Greetings!
 

Greetings!

 

Our second vendor and tasting night is Friday.  Come on by for a Wine and Spirit Tasting; a GBC Merchandise table will be set-up again; meet the Olive Oil man;  learn about SUPboards (if you don't know what these are, come and find out!); taste some salad dressing; and get a new bag and some jewelry too!  

 

Happy Reading!

President's Ponderings

 

Our GBC merchandise is in!!   It is a shame that Saturday morning was so miserable because everyone missed me showing off our wares as I waltzed into the board meeting in my GBC hat, GBC polo, and carrying my GBC sweatshirt.  I was styling and so too can you; just see Carrie and/or Rorey to place your order.  You can use your membership number like a credit card to pay for the items.  However, clothes are not food, and, therefore, do not count against the food minimum.   We apologize for any confusion related to that issue.  

Board's Briefs
   

The last board meeting was on Saturday, August 3rd.  Items discussed were

* Each board member will work on updating his/her job description and commission statements for their committees before the next board meeting.

* Each board member and committee will also create a list of tasks and due dates, so a master calendar can be created.

* Financial statements are tracking in line with the budgeted figures for the year.

* The speaker system will be installed in the Dugout and outside the clubhouse this week.

* Amenities will be added to the Dugout craft area/changing room to make it more hospitable for bridal parties.

* Charitable donation for a week's membership was approved. (Last year's winner liked the prize so much that they are joining this year as dinner members and are considering joining next year as full members.  Welcome - if you are reading this!!)

* Each committee will be working on their budgets and submitting to the finance committee by August 23rd.

Entertainment's Events

 

 

Well, another great weekend is on the docket!!!  We will start things off Friday with another Vendor Night and a Wine/Spirit Tasting!  This event was such a big hit the last time we thought, Why not do it again? so get there early.  The night will feature the tastings and shopping from 6pm-7Ppm.  Then, it will be followed up with a fabulous dinner and fire pits, starting at 7pm.  

 

Saturday has something for everyone.  Kara will be in the dugout with Krafts for the kids from 1pm-3pm.  We will finish things off with the band Lola and the Pallbearers.  This band features light rock, including the top 40. The lead singer has an amazing voice and Kevin has planned another great meal, so you don't want to miss out! 

 

On Sunday, we will have the Foreverly Brothers on the beach from 1pm-5pm.  Kevin will also be featuring a Raw Bar all day to make the long weekend extra special.  The day will be capped off with Sips and Dips from 4pm-5pm.

 

Looking ahead, make your reservations for Dancing Under the Stars on Saturday the 17th.  This night is a summer favorite with the dance floor on the beach and an amazing meal to make the night complete!  On the 18th, we will once again have Beach Soccer for the kids from 1pm-2pm. Lastly, on the 21st, we will have another Movie/Karaoke Night following the Family Italian Dinner.  This night was so much fun the last time, so make sure you mark your calendars!

Building's Blurbs

 

 

The dugout and beach speaker systems are being installed this week.  

 

And the winner is....Thirty-one suggestions for the Dugout bar area were given to the judging committee for selection of the winning name.  The judging committee received the suggestions exactly as they were received (and any explanation or background provided),excluding the submitter's name.  The winning name was truly a blind selection.  (Because I know you were going to ask how it was done!)  Hands down option #8 The Sandbar submitted by Ann Cibelli was the winner.  Her prize is two-fold - she gets to paint the name on the wall (because I know she can), but she will also get an actual prize to take home.

 

Moving on to our August Contest - This will be a photo contest of scenes from the local area. The winning shots will be framed and hung in the dugout this fall and will be on display starting next season.  Again, there is no age minimum, age limit, nor limit to the number of entries you can make.  To enter, get out your camera and take some local pictures (the rocks, the club itself, the light house, sand, rocks, the marsh, etc., etc.), then send the electronic file(s) to president@galileebeachclub.com.  We will have several winners in this contest so fell free to enter multiple times throughout the month.  All entries must be received by Friday, August 30th, and the winners will be announced at the end of the summer BBQ.  The selection will also be done blindly by our judging committee.  Good luck!
