Club News February 2023

    Hello to you all. This is a bit late, but our Semi-Annual meeting was delayed, and I wanted to wait until after the St. Patrick’s Day party was completed. Speaking of that event, it was a complete success. Thanks to Natalie and her crew it was flawless. The weather finally cooperated and y’all brought great snacks and desserts. We also had some good wine and Irish beer to help wash the good food down.

   I’d like to welcome all our new members. The best way to get acquainted is to attend these social events. Our TCCC family is friendly, and we welcome your attendance. What initially brings us together is croquet, but what keeps us together is friendship, good socialization and fun.

   On a more serious note, although we now have the cabinet on our pavilion, we still have that big old box there as well. It has very few contents and admittedly it’s not very attractive. However, at the St. Patrick Day’s event it served the “important” function on being the “table” to hold the beer. I’m aware there are mixed feelings about keeping the box. Personally (just my humble opinion), I think that box should go. The real question is, do we want to replace it with one about half the size for additional storage AND to act as an additional small table for such things as beer, etc., or get rid of it without a replacement?

   This issue will be brought up at the next Board meeting, which, unfortunately, I’ll be unable to attend. I would like YOUR thoughts on the subject. Ultimately, it’s the Board’s decision, but YOUR input would be helpful. Essentially there are three choices:

   1.  Keep the current box.

   2.  Get rid of the box and do NOT replace it at all.

   3.  Get rid of the current box and replace it with a smaller one.
