Club Undergoes Major Renovation

Time and the elements took their toll on the Clubhouse and discussions of expansion and renovation began in the mid 1980's. In 1987, then Vice Commodore Giles Giddings, was put in charge of the project. Little did he know that it would be March of 1991 before the project was completed. The project included expansion of the upstairs dinning room and downstairs bar area, a new kitchen, new pool and upper deck, new locker rooms and restroom, and a new heating and air conditioning system. The cost of the project was $1,850,000 which was $150,000 over the original projections. The Club borrowed $1,000,000 to finance the project, which was $200,000 less than the original projections.
