Fall 2009 Highlights

The last few months of 2009 have been very exciting for members of Carolina Trace CC. A recap on some of the highlights this fall: In October, we moved into the new clubhouse and began setting up operations. We launched a three month membership campaign and have added more than 50 new memberships. Our membership numbers are the highest in more than fifteen years+. In November, we conducted two member openings and one community opening with more than 1,000 people who celebrated its Grand Opening. We served more than 400 members for a Thanksgiving Feast sure to satisfy any appetite. Our first wedding was celebrated in the new Clubhouse. Also, Col. Dick Kuehl was the guest speaker for our Veteran’s Day Remembrance and buffet dinner. And our new Fitness Center opened. In December, we held our annual Get Happy Chorus performance, Santa Claus visited the new clubhouse bearing treats and gifts, we hosted the Lee County Career and Technical Education Gala—the largest school fundraiser, members enjoyed a new event with the Fashion Show luncheon featuring styles and designs from the 1920s to today. We held our Annual Meeting and elected three new Board members. We participated in the Toys for Tots program. Our New Year’s Eve Celebration will be like no other New Year’s Party we’ve ever held as we toast to the New Year with friends and family. To look forward to in the New Year: the Fitness Center is open seven days a week and group fitness classes begin in January—offering morning, afternoon and evening classes—from light stretching to intense cardio workouts. Members can join the Wine of the Month Club, new Tuesday Night specials include Family Buffets offering new menu items each week, Wednesday Night specials include Mussels and Martinis for $5, two winter golf seminars, new Fantasy Golf league, updated video golf swing software where members can compare their swing side by side to a large library of PGA and LPGA Tour players, and new One Golfer membership levels. Art classes are back, Genealogy classes, Bingo, Scraping Booking club, and holiday celebrations and parties—first starting with a romantic Valentines Dinner and Dance. The Trace Players return to the clubhouse and will perform in the spring, Camp Trace returns this summer, and so much more… . The entire Staff of CTCC would like to thank and wish a Happy New Year to our dedicated and wonderful members who are the heart of our club.
