  • Belgian Beer Tasting

    Almost forty folks attended Joe Harbeson’s Belgian Beer Tasting!  Joe wowed everyone with his expertise as he described each of 11 beers as they were sampled.  Food was plentiful and delicious – prepared by Joe, Jackie and their daughter Becca.  Steve Savard arranged for purchase of the beer and various attendees helped out with clean up.  Thank you Joe and all your helpers!

  • July '10 Recap

    Rosemary Beirne reports: “The July 4th Picnic and Fun Tennis Tournament went very well. There were 60 people, a smaller than usual crowd but it was fun nonetheless with beautiful weather, a great tennis tournament, guests who loved the club, and lots of great food. Thanks to Maura Laverty for doing all the shopping, Nora and Aodhan for helping in the kitchen, and Joe Harbeson for providing the music. Also thanks to the very professional lifeguards, bartending and cooking and cleaning staff.   And thank you, too for all your hard work, Rosemary.


    The Book Club is well into its second year.  A good mix of fiction has given the participants a lot to talk about.  Our current reading is Farewell My Lovely, the detective classic by Raymond Chandler.  We will meet and discuss the book on Wednesday August 11th at 7:45 PM.   To join the group at any time, contact Larry Feldman at feldlarry@gmail.com or 914-423-3328.   We welcome new readers to share reviews and opinions - and books!


    Families gathered to enjoy another couple of Friday Night BBQ’s.  On July 6th, Liz Malave organized the evening.  The ice cream dessert she brought turned out to be a big hit!  On July 30th, Robert Moment stepped in at the last minute and organized it.  We thank them as well as others who pitched in to grill, bring food, serve and clean up.  These group efforts are the standard of what our club is all about!

  • New Members' Cocktail Party

    Our annual New Members’ Cocktail Party was well attended on a beautiful moonlit night.  Members came through once again bringing a feast of fabulous fare.  Dishes were laid out alfresco on hydrangea-dressed banquet tables.  Votive candles flickered in the balmy breeze.  Plenty of adults chatted, ate, met and mingled, while a bevy of beautiful young girls ran ‘round the flag pole with the Sanchez boys!  Patricia handled the crowd of imbibers with her usual flair.  Aodhan and Nora efficiently and inconspicuously took care of what needed doing – heating and putting out hors d’oeuvres, clearing plates, and leaving the kitchen immaculate.  Great job guys!  We thank Rosemary for taking the reservations, in spite of being stuck in Denver for the evening.  Jill and Patty Gamba handled set up and organization.  And of course, we thank all the attendees who contributed their yummy dishes!

  • Fathers' Day BBQ Report

    The second annual Fathers’ Day BBQ was a successful event.  People started driving into the club around 1:30 or so and the first wave of grilling began. Several dads grilled at a leisurely pace until around 4PM.  There was a break in the action until around 6PM when a second wave of arrivals fired up the grill again and continued until just before sunset.  The mothers, many of whom were at a bridal shower for several hours, joined the fray around 5PM and assisted in consuming large quantities of burgers, pork loin, salads and cakes.  Robert Moment

    Mmm.  Mmm. Good.  Thank you, Robert for organizing the day!

  • 2010 Memorial Day Picnic

     The Memorial Day Picnic was a huge success with 112 adults and children.  Loads of food was purchased and consumed!  Our deepest thanks go to Maura Laverty and her small but mighty team of helpers - Rosemary and Nora Beirne, Dot Hackett, Steve Savard (and of course, Owen) - for getting the job done.  Way to go gang!
