From our traditional social calendar to new monthly events, there is always something to do and fun to be had. For families, a babysitting service is available on Friday nights, so that parents can enjoy time at the Club while their children are entertained with dinner and a movie upstairs in the Club’s Board Room. One of the most popular adult social events is the annual Oyster Roast, held at the end of November on the beach. Oysters are served in every way imaginable, as members warm themselves by the fires on the beach. It is a time where families and friends who have come home for the holidays reconnect. The fun then moves inside the ballroom for a late evening of music and dancing . During the summer months, children and adults enjoy the beautiful weather and have fun by the pool with live music and activities for all ages.
