This month at the top of the “Thank You” list is Marco Masini. Marco with help from Billy and Eddie built the room on the north wall of the Bingo Room to permanently hold the Bingo Calling and Computer Equipment. They also painted the north wall in a lighter color. There is still some minor work to be done with doors, molding, and flooring, but for the most part it is done. Thanks Marco, Billy, Eddie, and anyone else who helped complete the project.

The new phone system is still not completely being used to the system’s full capacity. One of the reasons is training and other priorities. We still need to train our employees how to update the system message information. We are retrieving messages in the office but I’m sure that we are not doing it 100% in all areas. Be patient and we will get this system working better than it is now.

The next major projects at the club are still the parking lot and the installation of the security cameras. We have had some minor thefts at the club and at least with cameras we will see when and how this is happening. The thefts were in the Bocce court area and an outside area not covered by our security system.

The weather is getting warmer, winter visitors are leaving, and daytime hours are longer. The results of all of this usually are a decrease in the club’s revenues. I ask that you come to the club and enjoy yourself. I am still waiting for some of you to put your ideas in writing to generate more activities at the club for all of our members to enjoy. We have a great facility. And with the exceptions of Bocce, shuffleboard, and cards there are no activities that bring people to the club. There are still days and room for other activities. Put your thinking caps on and come up with some new ideas to bring members and their guests to the club. Anything with an “Italian” theme would be great. Yes, I know that we have food, entertainment, and monthly dances. But what else can we do?

Spread love and happiness. God Bless. Happy Mother’s Day.
