General Manager's Update

By George Barrett, CCM

The summer is flying by quickly and what fun we have had, but it is only the beginning!

We all enjoyed the Mens' Member-Guest Golf Tournament of June, the Super 4th of July celebration with its golf cart floats and the other festivities and we thank all of the members who supported the Annual Hospice Golf Tournament, auction and dinner.

However, the Best is ahead, here is an overview, but stay tuned to the WLCC BB as we implement each item below.

First, mark your calendar for the Annual Margaritaville Party on August 16, with entertainment by The Crew Band and of course, the famous Caribbean Buffet, all for $42 per person. It will be fun and the Margaritas will be flowing. Don’t miss out, sign up early before it’s too late to get a reservation.

Starting Thursday August 7
Speaking of fun, we will add another Pub Night each week with that famous free glass of house wine to compliment your dinners on Thursday, so if you miss Pub Night on Tuesdays, you can still come on Thursday.

Starting Wednesday August 6
We have previously introduced some items to beef up Wednesdays, which have traditionally been the Club’s slowest night. We are still full steam ahead on Game Nights, Cigar Nights, and so forth, but we have come up with yet a new addition for Wednesdays.

The regular menu will not be offered on Wednesdays, but we will feature a Pizza to Go Night with $5, $10 and $15 pizzas, as well as with Fish n’ Chips at $9.95 and Fried Chicken. The Bar Menu will also be available. We hope this new program will increase sales on Wednesday nights.

The Lounge of course has a Drink Special every day, but this will compliment the usual Wednesday deal of ½ price on all drinks. The dining room will be closed, but The Lounge will be open, as well as the deck for the over flow, or members who wish to eat outside, and of course, we will have the Take Out option.

Upgrading The Bar Menu: Wednesdays in August
The Bar Menu will expand again to include our famous Wolf Laurel Burger. We are introducing several new items including a Reuben, Steak & Cheese Sub, plus Pizza and Chicken in the Basket.

To keep you informed I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the upcoming General Membership meeting on September 13th at 9:00 AM in the Club’s dining room. This is an important meeting to approve several necessary bylaw changes that will keep our bylaws current and in tune with our changing times.

Also a great President’s Cocktail Party and Dinner Show is planned for September 20th…so put it on your calendar. The Dinner show will feature Stephen Freeman, “Echoes of a Legend”, who does the best rendition of Elvis I have seen. He looks like Elvis and definitely sings like Elvis. It will be an exciting Dinner Show that will follow the gathering with the President.

Have a great month.

PS: If you haven’t heard, The Board approved our new corkage fee of $10, replacing the old $20 fee. So if you’re in the mood, bring in your own bottle of great wine, we will be glad to assist.

PPS: Please be kind to SART, this coming Sunday at 5:30 PM.
