A N O T E FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER/COO

T

ouchdown! As we get started for the New Year, there are so many things to look forward to in the upcoming weeks and to celebrate in the months to follow. First, it is with great pleasure for me to announce that the staff has gone above and beyond and surpassed the budget for 2016! Please help me in thanking and congratulating every single person on our staff for their continued efforts and determination in the success of Deering Bay. What better way to celebrate than by joining us this Sunday, February 5th at the Club for an evening of food, good cheer, friends and family as you can have a front row seat to watch the New England Patriots meet the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl 51. Wear your favorite jersey and take advantage of our Super Bowl drink specials while you watch in the comfort of your own Club! Fun Fact: You commented and we listened. Beginning this month, we will be open for late night dining on Fridays and Saturdays with the final seating at 9:30PM. So after a long day with your loved ones, make sure to stop by the dining room and enjoy one of Chef Luke’s spectacular dishes.

Jump in the game! With a wide variety of events and activities offered here at the Club I strongly encourage the entire membership to find their favorite sport, or one they want to improve on, and try out one of the many clinics (Page 18) we have available. One in particular I believe will be in the interest of many, is the Men’s & Women’s Tennis Drop-In Games on Saturdays at 9:00AM. Here you are given the opportunity to meet your fellow members, play singles or doubles and perfect your swing on the court.

This month we are also hosting two of our biggest annual events! On Thursday, February 9th, The UM Sylvester Cancer Link Benefit Golf Tournament will be held, in support of Breast Cancer research; and

FEBRUARY 2017 • 4

from Thursday, February 23rd to Saturday, February 25th, is the 21st Men’s Annual Member-Guest. There’s been a tremendous increase in competitiveness and sportsmanship from our members and their guests alike. Make sure to sign up as soon as possible and we will see you on the greens!

Please be aware that you may begin to hear heavy noise around the driving range coming from the Milano building as they will begin resurfacing the aquatics area beginning end of February. Once more information is received about the timeframe of the project we will be sure to notify you promptly.

Like the saying goes, “the early bird gets the worm” and Summer Camp registration is coming up soon! As the years go by, the months go by even faster and within the blink of an eye, school is out and summer is here. Don’t miss your opportunity to register soon.

Why register now? It will secure your child’s spot in Summer Camp and will allow us in accommodating additional staff if needed in order to accommodate the entire membership. Fun Fact: At the end of Summer Camp every child will receive a complimentary Summer Camp yearbook. Please stop by the front office for a copy of last year’s issue or email j.terry@ dbycc.com Do you like rewards? Then refer a friend or family member to join in our membership. Flip over to Page 8 where your membership team will give you more details about our new Membership Ambassador Referral Circle program for 2017.

I hope to see everyone around the Club either at one of our events or stopping by my office to say hello. My door is always open!

All the best,

Karen Harmon

Peek There’s always a reason to shop at the Deering Bay Pro Shop! Whether it be a birthday gift, a nice holiday gift, or even a “just-because” gift, you can always find what you’re looking for right in the Pro-Shop! With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, it is time to start thinking what you’re going to get that special someone. If you aren’t exactly sure what gift to get, you can always give a personalized gift certificate for Shop Merchandise or for a lesson with their favorite Professional. We have new inventory coming in monthly.

Stay tuned for collections from Nike, Fairway and Greene, Adidas, Peter Millar and Donald Ross. We also offer personalization of head covers, whether it is just a driver cover or the whole set; order any color with your name embroidered on it.
