FU O CO AT T HE PO O L
From the Desk of Cari Wheatley There is a buzz around town regarding your Club! DAC is kicking off the summer with an influx of tours and application submissions. If you have friends that would be a good fit for the Club, send them my way! Your Club’s calendar is full of activities for every age and interest, and participation continues to grow. We are excited to create and execute memorable times for you, your family, and your guests! A few things I am looking forward to this summer: • S’mores Night at the Pool: Have S’more fun together every Tuesday night at the pool! Enjoy complimentary S’mores from 5:00-8:00 pm • FiTennis: The newest addition to summer at the Club is FiTennis! Wednesdays 6:30-8:00 AM, come work on your footwork, agility, strength and conditioning with Ashley Gellert and a Tennis Pro. Flip to page 8 for more details! • Back to School Bash: Head over to ClubKids on August 6th for our Back-to-School Bash! Celebrate the new school year by showing off your dance moves to a DJ playing the hottest jams, a delicious buffet, and lots of games! It is going to be a great summer at DAC, and we look forward to seeing you around the Club! Cheers,

I saw an opportunity this summer with our main dining room under renovation. The concept for the novel DAC Show Kitchen is fast-casual. I used this idea and created a pop-up restaurant at the Pool this summer, naming it “Fuoco at the Pool”. We will only be using wood as our heat source for all our preparation on the menu. At the Pool pop-up kitchen you will find an Argentinian inspired grill and wood-fire pizza ovens. Our pizzas are house-made from start to finish and bake in about 90 seconds. You will also find Grab and Go Salads with fresh proteins cooked to order and finished right in front of you. Our goal is 10 minutes or less in cooking time. This is a self-service location, you will place and pick up your order at the outdoor kitchen. Our times for pop-up experiences at the Pool is very fluid. It all depends on the weather and the Club activity. This allows us to take care of the membership as a whole, when needed. We will be open Tuesdays-Saturdays at noon and wrapping up at 8:00 pm. On Wednesdays and Fridays we will close the pop-up kitchen at 4:30 pm so everyone can enjoy Family Night and Music on the Lawn. On Sundays, we will open later in the afternoon, once our Sunday Brunch Buffet wraps up. The culinary staff is excited to serve you with this new experience, and even if you don’t swim you should stop by and see what is happening! Happy Eating!
