Friday and Saturday proved to be glorious days for the Clubhouse Grand Opening, despite the early weather forecast of rain and high winds.
The Friday evening members-only celebration was well-attended and members were dazzled by the craftsmanship of Gateway Builders, the gorgeous design and finishing choices made by the ReBuild and House Committee, the delicious assortment of hors d’oeuvres served by Blake Johnson’s food & beverage team, the new restaurant menu displayed by Chef Kayleigh and so much more. The upbeat music of Heather and Nathan (with Scott) had everyone tapping their toes.
A warm and heart-felt thank you to all the members who sustained the Club during the past 2-1/2 years and to those who made significant contributions to the ReBuild effort: financial support through important naming opportunities, hands-on work on committees and in-kind contributions all were greatly needed and appreciated.
From the ribbon-cutting through to the very last reveler to leave, the evening proved that ESYCC is BACK as THE place to have fun on the Eastern Shore. And we are stronger than ever!
Saturday’s Grand Opening Golf Tournament was fully subscribed and the mulligans and 3-ft of string available for purchase made for a fun and competitive day.
The Community Open House on Saturday afternoon brought many former members, newcomers to the Shore and well-wishers to the Club, many of whom expressed their intention to join in the fun!
Many thanks to John T. Williams, Jr. for capturing the video of the ribbon cutting (right) and to Peter Hall for the beautiful photography.
