Dear Ocean Edge Club Members,
I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Weekend and have had a great start to your summer!
Now that summer is here, post Memorial Day, parking restrictions on the Mansion side of the property are in place. If you have not stopped by the Membership Services Desk at the Linx to pick up your 2024 parking stickers, please stop in. As a reminder, the car stickers are available for you, our primary club members only. With the parking restrictions imposed on the Mansion side of the property, we cannot provide car stickers to your Vertical Family Guests To help reduce parking congestion on the back side of the Mansion, it would be most helpful for your Family Guests, if not accompanied by you, to please utilize the shuttles This will benefit all of our Club Members when visiting the Beach or Mansion side of the property.
June also marks the start of much of the summer programming. The Opening Pickleball Party is this weekend on the 22nd, followed by the weekly Pop-Up Pickleball Parties starting on the 11th; Wine Down Wednesday starts on the 12th, Father’s Day BBQ on the 15th, and the annual Beach Bash on the 27th! The summer season is packed with member socials and events We hope to see you at the Club and enjoying the social opportunities as best fits your schedules.
It is with great pleasure to welcome our newest members, and once again, thank you for the continues support and referrals to the Club! The best Clubs are built with great relationships and camaraderie, both of which are found within our amazing Membership!
Thank you for being valued Members of the Club and as always, if there is anything I or the Club Team can do to assist, please don’t hesitate to ask.
