Social Committee

The Board of Directors has asked us to provide the membership and their families with some social activities to enjoy at the club. We would like your input on any "Adult Only" or "Family Oriented" functions that you would participate in if the club organized the activities.

Understanding that most families have busy schedules and vacation plans, we will try and have to have these functions on dates and times to include as many members as possible.
