Calendar - Triumph Club of the Carolinas

It is the Eastern Region’s turn to host the clubwide Christmas party this year. We have reserved Paul and Marilyn’s clubhouse in Coachman’s Trail for Saturday, Dec. 9. The address is 11412 Coachmans Way, Raleigh NC 27614, We plan to eat at noon, followed by the business portion and gift swap.

The clubhouse has been recently renovated and updated since the last time we were there, and is looking beautiful! The clubhouse will cost us $125. We have a budget of $25/person, and anticipate about 60 based on past years. I am going to talk to Milton’s, who we’ve used in the past, this week. They are well within budget. Jeff and Julie Morgan are looking into a caterer they used for their wedding. I would love help from our region for finding a caterer, planning, organizing, decorating, setup and cleanup. Please contact Marilyn Gist at 919-280-1027 or margist@aol.com to volunteer and share your ideas!

There was some discussion about trying to find a more central location for the clubwide party, such as the Roadhouse in Pittsboro (closed), or when we used to do it as a potluck at the zoo in Asheboro (now beyond our budget because we have to use their caterer), or the Andrew’s church in Siler City. I tried unsuccessfully to find a central spot, but if any of you want to try to find one for a future year, be my guest! I spoke to Steve Ward about this, and he is just fine with using our clubhouse again. When it has been Charlotte’s turn, they host it in Charlotte. When it is the Triad’s turn, they host it in the Triad. If Steve Ward is happy with our clubhouse in Raleigh, I’m done.
