I think summer might actually be here, don’t think this June was as bad as last year but I was getting concerned. School is out, the pool is open, and I have already mowed the lawn a couple of times, think it is time to get the frozen margarita blender up and running!
It is a rule of thumb at the club that the winter months are our slower months, a lot of our members have gone to warmer climates and for those that stay to brave the New England winter it is just easier to stay home and keep safe and warm instead of braving the elements. As spring kicks in members come back north and people start to venture out and the club starts to get back to business as usual. This year that hasn’t really happened, members haven’t been using the club as much as they usually do although it was pointed out that our bar business is right where it usually is, good to see our members still like to have a good time ! Our members are our lifeblood, as I have said before, this is your club and the more you utilize it the stronger we will be.
I realize that we need to give you a reason to come to the club more often and I will be working with Cindy and Jonathan in order to do just that. We will be working on a seasonal menu featuring fresh seafood, light pasta dishes, summer salads, and the like. I also ask anyone with ideas of what you would like to see on the menu to let us know and we can incorporate those ideas into our menu planning. My email is bmarkey@barnet.com and ask for any suggestions on food, activities you would like to see at the club, any comments, positive and negative, so we can better serve you.
We have also started emailing members weekend menus and will also start sending weekly specials, this way you can see exactly what is being served and hopefully strikes your fancy to come on down. If you would like to be on this list please give Cindy your email address.
We have some great activities lined up for the summer, the two biggies being the Clamboil and the Steak and Bake.
I hope everyone makes it a point to attend. For those of you who haven’t been able to take advantage of the club as much as you would like, you should make a point to attend these two events. We always get a good turn out and it would be a good opportunity to socialize with other members. I would also put this same invitation out to our new members to come down and meet other club members. We are constantly on the lookout for new members and will be planning a couple of open houses during the balance of the year. If you know of somebody who would make a good addition you don’t have to wait for the open house, bring them down and show them around so they can see all the club has to offer. I can’t say it enough; this is a great club with great people so everyone please take advantage of what your club has to offer. See you around the club.
