Management Report:
Barbara Hinton gave her management report:
· For the month of July, the Clubhouse did not do well. Revenues were down and expenses were up. She explained that this could be due to the fact that the Clubhouse purchased items of food, which hit the budget.
· Weekend business was good, though the Clubhouse actually lost money during five weekdays. This should not happen during the summer.
· The highly successful Sunday Breakfast is helping Clubhouse revenue.
· The Tiki Bar is doing well and both revenues and expenses are up. Ms. Hinton credited this to Lisa and Richie doing a great job.
· Mrs. Hinton announced that effective September 1st that she will no longer be a salaried employee and no longer oversee the Clubhouse. Her functions will mainly consist of managing banquets at the Lodge and will be paid on an hourly basis. Brett will be in charge of the Clubhouse for a three-month trial basis.
Members’ Questions to Management:
Linda Dimitrakakis announced that Guys and Dolls at the Main Lodge was highly successful with over 152 paid guests. She asked
Ms. Hinton if it would be possible to extend Sunday Breakfast to accommodate people coming back from church. Mrs. Hinton responded that it is possible but that it would create problems with the grill changeover to lunch. Mrs. Dimitrakakis also expressed concern that staff was turning guests away immediately after 11:30am despite excess food remaining in the steam table. Mrs. Hinton said that she informed staff that they should check with her before turning anyone away. She also said that allowing customers to eat in the Pub negatively impacts service.
John Barcarola (Board Member) expressed concerns about Clubhouse July revenue and wanted to share information with the Budget committee.
Billy Scampoli expressed concern over the lack of coordination with entertainment. In particular, a specific case when “The Third Nut” was never actually booked though the event was advertised and members showed up to the Tiki Bar. Mr. Scampoli also inquired into what the Hideout policy is for husbands and wives working together. Mr. Scampoli made the suggestion to install mirrors behind the Tiki Bar so that members can see the reflection of the lake instead of the wall and make it easier to clean.
Mrs. Dimitrakakis made a motion for the committee to work with the Recreation Committee on enhancing entertainment. Motion passed 19-0.
Beni Carapella, expressed concerns that Board Member Paul Como does not attend Committee meetings even though he is the Board Liaison. He also expressed concerns over food theft and staff hanging out by the backdoor to smoke. Kevin Dunn indicated that Mr. Como has other commitments but asked whether the Board could assign a new liaison. He also expressed concerns over the budget and inquired whether management knows what it costs to prepare a plate of food.
Frank Dougherty expressed concerns over the lack of maintenance of the Clubhouse front deck. Kevin Dunn said that the deck is littered with cigarettes and that boards are dangerously raised. Mrs. Hinton indicated that housekeeping is now only responsible for cleaning the bathrooms; Clubhouse staff is responsible for cleaning the deck.
Mr. Scampoli made a motion calling upon management to have the deck power washed, resealed and made safe. Motion passed 19-0.
Marie Fleischmann expressed concerns about the drop in membership in the Garden Club. Eileen O’Sullivan indicated that she would see if the Recreation Committee could help to recruit new members.
Election of New Chair:
Kevin Dunn made a motion to nominate Linda Dimitrakakis as Chair of the Committee. Motion passed 19-0.
Committee Business:
Eileen O’Sullivan made a motion to alternate meetings between Fridays and Saturdays on a trial basis to accommodate individuals who are unable to attend on Fridays due to work commitments.

Community Manager report Presented by Ralph Graf. Clubhouse and lodge doing very well. Tiki Bar at the lodge doing well has been redesigned and implemented by Billy Hinton.

Barbara Hinton's Report: The Cowboy Western and the Adult Social Club at the North Beach. The fact that more help is needed to free Barbara up to concentrate on the big events. The new shelf in the kitchen is working great.
No Comment Cards this month. Difference of opinion on the status of the new and improved Comment Cards this needs to be revisited at the next meeting.
Lo-Carb Menu Barbara has seen the Lo-Carb sample menu that was provided. No decision at this time to implement this menu choice. Barbara will be checking the availability of light salad dressing choices to offer that option to our diners.
Discussed the availability of telephone service from the clubhouse. We learned that we are saving a great deal of money by not offering pay phones if a member needs to make an emergency local call they may use the house phone.
The doors entering the Clubhouse need to stay the way it opens at the present time and can be adjusted to open out completely in an emergency.
Meeting was adjourned and the next meeting is August 6, 2004.
