DINING EVENTS & INFORMATION Summer is here and it is great to see everyone getting back together and enjoying company again! I personally am looking forward to seeing the beaches again and getting some of that much needed Vitamin Sea! I hope everyone has been enjoying the new and improved Breaker Bar & Grille at the Sports Club. Deborah Johnson and her crew are fantastic and look forward to serving you at Wakefield's new poolside oasis! If you haven't been yet, there is no better time than the heat of the summer to enjoy the pool and the crisp drinks on the deck! Looking forward to seeing you all there! Once again I want to take this opportunity to thank you, our membership community, for being so supportive of the club and specifically the Food and Beverage Team. It is truly a privilege to be able to serve you and provide the enjoyable experiences many of us have missed around the table with our families and friends. I hope everyone has a safe and healthy summer! And remember.... "Laughter is an instant vacation". ~ Milton Berle Trey Yoder, Food & Beverage Director

AT THE TURN
Instructions Note: This dough requires chilling. Cream butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream until light and fluffy. You can also use a hand mixer. Add oil and stir until smooth. Add egg and vanilla, mix until smooth, then stir in the salt and baking soda. Mix in oats and flour until just mixed. Stir in coconut, nuts, and cornflakes. Scoop 2 Tablespoon balls of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet covered in wax or parchment paper. No need to spread the balls out, you’re just going to chill them. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least one hour. (If you chill longer than 4 hours you may need to let them warm up a few minutes on the counter before baking.) Preheat oven to 350°F. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or silpat baking mats. Place cookies 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheets. Lightly press down with the palm of your hand. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the bottoms just start to turn golden brown. Cool at least 5 minutes on the cookie sheet before removing to rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month
