Here we are halfway through the year and in the swing of the summer months. We hope this newsletter finds you healthy, happy, and staying safe these days. Summertime... the time of year for 4th of July parades, picnics, fireworks, summer vacations, and visits with family or friends. Yet, this year has been so different, for everyone, in every city, every state, every country... and it continues. Unfortunately, we all are aware, the coronavirus pandemic is still going on, it is far from over. Health officials continue to stress the importance of social distancing, hand washing and only going out when necessary to help slow and prevent the spread of the disease. Where do we go from here? This is the question on the minds of many these days. We want the Members Club fully open and available to you, to be able to enjoy a social setting within your Grande Dunes community. We have been working towards this goal, all the while thinking about the health and safety of our members and our staff. Dinner service is open at the Club, Wednesday through Sunday, 4:00 – 8:00 p.m. Please join us, we miss you and want to have you all back enjoying the surroundings and service we want to provide you. We thank you for your loyalty, patience, and support of your club. The catch phrase right now, or at least one of them, ‘we are all in this together’ is an important one. We are in this together and our nation has experienced tremendous pain and loss; maybe we are not having the exact same day to day issues; but we all need to be caring, kind, respectful of others, and have an understanding as to what is going on “behind the scenes” for everyone. I encourage you to read through this newsletter, check the Member’s website, and the weekly happenings emails we send out in order to keep you up-to-date with important information and what we are doing for you to get back to your club. As always if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to ask, I am here for you. Stay safe. I look forward to seeing all of you at the Club.

A NOTE FROM YOUR MEMBERSHIP DIRECTOR The world is constantly changing, some changes are good and some changes are even better. Here are three things we know about the future: First, it isn't going to be like the past. Second, it isn't going to be exactly the way we think it's going to be. Third, the rate of change will take place faster than we anticipate. Know you are custom-built for change. Created with a capacity to adjust, move and be different. Any one of us is able to change at any point in time, at any age. Nothing remains as constant as change. Even the most precious of all gems needs to be chiseled and faceted to achieve its best luster. Don't end up like concrete--all mixed together and permanently set. ~John Mason Many changes will be coming to the Members Club as we move into the fall months. Look out for specials and incentives coming up soon to share with your friends and family to help grow your club. Happy 4th of July America!! Let’s remember this July 4th, why we celebrate this festive holiday. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence. Thank you members for supporting your club during these changing times. Know that we are always here for you. Welcome New Members: Mary Ferrero & Dennis Lynch | Ben & Becky Gasque I Michael & Rhonda Bridge I Ray & Bettie Piluso
