THANKSGIVING DAY 2011

MANAGER’S MESSAGE Unless one is a gifted writer - putting together an informative or interesting monthly newsletter article can become a bur-den. However, December is different. So many good things occur, it is fun to write for this issue.

* The holiday decorations are awesome in our 122 year old home, creating a wonderful holiday atmosphere.

* Members and guests are always in great spirits coming to the holiday parties.

* The club is extremely vibrant and busy contributing to the joy of the season.

* Members always generously contribute to the employee holiday bonus fund which gives a terrific boost to their holiday spirit… and renews their commitment to the members.

* The high sales volume gives the staff significantly more hours and earnings for the holidays.

* These high sales often dictate the financial outcome for the entire fiscal year which ends in February.

* Beginning with Thanksgiving, the holiday social calendar is filled with popular events.
