June 2021
Happy June! Hope this finds you well and starting to enjoy the shift to summer on the North Shore! The Club just closed a busy month of May with Mother’s Day, graduation dinner, spring pickleball season starting, the official opening of the summer season with our Memorial Day weekend events and of course our signature club event, International Night. Members had an unforgettable night as The Club magically transformed into a Monte Carlo casino night experience. Extraordinary job by our staff. Enjoy some of these pictures below.

Onward to June! As of this writing we are optimistically anticipating a forward progression from the current Bridge Phase in Restore IL to Phase 5. We have welcomed all our furloughed staff back to The Club though, of course we had some attrition with some staff changing industries, taking other jobs, or going back to school.

June is kicking off with our first ever Kids Summer Reading Club. In addition, check

For dining, the Oak Room will reopen the first Friday of the month! Outside, look forward to a decorating renovation of the Patio and Deck this summer. The space will be upgraded with new tables, chairs, lounge furniture, new cushions, lighting, paint and more! Due to COVID, shipping is delayed, but we are excited for its pending arrival. For activities, The Club will host Father’s Day and let’s not forget about your four-legged friends with Dog Days. Get inspired with painting on the Patio and a Journaling Workshop. Mark your calendar for June 19! Rodney Strong blending event is back at The Club. Not to be repetitive but certainly worth continuing to underscore the gratitude I have for the management team, our dedicated staff, and our loyal members. Look forward to seeing you on the Patio this summer! Be well,
Suzanne M. Eschel President

Fitness
Fitness and Wellness As summer approaches and we all start to travel more, the temptation for junk food will rear its ugly head. But being away from home doesn’t have to mean poor food choices. Here are some tips to stick to your healthy habits no matter where life takes you.
Staying at a hotel? Consider booking a room with a kitchenette. Eating at restaurants while traveling is a big source of hidden calories. As often as you can, try to prepare your own meals with your own choices.
Don’t have a choice (see above)? Sometimes we have to eat at a restaurant whether for a business meeting or just lack of options. Just try to pick the menu item that is best for you, and don’t be afraid to ask about how the food is prepared.
Eat a healthy meal.
Make a plan.
Planning to be on the go for several hours? Eat something satisfying before you leave so that you aren’t reaching for junk food shortly into your trip.
Try to be as prepared as possible for your trip. Look online for healthy food sources near your lodging.
Pack a snack (or several). Try to have a bag packed with some healthy and filling snacks such as hard boiled eggs, almonds, raw veggies and hummus, quality jerky, or greek yogurt. Remember to bring a soft cooler and ice if packing perishables. **Bonus tip - pack lots of water!**
Aim for better, not perfect. Being too strict with food choices can lead to a difficult mentality around your diet. Don’t feel like you need to be perfect or punish yourself if you get off track. Remember the 80/20 rule - eat 80% what you need, 20% what you want.

www.michiganshores.org 847-251-4100
Decide whether you’ll stick to your healthy habits or take a temporary break. Either way is good as long as it’s a conscious choice. Don’t let your circumstances choose for you - be in charge of the decision.
Remember - you can always get back on track. Nothing is permanent and you can always get back into your healthy habits.

General
Updated MSC Web Security The Club has recently implemented a new technology that is an added layer of security to protect your personal data online. In the recent wave of increased global cyber attacks, we know that we must pay closer attention to cybersecurity. You may have noticed that there is a new icon on the member login page that designates our site as being secured by BlindHash. BlindHash is the most advanced technology available to protect passwords online. You have probably seen in the news the last couple of years about many high profile breaches that have taken place: LinkedIn, Yahoo, LogMeIn, Dropbox, Verizon, and most recently Equifax.
By installing BlindHash’s patented technology, we are removing the possibility of our members’ passwords being stolen from our site via an offline attack.
It is the most secure password protection available anywhere today. Michigan Shores Club takes the security of our member data seriously and we are constantly improving our operations and technology.
Hackers realize that there is a good chance you are using the same password for your Club access as you do for other online accounts. Once they steal your password, they then use it throughout the web to gain access to your accounts elsewhere.
MSC Kids Summer Reading Club Open to all the kids of MSC! June 1 - August 31 Help us achieve a collective goal of 100 books by August 31! To participate, email Lloy Johnston at ljohnston@michiganshores.org. Kids will report their completed books as they finish. Other opportunities for engagement surrounding reading will happen throughout the summer. Prizes will be awarded to all who participate.
