The first week of the season is officially in the books! It feels much better typing this in early May as opposed to late May which was the case the past two years. On top of a more normal start, we have experienced some great weather, hopefully a sign of things to come!

What an opening week! We started with the Spring Thaw followed by the Opening Breakfast for the Men and then topped it off with our Mother’s Day Brunch. Based on the comments and feedback, everyone had an amazing time and enjoyed all the food. It was so great to see everyone relaxed and enjoying socializing again.
