Greetings from YOUR Rear Commodore
Here we are , already 2 months into the year . There have been several events in February for members to participate in . We had a fun filled Super Bowl party featuring a fine assortment of pot luck foods , giveaways courtesy of Mike Kelly ( Beach Liquors ) and a suspenseful game to watch . That was followed by a Valentine ’ s Dinner with a fine menu and accompanying live dinner music . Kudos to Shari Seaton and her helpers : Jackie Chapman ( desserts along with Shari ), Cindy Barber , Wini Jimmerson and David Seaton .
Coming up ( as I write this ) will be a Mardi Gras celebration in the lounge on Feb 28 complete with red beans & rice , gumbo and king cake . Hope you got there ! Also in March , is St . Patrick ’ s Day on the 17th . Put on your best green garb and show your Irish side for a day . This is closely followed on Tuesday the 21st with our Sock Burning rites to burn those winter socks & usher in Spring . Bring socks to burn , get a fair weather blessing from the Flip Flop Fairy and bring donations for PAWS . Also , we are continuing to feature live music in the lounge on First Fridays . What a great opportunity to kick back after dinner and enjoy some dancing and interchange with other club members .
I want to thank those that have stepped up to help me this year . We have a strong and enthusiastic Entertainment Committee . Additionally , Dr . Lynne Reynolds continues to organize past records , data & photos to preserve our club history . P / C Skip Harrington provides a comprehensive orientation for our new members and Cindy Barber is doing a masterful job of keeping us informed of upcoming events .
So what ’ s missing ? YOU ! Attendance has waned at our special events and even just evenings in the lounge . Is there something we could do better ? Different offerings ? Our committee is open to all suggestions . Help us out ! We want to see you at the club – YOUR Club .
