SUNDAY OPENINGS
The club may be opening on some Sundays. The hours will vary according to the date. The grill will be open and is for members and their guests. Come over and have a good time.
ONE CALL UP & RUNNING
We have another way to help you keep up with what is going on at the club. Along with our website and Facebook page we have added One Call. This system lets you receive phone messages from us. You must opt in to use it, and you can opt out at any time. There are 200 members who are using it now. There is no one to talk to, you can send it to your answering system and listen to it later. It shows up on caller ID as “EAC”. Bill Hitch sends out a call on Thursday or Friday to remind members what is coming up here at YOUR club.
VISIT YOUR CLUB
Open Monday thru Thursday 10:00 A.M. – 10:00 P.M.
Friday and Saturday 10:00 A.M. – Midnight
The grill is open, and the drinks are cold.
