NEW BOCCE LEAGUE HAS FORMED HERE AT THE CLUB
Spearheaded by Club member John Fedderke, the Club has added another
amenity for its members: a bocce court. What is bocce, you ask? Read on…
What other sport could combine billiards, bowling, curling, and drinking? Yes,
you and a partner can enjoy this most Italian of sports while sipping a Prosecco
and wondering if your Ferrari needs a tune-up.
You’ve seen our excellent new bocce court as you enter the Club, but you may
have believed the rumor rampant in the Oak Room that it actually is a tortoise
racetrack. While that could be considered the most exciting three hours in
sports, sadly, the Clusterfers are in their usual state of foggy misinformation.
Director of Facilities Brian McCarty inspects the championship
bocce court he and his staff designed and built. The bocce ball set is available now at the Front Desk, and you are welcome
to try your hand at any time. We are launching our Fall Bocce League on
September 9 and we have a star-studded field:

played a scramble format where all golfers tee
off and you then select your best-positioned
ball from there until it’s in the hole. We had a
variety of goodies to be won for closest to the
pin on #7 & #17 and long drive on #6 & #18.
We also had a betting hole on the short 70-yd.

hrough the years, I have been asked many questions about where
so involved. So, it was suggested that I tell a bit about how I became
so enthralled with the holiday, and how we acquired many of our props.
HalloweeK
For me, Halloween has been a lifelong passion. My father was always
enthusiastic about the season. Dad was raised in Edinburgh Scotland,
where the tradition of celebrating as he knew it dates back to the 16th
century. Also being of a theatrical family, they were all about props and
tricks, all of which made him a Halloween enthusiast. Growing up with
dad, we had gory carved pumpkins, wailing bag pipes, floating ghosts,

favorite prop makers, Marsha and Ed Edmunds of Distortions Unlimited
The week starts off with a new, never-before-at-the-Club
event. “The Witching Hour” will take place in the wee
hours of October 24, starting at 2 AM with a tour of the
Club, then a séance conducted by Janet Amid at 3 AM,
followed by a continental breakfast with champagne
mimosas until 5 AM. Yes, that is correct— AM, as in ante
meridiem. After that, the Club will be decorated and ready
for Halloween.
Next is the children’s ”Trunk or Treat” party on
Wednesday, October 27. Kids arrive in costume at 5 PM,
and cars in the parking lot will be decorated and treats
passed out at each trunk. There’ll be games, prizes, face
painting, a picture booth, pumpkin decorating—something
for everyone!
As always, the week ends on Saturday night, October 30,
with the Adult Halloween Party, a long-standing tradition at
the Club. The décor will be even more intense, and there’ll
be dancing, monster munchies (included in the cover price),
a costume contest, and special spooky cocktails at the bar.
Astrologer Janet Amid will be on hand to do astrological
readings for a small fee. It’s the best atmosphere in the city
and a cover price of only $18 per person (with the munchies
included in the price) — it’s such a deal it’s almost scary.
Guests are welcome, so bring your friends. The party starts
at 8 PM and runs until midnight.
Think about hosting your own event during the week
and take advantage of the atmosphere, sure to impress
your guests. There are still a limited amount of days
available during Halloweek for your own event. Just
