It looks like summer is here, and it’s going to be a hot one Stay hydrated and safe As always, I have exciting updates and improvements happening around the club that I am thrilled to share with you.
First, the food and beverage department is undergoing more changes this month. Chef Temoshi is no longer with the club. I’d like to thank him for his service over the last several years, and wish him well in his future endeavors With that said, our Executive Sous Chef, Fidel Fonseca, will be acting as our interim chef as we move forward Fidel has been with us for almost 18 years; I know he will do a fine job.
Strategic planning of golf course and kitchens continues.
With that, I look forward to seeing you around your club,
