Charbonneau Clubhouse
By CLARA HOWELL
I
t’s no secret that Charbonneau
Country Club is bustling with
activities. But not all those ac-
tivities run on a traditional 8
a.m. to 5 p.m. schedule — some-
times there are evening and week-
end events. That’s where the moni-
tors come in.
The CCC monitors are a team of
three — Jan Dawson, Jerry Ricken
and Dianne McMichael — that make
sure events and activities that happen
after weekdays at 5 p.m. and week-
ends run smoothly. They also help out
around the Country Club doing
chores like calling people when their
gym fees are due.
At events, the three make sure the
doors are unlocked and locked, and
the alarm is set. They also oversee
the cleaning list and make sure peo-
ple pick up after themselves.
“I think that it’s fun to be here and
see the people — people that we know
and meet people that we don’t know
— and just to be here for events (and)
see how weddings go,” McMichael
said.
Events the team of three might
oversee include weddings, family re-
unions, golf dinners, birthday parties
and memorials.
“Our job is if we have a wedding or
any kind of event, that we go through
and make sure that the clubhouse is
clean and just like it was when they
came in,” Dawson said. “Sometimes
that’s not easy after they’ve been
here for 10 hours or so and they’ve all
been drinking.”

ville for the last two years but resided
in Charbonneau for more than 30

years, has worked as a monitor for
about eight or nine years. McMichael
has lived in Charbonneau for 21 years
and has been a monitor for four and a
half years and Ricken has been a
monitor for eight months and has
called Charbonneau home for the last
15 years.
“They asked my wife to do it and
she came home and said, ‘I don’t
know if I want to do that,’ and I said,
‘I’ll do it,’” Ricken said, adding that he
enjoys the job because it occupies his
time.
Summertime tends to be busier and
each monitor works about 18 to 24
hours a month, though some months
have no evening and weekend events
and winter time is usually slower.
“These long days really do get
hard,” McMicheal said. “None of us
are kids.”
