GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE | PHIL IANNELLI
MANAGEMENT TEAM
May Greetings! Although the outdoor sporting season started in April the weather certainly slowed our ability to get some of our facilities open. No worries, May is when the member use really increases, anyway. This Bulletin is packed full of information regarding upcoming events and activities, so please take a moment and review it thoroughly. Additionally, there are several miscellaneous items to share with you that may not otherwise be included. Please read on . . . The Grill/Terrace patio is now open for your dining pleasure! Please be reminded that tables may not be reserved in this area. While dining on the patio, parents and grandparents are also reminded that the putting green is considered part of the golf practice facilities and not a playground. Please help your youngsters understand appropriate use and attire for this area. There are two additional outdoor venues to enjoy as both Pub37 and the Café 1901 have their own patios. Use of each subscribes to the age and dress codes that coincide with the particular venues. Opening the patios also means that warm weather is here and with that comes a change in the way we dress. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the rules of attire that have been established by your fellow members for the various clubhouse venues/entrances. Please do your best to always support the spirit of those standards. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11 We offer two options to celebrate: a lavish Brunch (like Easter) starting at 10:30 or a more casual Mother’s Day Dinner Buffet in the Grill/Tavern beginning at 4:00. Consider which one is most attractive to your needs and make your reservation to join us for one of our biggest events of the year! th. In addition to Mother’s Day, F&B has a few more social events on May’s calendar; A Mixology class on the 1 . Cinco de Mayo in Pub37 on Friday the 2 , a Bouchaine Wine tasting event on the 8 , and live music in Pub37 on the 29 . Details are in this Bulletin. Please join us! st nd th th By now you should have received information about all our junior summer camp and clinic programs. We are pleased to offer more opportunities for you and your kids to use the club than ever before. Sign up and enjoy the summer! In Golf, the month is extremely busy. One private Monday outing; the continuation of Men’s and Women’s GAP matches, Men’s Twilight every Wednesday, The Men’s opening event on the 9 ; The first Mixed Twilight of the season on the 18 ; a Men’s Member/Guest on the 15 as well as a club fitting opportunity almost every Saturday. th th th Golf also has a full schedule for the kids with Junior League play, Clinics and the annual Junior Golf Kickoff event on Memorial Day Monday at the Short Game practice area. Bocce socials got started the final day of April. The courts are available every day, but Wednesday evenings we feature organized play. Call the Racquet Shop for more information. Also in May, there is a full complement of Pickleball activity, including everything from “learn to play” opportunities to competitive league play. It officially gets started with the Outdoor Season Opening Night on the 7 . th On Sunday May 4 our friends and neighbor, Winterthur, will be holding Point-to-Point. They have asked that we share a reminder that members will not be able to park at WCC and “hop the fence”. If you are attending PtP, please plan on parking at the venue. th Speaking of parking - this is the time of the year when activity in the parking lots really picks up. Please hang up the phone, slow down, use caution and follow the proper traffic flow. Parents with small children please hold hands. The threat of a tragedy is always present. Also, parking in front of the clubhouse requires displaying a valid ADA permit. The Pool and Poolside Café will officially open for Memorial Weekend, Saturday, May 24th at 10:00 a.m. We will finish off the long holiday weekend with a Memorial Day pool party on Monday afternoon. Unofficially, if the weather and all other conditions are favorable, we may feature a special “pre-opening” swim party on Friday the 23 . Watch your email and our Social Media platforms for more information as the day draws closer. rd As activity picks up, a gentle reminder that the voice use of cellular telephones is prohibited at the Club. Please keep your device in silent or vibrate mode. While it may be used for texting or checking email, please use discretion when choosing where and when you use your phone. If you are observed using a cell phone inappropriately, we will remind you of the policy and ask you to discontinue use. Members are urged to inform their guests of this expectation. It also seems necessary to note that the “Keep it quiet” expectation extends to the recent trend of using your electronic device to drive blue-tooth speakers to listen to music while participating in club activities. If you really must have your tunes with you while at the club, ear buds are permitted. As you can see, there is more going on around your club than ever before. Hopefully you will have an opportunity to enjoy the offerings. As always, thanks for reading, and I’ll see you at the Club! Phil Iannelli
