You have probably noticed that the Club Wine List has been expanded. It includes a new Zinfandel, a Pinot Noir, a Chardonnay and a Cabernet. Look for them on the wine list marked as NEW. Try them. These choices, we humbly say, were ably made by yours truly, fellow members of the House Committee, Peter Birnbaum, Andrea and Doug Owen, and Rear Commodore Ron Roberts, Director Cliff Donoho and Bar Manager John Guzi who met for a tasting of 24 wines with as many as 6-7 in a category. With that much seaway to make, we didn’t drink -- at least until the tasting was done. After, it was a warm Sunday afternoon in the Club Library...we sipped these great new wines while eating cheese and crackers and talking club matters...the sea breeze wafted in through the windows...and we all agreed this committee stuff was just fine.

NOTICE! NOTICE! New policies for limited CYC and CCI employee parking are in place to provide improved member access and parking control while giving needed access during non-critical times for employees. The policies will be administered by the Club General Manager, or if not present, an available Commodore. Please bring any matter that needs attention to one of them or of course, Frances Ramage. Here they are:

1. Monday to Friday at 5 PM, employees of both companies may park in the hillside area only, subject to removal.
2. No employee parking after 5PM Friday.
3. No employee parking during the day of any Club event or Holiday.
4. Saturdays and Sundays (24 hrs):
   In-Season (April-November) -- employee parking limited to two each only with permission and subject to removal.
   Off-Season (December-March) -- employee parking limited to two each, subject to removal.
   The new entry system (earned by the hard working gals in TCW, yes that’s a plug Esther) will also be a big help.

Beer Drinkers! New Suds! A third draft beer dispenser has been installed and we are currently featuring an India Pale Ale, over the next few months we plan to rotate a few through to see what stays. Votes are counted in beers sold only! Not verbally. The bartending staff has been told not to take any further harassment and to report such behavior. You know who you are, and more importantly, we know who you are! So, the House Committee will gladly entertain your written suggestions.

How about a hats-off to our wonderful staff, who as individuals and as a team are essential in helping CYC stay the great place it is? Countless times in the “behind the scenes” that most may not see, they do great jobs, often doing far more than can be expected. This goes equally for CCI employees as well. One such example is our General Manager, Ingo Schreiber. During the last month of heavy interior construction, Ingo has routinely been at the Club from 7AM to later than 7PM and for six or seven days per week. Yes, Ingo will get time off -- if we can convince him to take it! We are lucky to have good people with us.
