President's Ponderings

 

 

In the continuing saga of things that make me laugh this summer ... First, last week mere seconds after I gave the signal to send the newsletter out, I went downstairs to check out movie night. (Really, I wanted to test the popcorn from the new popcorn machine, but I digress...) It seems that Nemo had turned into Lindsay Lohen and the night's attraction was now the Parent Trap. Another good movie choice and another good night at the club! Second, today I walked to the beach from home (trying to counteract the popcorn and all these tastings and good dinners), and as I crossed the parking lot from the far end, I was approached by one of our staff asking if I was a member and then verifying my membership by asking for my member number. The attendant proved that it is always better to be safe than sorry, and this example shows that we all must follow the rules!

Board's Briefs

The weekend will begin early with a wine tasting on Thursday night featuring Frei Brothers Wine. This wonderful evening will take place in the upstairs dining room and a light menu will be available after the tasting.

 

On Friday night, we will have our Friday Night Fires. Come down and enjoy a beautiful evening by the shore.

 

On Saturday night, back by popular demand, will be the Baha Brothers! This is a wild night of fun, so come in your best parrot head gear! Kevin will be offering many different prizes throughout the evening and an amazing Caribbean fare (more details in the food section) to make this a night that can't be missed!

 

We will conclude the weekend Sunday with beach gymnastics for the kids from 1PM-2PM and Sips and Dips for the adults from 4PM-5PM.

 

Looking ahead, we will be hosting another Vendor Night coupled with a wine and spirit tasting on Friday August 9th. Grab a Fire Pit to finish off the evening! On Saturday August 10th, we will listen to the amazing band Lola and the Pallbearers. During the day, Kara will be making many different crafts with the kids from 1PM-3PM in the Dugout. On Sunday August 11th, the Foreverly Brotherly will be on the beach performing from 1PM-5PM. Sips and Dips will be from 4PM-5PM, featuring a Raw Bar for an additional cost. This will be a fun day since many will have Monday off for VJ Day!

Manager's Minutes
 

Ok...What is up with this weather?!?  Well, it won't stop the GBC from having Fun!  We have a water safety clinic scheduled for children and adults on Saturday, August 3rd, that will teach children and adults what to do in case of an undertow, rip tide, and what it means when the life guard blows the whistle, plus much more. A Paddle Board Clinic will be held on August 10th. How fun will that be?  Both will be held from 10am to 11am.

We are also hosting another vendor's night on August 9th, so if you know of anyone who would like to participate let me know!  Right now we have the Olive Oil Man, the Bag Lady, Salad Dressing Guy, plus our own GBC table, so don't miss out!

 

Just a friendly reminder, there is no smoking on the grounds of the GBC....Thank You!

So just remember the next time someone reminds you that shoes are required on the deck or in the dining room or asks you for your number that it happens to ALL of us!!  
  
Until Next Time,
