General Manager’s Report
Unbelievably another summer has come and gone,
and over the past several months we were able to
accommodate many members as they hosted birthday
parties, anniversaries and weddings. Incidentally, we
still have some select wedding dates available for next
year and it’s never too early to reserve your place for
next year’s Fourth of July festivities.
One of the good things about the close of summer is
that autumn is such a wonderful season on the Cape.
The Captain’s Table is the perfect spot to enjoy the
beautiful weather and scenery. We plan to keep the
deck open through October, and we’ll keep it warm
with heaters as cooler weather approaches. Please
make an effort to come down for lunch or dinner while
the deck is still open.
Look carefully at this entire newsletter. This year
we’re hosting many opportunities for you to enjoy
at your Club. We’ve planned a wine lecture series,
a wine dinner, beer lectures, an Oktoberfest beer
dinner, dinner dances, dinner with movie, as well as
three jazz brunches and a host of other good times.
This is a great Club, get involved and have fun.
And while we’re talking about parties, remember the
Captain’s Table this holiday season. It’s never too
early to plan your holiday festivities. Please call Kati
at (508) 775-9331 and find out how you can host
a special party for your family, friends or business
associates.
Lastly, don’t forget that beginning October 12th
from 4:30pm to closing we begin the three course
“Captain’s Pick” specials and our fabulous weekly
“Prime Rib Night” returns Wednesday, October 14th.
I hope we’ll be seeing you soon at the Captain’s Table.
