CCSC MEMBBER APRECIATION PARTY COMING UP: Friday, September 11, 2015 at the NCO Club of Fort Jackson (Flyer and more details to be published in the 2015 September/October Newsletter) Important Note to Our Members It is imperative that we have accurate responses to the RSVP’s f or our club parties. We have to confirm arrangements for tables, chairs, decorations and food a minimum of 7 days in advance of a given party. Both late replies and no-shows are causing major headaches for the planners and wasting club money. We understand that issues arise at the last minute that could prevent someone from attending. However, it would still be courteous and quite helpful to tell us that you cannot be in attendance. The point of this article is to stress the importance of receiving your RSVP or your Cancellation Notice in a timely manner. We plan according to these commitments. We must continue to get a handle on attendance at the club parties. We are trying to spend the club’s money wisely and keep your dues as low as possible. Please help us do this for yourself and your fellow members. If you must cancel your reservation at the last minute, please call 730-9440.
