April 2021 Edgewood View Edgewood Country Club WHERE HERITAGE & EXCELLENCE COME TOGETHE R Fellow Edgewood Country Club Members, As we all are aware, the past 12 months dealing with the COVID-19 Pandemic has been a challenge. Last spring our club took several extraordinary steps to ensure that ECC members were afforded reductions in charges to reflect the restrictions and loss of the normal services offered. Additionally, the Board elected to not ask the membership to increase dues for the upcoming year as we are still dealing with COVID-19. The club has been adding back services as the State of West Virginia restrictions are eased. In fact, outside of limited access to the fitness center, we are approaching full services with social distancing spacing restrictions being the largest factor hindering fully reopening the club. The Board also voted to temporarily remove the twenty percent service fee charge that was applied to club food and beverage purchases. In the past, some confusion has existed with this fee as some members thought it was a gratuity paid to their server. That has never been the case, funds generated from this fee have been and will be used to pay for our employee’s benefits and health insurance. It should be noted that any member may, if they feel inclined, add a gratuity to their bill solely at their discretion. As ECC has been increasing our staffing to accommodate the return to pre COVID service levels the club will be reestablishing the “service fee” beginning with April’s food and beverage expenditures. The fee will show up on all food and beverage tickets as “House Fund” to avoid any future confusion and will appear on your May statement. As always, if you have any questions, feel free to reach out as needed. Doug Hartley D.
