Fredericksburg Country Club September/October 2015 2015 FCC Buccaneers Swim Team From the Desk of Joe Botkin Another summer has just flown by and when you read this newsletter, our children will be back in school. But the great fun continues at the Fredericksburg Country Club. We have many great activities this fall including the FCC Golf Championships September 5, 6 & 7th, Family Golf Day on September 19th, the ongoing Junior Golf Program, and the FCC Golf Awards event October 10th. Down at the tennis courts, Rob and Whitney have the Junior Club Championships slated for October 25th. We also have many fall junior tennis programs in place, as well as, cardio tennis to keep everyone in shape this winter. If you haven’t stopped by the Rappahannock Room for lunch or dinner in recent months, not only are you missing out on great food, great wine and our wonderful country club service, you are also missing the fabulous art display by local artist Betsy Glassie. She has kindly loaned us her masterpieces for us to enjoy and they are for sale at reasonable prices. So please make a point to swing by the Rappahannock Room to enjoy her superb artwork. 2015 Swim Team High Point Winners (continued on page 2) 2015 Most Improved Winners Fredericksburg Country Club 2 September/October 2015 From the Desk of Joe Botkin (continued from front page) One of our highlights this fall is the addition of Nancy Dominesey, our new Fitness Trainer who has just recently come on board.

As you know, no other club in the Fredericksburg area offers our blend of historic ambiance, recreational sports, delightful social events, and exceptional service. Our events at the Club mark the seasons and shape the traditions for generations of family members.

The only thing you really need to do when you come to the Club is relax and enjoy. As the Club continues to grow, it is vitally important that we all stick together, member and employees alike, with one goal in mind, to make the Fredericksburg Country Club the best sports and dining facility in Fredericksburg.

Like your Club on Facebook! www.facebook.com/ FredericksburgCountryClub 4 Fredericksburg Country Club The Country Club Ambassador Program The Club is looking for current members who would like to join our Ambassador Program. This program will be a fun and exciting way to meet new friends by welcoming new members to our Club. The Membership Committee is looking for people from all member classifications to help us greet and make new members feel welcome. The Club is a great place to benefit from a lifetime of leisure and recreation. We all want to enjoy the time that we spend at the Club and one of the most difficult things to do as a new member is to find a place to “fit in”, to make new friends and to experience the camaraderie of a great golf game or tennis match followed by drinks in the 19th Hole and a great meal in the Rappahannock Room. Introducing new members to “well-established” members will give the new member an opportunity to meet new people and feel good about joining the Club. It also gives the well-established member an opportunity to make new friends. We are looking for couples with young children, families with teens, empty nesters, seniors, singles, golf or tennis groups looking for someone to join in their group, swim team families, bridge groups, dining groups, etc. Your only obligation will be to enhance your own circle of friends. This is a great opportunity to escape from the day-to-day world and help welcome a new member to the Club. If you are interested in joining our group of ambassadors, please contact Frank Dena at 540-373-8781 Ext. 15. September/October 2015 Personal Fitness Training at FCC Fredericksburg Country Club is excited to announce that Personal Training is now available at our Fitness Center – second floor of the Tennis/Fitness Center.

Any guest of a member is limited to using the tennis facilities 6 times per calendar year with a maximum of one visit per month for guests that reside within 50 miles of the Club. This does not mean 6 times per year per each sponsoring member. Member-Guest Tournament play does not count towards the 6 time guest limit. Any guest of a member who resides outside a 50 mile radius of the Club is not restricted to the amount of times they may use the tennis facilities. It is the responsibility of the member to register their guest(s) with the Tennis Pro or on the Guest Registration Sheet at the Tennis Pro Shop before play begins. A fee as posted will be charged for an unregistered guest. Any guest residing within a 50 mile radius of the Club must complete a Guest Registration Form. We will have many opportunities 15 Exceptions Contract tennis holders are allowed to bring in a guest 6 times per calendar year as a sub for contract tennis. The “once a month” stipulation does not apply, but these visits will count toward the 6 times per year total as described above.
