After an exciting Grand Opening we are thrilled to provide new and exciting menus and service to members and guests in both the new Palmetto Room and Bohickets. As we perfect the service rhythm needed to provide the best dining experience you may notice some empty tables. During this initial phase of opening we have been limiting reservations as we experiment with staffing levels and reservation times. We ask for your patience during this time if you happen to see vacant tables but were asked to make an earlier or later reservation. As always, elevating and maintaining excellent service for our membership is our sole focus.




THANK YOU TO ALL OUR MEMBERS

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to support the Club for our Grand Opening Party! We all appreciate your patience and understanding during the last year while we were under construction & transitioning. It was really wonderful to see everyone have such a great time and finally be able to celebrate in style. Also, another huge thank you to Bank of America, Trident Construction and Glick-Boehm for the great job they've done. Here is some of the feedback we have received from Club members.

"Congratultions! I think the opening party was a huge success and you deserve much, much credit for a well-planned, well-executed event." Jane Dunham

"Every club member in attendance we spoke to was amazed and terribly proud of our new Clubhouse & the present staff. Our heartfelt thanks go out to every single person that took part in the planning of the event and every single person who worked the event. This will certainly be a night for all of us at Seabrook to remember!" Sherry & Jack Vincent

"The food was incredibly delicious, plentiful, & presented beautifully. The buffet stands had the most gorgeous ice carvings & floral arrangements I have ever seen." Lois & Ed Rinehimer

WINE & THENSOME WITH AUTHOR DAVID COX
Wednesday, October 7th
5pm Reception, 5:30pm Presentation
The Deveaux Room
Author David Cox will be discussing his novel "Dirty Secrets, Dirty War. The Exile of Editor Robert J. Cox"

From 1976-1983, an estimated 30,000 people disappeared in Argentina. They were victims of the Dirty War a brutal campaign designed by the government to root out possible subversives. Those suspected of being dissidents were kidnapped and taken to secret detention centers. Most were tortured and then killed never seen again. Robert J. Cox, editor of the Buenos Aires Herald, did what few others were willing to do he told the truth about what was happening. Every day his newspaper reported on the kidnappings and killings. He challenged those in power asking questions and demanding answers. Cox's commitment to reporting the truth made him a hero to the families of the disappeared, but an enemy of the state. This is the remarkable story of one man's courage in the face of adversity. It is the story of a man dedicated to protecting the freedom of the press and to protecting his family. It is the story of those who disappeared and the man who stayed in order to tell their stories. Cox's story is told by his son David who grew up under the pall of terrorism, but was inspired by his father's great courage to write what was true. He has written the book that his father could not.
