celebrate. Just come! You’ll be glad you did. Formal not your thing? We have a couple of other social events on the docket as well, starting with a Chilean Wine Dinner on Wednesday September 3 . The season’s second and final Farm-to-table dinner will be held on Saturday the 6 . Although this event is full, sometimes a spot opens at the last minute. We’ll let you know through a “push notification” if that happens. Pub37 features a special Happy Hour every Friday starting at 5:00 pm and on Thursday the 25 will host another evening of free live music when Lee Gerovasiliou returns to the stage at 6:00 pm. rd th th The final “tell” that the seasons have changed is evident in the apple orchard. September is prime picking month. At some point during the month, each of the different varieties will be ready for picking, but they aren’t all ready at the same time. We’ll tag the ripe trees with a ribbon to help guide your selections. If you are curious about the location of the different varieties here’s a link to the orchard map. It seems like yesterday we were celebrating the opening of the pool and Café with a wonderful three-day Memorial Day weekend. Swim Meets, Sports Camps, Golf and Racquets Championships, July 4 Fireworks, Lobsters, Oysters, and Farm-to-Table Dinners are just some of the great memories of the season. I hope that you have had an opportunity to take advantage of the facilities enjoying your favorite activity. If not, don’t despair - there is still a full complement of social, fitness, golf and racquets events planned for the fall, so plenty of chances remain! I’ll see you at the Club th Phil Iannelli
