Catering did suffer some setbacks this year regarding wedding bookings. We lost several prospects and some booked weddings due to the 14 th hole project. The comfort station project was delayed due to the extreme winter weather which led to landscaping issues at the park. The wedding ceremony site became an eyesore and is not the charming, manicured lawn area that many wedding so enjoyed. Even future bookings have been challenging due to the fear of cosmetic damage to the area in the future. We also were not able to book any weddings this year in October so that the 14 th hole project could resume its construction schedule. We hope to have it completed by the spring and can resume are comprehensive tours and resulting sales. The catering staff were a much stronger group this year with our new catering manager acclimating well to her new role. We had fewer staffing shortages and less disgruntled staff. Morale was much better overall. We also made a switch with the catering culinary team which worked out very well. Chef Odain and Chef Lloyd headed up catering and special events and this was very successful. Communication with the catering director improved and the kitchen had the proper resources to execute catering events much more efficiently.

It does not generate enough revenue to justify continuing to operate it. Most of our members prefer using the dining rooms and sales at the Food Truck have diminished each year. The cost of labor to operate it was
