Happy Holidays !
Leticia Rice General Manager Balboa Bay Club
I know it sounds cliché , but I love this time of year ! The lights , the decorations , all the fun events and , I ’ m sorry but I started listening to holiday music the day after Halloween . Don ’ t even get me started on how many Hallmark Christmas movies I ’ ve already watched . The holidays can bring out the best in people but for many it can also be very stressful . I challenge you all to take things as they come . The presents don ’ t have to be expertly wrapped ; they just have to conceal and hey , that ’ s what gift bags are for right ? The cookies don ’ t have to win a bakeoff , as long as they are made with love ( and are edible ) it ’ s a win ! The most important thing to remember is to make time to enjoy family and friends .
An even better way to enjoy the holidays stress free is to let your Bay Club family help you destress . Of course , the best way to destress is by booking yourself a treatment in the spa . While you ’ re there , pick up some great gifts for those still on your shopping list . Holly Monson , our Spa Manager , has filled the shop with great holiday gifts that will leave you feeling pampered head to toe . Not to mention all the great logo wear she just got in !
Members Grill is always ready to take care of the cooking for you whether it ’ s a quick lunch or dinner for the whole family . They are also happy to host you for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day .
I look forward to welcoming all our members at our Holiday Member Mixer on December 5th , as well as all our other upcoming events . Don ’ t forget Boat Parade is Wednesday , December 14th - Sunday , December 18th and be sure to sign the kids up for our Winter Kids Camp . Ashley Pitcock , our Director of Recreation , has scheduled three weeks of holiday fun to entertain the kids and keep them busy during the holiday break !
As we move out of 2022 and into a year of celebrations for our 75th Anniversary I want to thank all our Bay Club families for their continued support of the club . It is our pleasure and privilege to serve you . On behalf of myself and the entire Club team we look forward to bringing you a wonderful holiday season and a memorable New Year !
Lastly , I leave you with my Christmas wish for you . May you always have time to count your blessings and when you get the chance to pay it forward , I hope you take it .
