Greetings!

It’s that time of year again. Football, cooler temperatures and fall leaves will soon be here. Remember, we offer offsite catering, so keep us in mind for all your tailgating parties or other events you may have. We do ask you call us ahead to place your order. The PC Café is also open Monday – Friday from 7:30am-2pm for breakfast and lunch. If you have a business meeting, they can prepare plate lunches, salads, breakfast biscuits, cinnamon rolls and more. We make it very convenient, just call us ahead of time. If you haven’t been there yet it’s located in the lobby of Park Towers, 400 E. Kaliste Saloom.

If you recently joined the Club in the last 4 months I would love to meet you! Next time you are in the Club for lunch, please ask for me. Every month we have a new member orientation. I realize that sometimes things come up and you can’t always attend. But please know that we believe this orientation adds value to your membership. The orientations are a great way for us to develop a relationship with you, get your questions answered and meet other new members as well as the management staff. As you know, we are a Private Club and are by invitation only. I’m asking for your help in growing our Club into the next decade. Please send me names of your family members, friends or business associates who you think would enjoy the privilege and exclusiveness our Club offers its members. I can be reached by calling 232-Club ext. 202 or email me at [email protected]

Hope to see you soon at the Club!

WHY DO I LOVE MY CLUB: We are so thankful to be members of the club for a number of reasons, but mostly because the family activities that occur around each of the holidays have truly become eagerly anticipated traditions for our family (4217). These events are equally enjoyed by the children and adults alike. This was a factor in our decision to join the club, but words can not convey what these traditions have become to us. The club has far exceeded our expectations. — Cy Olivier
