From the General Manager
We are going to have a new entertainer at the
club this month. Roy Stewart, who plays a
variety of instruments, will be here on 3/29.
Roy played for a private party here at the club
and many members asked to book him again.
The other Wednesday nights will have some of
our favorites returning to SPCC. 3/1/17 will
be Mike Ballistini, 3/8/17 will be The Sequel
Band. We look forward to having Pat Henry
here on the 15th, which is also the Prime Rib
buffet, and Katie Guglielmo on 3/22/17.
The seafood buffet on the last Friday of the
month will feature the music from
Tom Arnold.

Please join me in welcoming our newest members to the club! I am happy to report that our year-
round memberships have picked up this year. We still have a few months remaining in our winter seasonal membership and I would love to have a few more members come on board and be ready for
next season, so please continue to mention to all your friends that there is still time to get into the club
for this season.
Summer is quickly approaching and we are in the process of organizing our swim team and camps so
plan on registering your children and grand-children this summer. The Swim Team Kick-Off Meeting
Date and the New Coach will be announced shortly, but you can mark your calendars for the first meet
on May 13th. Our Camp will begin right after Memorial Day, on Tuesday, May 30th.
Our weddings and events are steadily booking, so if you have a date in mind for an event call me right
away so I can get you on the calendar. I represented the Club at the Bridal Show at the Coliseum a
few weeks ago and saw a few familiar faces there. Remember, if you host your event at your club
there is a discount on the facility fee.
Don’t forget to check out the club on facebook, instagram, and twitter. You’ll also see some of our
promo pieces on you tube as well. If you have any videos or photos you would like to post please
send them to me as I would love to add them to our social media and share with other members.
And as always, please feel free to contact me anytime with questions or concerns, and I will do all I
can to ensure you enjoy your membership to the fullest.
See you at the Club,
Christy Dollins, Membership Director

Congratulations to Brant Bailey and Suzanne Ratledge for winning the 2017 Mixed Doubles Club Championships, their first mixed doubles title.
