Seafood Buffet. Will resume normal valet service in November.

Night. It is a high food cost to the club, but hopefully it will be made up in
volume. Going to make some changes to the lunch menu before the season starts.
16 Williams Island members have signed up. YTD down substantially in the
rounds played industry wide. Miami Beach Golf Club exceeded expectations
(location has a lot to do with it). LaGorce closed for the summer helped Miami
Beach Golf Club. A number of golf properties are having problems.

exciting golf tournament
Mr. Spahn—Kevin should have made up the teams
