Mother’s
Day is always a sell-out event at the Club
and so the marketing team decided to find
a way to promote Father’s Day, which
is typically not well-attended. A contest
was designed such that a junior or juvenile
member could win brunch for four on Father’s
Day by writing a paragraph on “Why
their dad is the best dad.”
WINNER!!!! |

The New Year’s
Extravaganza was introduced in 2006 in response
do dwindling numbers attending the traditional
New Year’s Eve Dinner Dance. The concept
was patterned after the “First Night” events
that are celebrated in many U.S. cities on
New Year’s Eve. In addition, the “family
inclusive” event mirrored the strategic
vision and mission of Carmel Country Club.
2006 saw 550 attendees and this year the
number topped 700. Event participation was
a far cry from the 110 in 2003, 75 in 2004,
and 55 in 2005. |

Stroll, the first weekend in December. Our
goal over the last few years is the increase
the attendances. This year, the Club decided
to create a Boutique do Noel, during
Stroll Weekend. This event was open to our
members as well as their guests. “Reacquaint
with your fellow members while sipping on
mulled wine and ‘strolling’ the
dining room, where vendors display their
merchandise for your conveniences of easy
gift-giving.”
