CHARLESTON COUNTRY CLUB
February 2014
PRESIDENT’S CORNER
We are anticipating a great year at the CCC. Three new committees have been
formed and are working very hard to bring about positive changes to the Club. The
Membership Committee is being chaired by Bob Oetting and they are working diligently
on planning a successful membership drive on April 1. The Entertainment Committee is
being chaired by Jason Wavering and if you came out to the New Year’s Eve Party, you
have already experienced their enthusiasm for bringing great entertainment ideas to the
membership. Lastly is the Kitchen and Bar Committee chaired by John Floyd. This
Committee is specifically looking at ways to please the members with food and beverage selections that will encourage members to choose the Club. They are also busy
with cost analysis and labor management to provide the best experience for our members while holding to the budget. Many other departments are busy putting their Committees together for the New Year. Thank you to all the members who are generously
donating their time to make this Club “the place to be.”
We finished the year with a cash surplus of $63,025.08. As you have noticed, if you
have been out to the Club, the gaming machines are installed and the Club will receive
a percentage of the revenue on the 1st and 15th of every month. As the resources are
made available to us, we will continue to make the remodeling changes to the sun porch
to allow for a comfortable and inviting area to relax and enjoy the Club.

COURSE CORNER
The course has been snow covered most of the winter. During the next
thaw we will protect the greens again from disease. Both grey and pink
snow molds can exist this time of year especially when it is wet. We tend
to show the pink variety more and it has been noted with no snow cover at
all. The course has been clear of both so far this season and we will continue to keep the turf protected.
We are also finalizing equipment repairs and will be moving on to
some fabrication for the upcoming season. Painting accessories and just
simple cleanup are all important things we do through the wintertime. Agronomic and pesticide management planning will also occur.
All attempts to keep the parking and walking areas clear and safe have
been made. Please be careful when walking or driving in these areas.
Thank you for your patience and we look forward the seeing everyone in
the 2014 golf season!

members, the Club will be the place to be on Super Bowl Sunday! You

team on Sunday, February 2nd! Pre-game festivities will begin at the
Club at 4:00 with appetizers, and the bartenders will be ready to take your
drink orders. Come out and join in on the fun!

Valentine’s Day falls on Friday, February 14th this year, and we have a special
evening planned for our members! We have reserved a horse drawn carriage
(weather permitting) for the evening with rides beginning at 5:00. The carriage will
seat 6-8 people and will run in 20 minute intervals, and blankets will be provided to
keep you warm. A special dinner that you will not want to miss is being planned; we
will be offering a dinner for two for only $34.99 and will include your choice of a 4oz.
Steak filet or smothered chicken with a baked potato, vegetable, and your choice
from one of three desserts. We also have a newlywed game planned for a mix of
newlywed and no-so-newlywed couples. It will be hosted by our Club president and
is sure to be a lot of fun! Reservations will be required for the carriage ride and dinner, and these can be made by calling the Club at 345-6603. Make your reservations
early and plan to join us for a romantic and humorous evening!
