Dear Fellow Members,

Please feel free to bring potential members to our Member’s Reception on Thursday, March 16th, Thursday, April 20th or Thursday, May 18th. Potential members are complimentary guests and will be given a tour of the Clubhouse. Our staff will assist you in these endeavors and can provide applications as well.
We will continue to run our two-for-one entrée incentive on Wednesdays and seafood specials on Thursdays. We do hope that you will stop in and try some new items or stick to your favorites.
We are delighted to offer new menu items to our Club favorite, Café Pique Nique, designed and conceptualized by Jacques Pépin, noted cookbook author, television personality and master chef. The menu features a selection of items that are sure to tantalize your palate, served in a lively French bistro setting. We welcome members to experience our spotlighted dish of the month: House-Baked Quiche du Jour with baby lettuce salad, and grape tomatoes.
The events committee is putting together a variety of events that will offer something for everyone. We hope to see you soon and often in the Club.
All best wishes,
