GRILL
I would like to start by thanking everyone for such a warm welcome. The Membership and staff
have made me feel right at home. I feel so blessed to be a part of the Hendersonville Country
Club Team. To give you a little backstory on me, I have worked in food & beverage for 15 years
and it has become one of my greatest passions. I was born and raised in Hendersonville,
particularly in Dana. And in my free time, I enjoy raising chickens and hiking with my dogs.
In December, we are excited to unveil new entrées, new specials, and holiday event schedules.
The first on the list is Fajitas- they are here to stay! We will now be offering Fajitas on our Lunch
and Dinner Menu. Thursday’s will be Specialty Burger Day. We will offer four specialty burgers,
hand-crafted by our culinary team. Friday’s will now be Fried Seafood Night at the Grill! And to
top it all off, you will be seeing a few new breakfast items on our menu: Belgian Waffles, Quiche
Breanna Jackson Lorraine, and Shrimp & Grits. Yum! Happy Holidays to all! We hope to see you at our New Year’s
Eve Dinner!

set of competitions, many of which enjoy a true team effort by all! And with 90 participants in the
