GENERAL MANAGER’S MESSAGE | PHIL IANNELLI
Christine Jordan Director of Clubhouse Operations MANAGEMENT TEAM
Autumnal Greetings
As we turn the calendar to November, there is a definite change from outdoor activity to that of a more indoor nature. Accordingly, we modify our services to keep pace. The golf course food stands are no longer staffed, and the Grill/Tavern dining patio is closed for the season. November also marks the time when Monday golf services are curtailed. The bag room and golf carts are staffed Tuesday through Sunday. Although a golf course will remain open for foot traffic on Mondays, there will be no access to your equipment. If you are planning to play at home or away on a Monday, please arrange to get your bag over the weekend. Golf does have one final event on the calendar – our annual “Turkey Shoot” scheduled for Saturday the 22nd. Then, the South Course will officially close for the season the Monday after Thanksgiving (December 1st). Speaking of Thanksgiving . . . each year more of you celebrate yours with us. Perhaps it is due to the following reasons: We do all the shopping, cooking and cleaning. We have a wonderfully stocked bar and an outstanding wine list. We never run out of silverware and always have enough chairs. Our hours of service allow you to come at a time most convenient for your family. Our traditional, yet exquisite menu, served buffet style, offers excellent variety. Those reasons alone make it hard to justify going to all the effort yourself. When coupled with the fact that we also pack up extra portions of turkey and traditional trimmings for you to enjoy at home during half time of the “late game”, it is easy to understand why attendance grows each year. Make your reservation today. Some of you believe that Thanksgiving is best spent at home. We understand. That is why we also offer the full “take-out” Thanksgiving experience that so many members truly enjoy. The comment we most frequently receive from members who utilize this offering is “I may never cook Thanksgiving Dinner again!” That’s a wonderful compliment. Thank-you. By now you should have received the link to access the complete 2025 Holiday schedule. Please review it carefully and make your plans for attending. Because Thanksgiving is late this year a few of our holiday activities are scheduled before the decorations are in place. Additionally, several events are already filled and have transitioned to a waiting list, but don’t let that deter you! Cancellations always occur and we usually have good success in working through the queue. It seems hard to believe, but a new year is approaching very quickly. If your plans for 2026 include hosting a private party or event, we hope that you’ll consider having it at your club. This type of activity plays an important part in the accomplishment of our annual financial goals. We are proud of our outstanding reputation for organizing and conducting events that consistently exceed the expectations of the host and their guests. Being able to entertain at your club in this manner is truly one of the privileges of membership. You’ll never get the commitment and personal attention that we provide anywhere else, and we believe it is an honor for us to be entrusted with your special day. Please note that the Annual Election of the Stockholders will be held Thursday, November 20th at 5:30 p.m. in the Ballroom. If you haven’t already done so, please complete and return your proxy card (either electronically or paper) prior to that date. As always, cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served following the meeting.
