From the Food and Beverage Director Thank you to all who joined us for our Tuscan Wine Dinner last month. It was a really fun night with an enthusiastic speaker (Adam Breske), great wines, and way too much good food!! As I mentioned at the dinner, the wine selections we tasted that night will be available in the restaurant while quantities last! Look for information about our winter wine event in an upcoming newsletter. I also hope everyone had a great time at the Halloween festivities this year. We had a great turnout for the Halloween Carnival, Trunk or Treat, and our Family Halloween Buffet. We begin our winter hours in the restaurant on November 1. We will be closed on Mondays, and will stop seating at 8:00 p.m. on Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. We will continue to be open until 9:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Be sure to come down to the Club to enjoy our continued weekly specials: Tuesday night “Pastabilities”, “Wine Down Wednesdays”, Thursday night “Burgers and Brews”, and “Homestyle Supper Sunday”. Finish your meal any night of the week with one of Pastry Chef Jyl Robinson’s fabulous desserts! Her freshly-made selections change weekly, so you can always try something new and delicious! Please call to make your reservations, or if you have any questions about menu options any given day. The holidays are always a fun time of the year, and there will be plenty going on at BCC. Chef Morgan will be offering kids Thanksgiving cooking classes, and we are offering Thanksgiving Day pick-up of food orders again this year. (See menu on page nine). We are taking reservations for Lobsterfest (Dec. 4) with seating times available from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. Finally, be sure to sign up for the FREE member Holiday Social on December 9 and our Santa Brunch on December 14. Information on all of these events can be found in this newsletter, or by calling the restaurant at 540-552-8426. Jennifer Morgan Food and Beverage Director [email protected] Holiday Club Closure One of the challenges of being open year round is having “down time” to take care of maintenance tasks such as painting a room, cleaning public area carpets, overhauling kitchen equipment, etc. Tuesday, December 9 | 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. BCC Clubhouse Come to the Club and enjoy our annual FREE Holiday Party!
