Membership Drive Attention all members! Build the club membership by bringing in a new paid senior* member and we will reward you and the new member! We will give you and the new senior* member a $200.00 credit on your account! The credit can be applied to the restaurant, bar or ship store! Sound easy? It is! Just talk about the club you love to everybody who will listen. Then, bring the prospective senior* member to the club. You can give them a tour and Steve or Pam will explain the financial commitment and give them an application to fill out. Once all dues and fees are paid by the new member (and you, if you have not already done so) we will give you a $200.00 credit on your account and a $200.00 credit on the new member s account. The credit is for use in the dining room, bar or ship store! *Senior Members are between the ages of 36 and 69 Auxiliary Report It's hard to believe that it's already July. July 29this the Luau on the Beach (weather permitting) Auxiliary party. Get out your Grass Skirts and Hawaiian shirts. Be sure to put Thursday, August 3 on your calendars for Ladies Night Out. It will be a little different this year. There will not be a Buffett but a limited menu will be served later in the event. Stay tuned for times and other information. Of course the bar will be open all evening! Our Ship Store merchandise has been selling briskly and merchandise selection is down. But the good news is the order forms are now available, giving you the ability to pick the color and size that fits you best. Remember to try on sizes before ordering because some merchandise runs small and some runs big. Orders will be placed with the printer THREE times throughout the summer: June 11 th, July 9 th and August 6 th. The Auxiliary Fashion Show on June 8 th was fabulous. The serving staff that modeled our Ship Store Merchandise were a definite highlight. They modeled with piazza while we learned a little bit about each of our servers and what brought them to DLYC. Following the Fashion Show, many of our members had time to shop at the Ship Store and place customized orders. We will still have merchandise on hand, with a new order of tee shirts coming in July, to be purchased directly. The honor system is used to purchase merchandise. Ask a bartender, Steve or Pam to check out the key to the cabinets. Select your merchandise and fill out a WHITE PURCHASE DIRECT order form with the inventory number and price located on the tag. Finally put the purchase form in the white locked box hanging on the wall to the right of the cabinets. Your account will be billed for the merchandise plus tax. To place an order, use the COLORED Order Forms WITH PICTURES & PRICES OF THE MERCHANDISE. Please fill out completely. Orders will only be processed three times during the season as indicated above. When your order comes in, I will contact you by e-mail or a phone call. I will bag your merchandise and place it in the Drawer for PICK-UP Orders. When your merchandise is in you will then be billed plus tax. Happy Shopping Barb Winn
