Sunshine Fund - Just a Reminder.......
Here’s a great, new opportunity for you to help support your NCC while honoring or remembering your friends’ important occasions.
The Sunshine Fund is a tax deductible method for you to acknowledge people who care about the success of the Croquet Center. You can donate money to support the Croquet Center and in return we will send an acknowledgement of your donation. This is a fabulous way to recognize a loved one's birthday, wedding, anniversary, new job, croquet successes, or loved one's death.
All you have to do is send a note with your check made out to C.F.A. In the memo put Sunshine Fund and the name you are honoring. Mail to C.F.A., Attn: Bobbi Segal at 700 Florida Mango Road, West Palm Beach, Florida 33406. A tax letter will be mailed to you and the recepient will receive a greeting card. We encourage you to start using this donation format ASAP. Thanks in advance for your support in this important project. Please make donation to Croquet Foundation of America (Sunshine Fund and name in memo.)
Donations made by Isabel Jordan in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel John Jordan

Guest Fees:
When you invite a guest to join you at the NCC for a game of Croquet, please make arrangements at the front desk if you would like to pay for the guest fees. If not, please remind your guest to use the front door, sign in, and pay the guest fee. It is uncomfortable for everyone if your guest has to be reminded to pay once they are already on the lawns.
If you have invited a guest to the club please notify us so that your guest can be welcomed by name!
Heads Up: FOR Archie's sake (and for that of other fellow members in your clinic), please let us know if you cannot make the clinic, that you have signed up for at least a day prior to clinic.
