PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
                       Spring is right around the corner. Everyone is more than ready to spend longer hours and
                       warmer days on the golf course or the courts.
                       During the last twelve months, we were fortunate to have golf, racquet sports, and the pool as
                       “approved outdoor activities”. In addition, we devised a unique outdoor casual dining option with
                       the adaptation of the tented patio area. Over the summer and well into the fall, this option
                       became increasingly popular.
                       With the success of the tented patio dining, coupled with the continued uncertainty of ongoing
                       Covid restrictions, the Board has approved the purchase of our very own food trailer. This trailer
                       will allow us to continue to offer the ambience of a casual outdoor dining option while ensuring
                       that we would finally be in total compliance with NC kitchen safety guidelines.
   Kiki Matthews
                     The Board views the food trailer as an investment to “bridge” us over to a more permanent
                     outdoor casual dining solution. As such, the Building & Grounds Committee has asked an initial
group of Board members to lay out the preliminary design/ scope to this potential long range project. These participants
are: Chuck Borman, Nathan Kennedy, Will Buie (committee chair), and Kiki Matthews.
We are very excited about and look forward to the continued improvements and investments towards the enhancement
of the HCC experience for each of us.

MANAGER’S MESSAGE
                       It is almost pool season! Well, it’s a couple months away but we are already getting excited about
                       opening the pool. We’ve been in touch with all of last year’s staff and we already know a majority
                       of the lifeguards will be returning. We plan to open Friday, May 21.
                         Yes, it’s true. We have purchased a FOOD TRUCK! Technically, it’s a trailer. It’s being custom
                         made for us and it will be delivered in late April. We will park it behind the Main Clubhouse near
                         the tent, toward the chipping green. Remember last year when we operated a temporary
                         kitchen downstairs in the Main Clubhouse? That temporary kitchen was assembled from
                         equipment borrowed from the Grill (which was shut down at the time). The temporary kitchen was
                         marginally safe and definitely illegal. At the time we thought Covid was going to be a 3-4 month
                         problem. It ended up that we really, really enjoyed using the outdoor space behind the Clubhouse
 Anthony Chelena and we started thinking about how to serve that area more permanently. The board has
                         appointed a committee to work with an architect to design ideas that might serve that outdoor
space on a permanent basis. The food truck is a temporary solution- maybe a year or two or three. The food truck will
serve as a small, safe, temporary, sanitary and legal, tent-side kitchen until we either abandon the concept or commit
to a more permanent solution. Is the idea of ordering and picking up food from a truck window unappealing to you? The
Grill will also be open and ready with full service.
Have you tried the Beyond Meat Burger on the menu at the Grill? I recently topped one with Swiss Cheese, Salsa Verde,
and a couple strong shakes of hot sauce. Oh boy, it was tasty. Before now, I’ve never had even one vegetarian patty
that I thought was satisfying, but this plant based Beyond Meat product hit the bullseye. SWIDT? Maybe it was just good
because of the hot sauce and Salsa Verde! You tell me.
I’ve had many recent conversations with parents of school-aged children about what the past year has been like for their
families. While I appreciate that children are often more resilient than adults, I am amazed that any student could
prosper socially and/or academically while attending school through a computer. We hope we have served your family in
this difficult year. And we recognize that junior tennis, junior golf and the pool operation have had a greater importance in
the past year. Let us know what we can do for you.

2018 MARC BRÉDIF CHINON, CABERNET FRANC
$8 glass | $30 bottle
90pts Wine Spectator
With its majestic cellars in the heart of the Touraine, Marc Brédif has been one of the most famous Vouvray and Chinon
houses since 1893. When Baron de Ladoucette took over the house in 1980, he breathed new life into the century old
winery, while preserving its traditions. Today, Marc Brédif continues to produce Vouvray and Chinon wines of the finest
quality.
The 2018 Marc Brédif Chinon is a lovely example of Cabernet Franc, a grape variety that more wine drinkers should
pursue. This wine is bright, perky, and fresh. Its aromas and flavors of candied cherries and savory spice.
