Message from the President
Members,
We are looking forward to another fun filled summer and it will be here before you know it! A
lot has been happening since last year and this year promises more improvements for all members to
enjoy. The number one question that our members have is “When will upstairs be complete”? Well, we
are not there yet, but the end is in sight. We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Plans have
been approved, the contractor has been chosen, and there is actually a schedule of when the work will
start and the tentative time frame set. We realize that it has seemed like an eternity, but rest assured, the
upstairs will be moving along in the very near future. With that being said, please know that we have
planned as best as possible to avoid too much interference with your summer fun, but remember to watch
your step!
The locks at the club will be changed and the new keys available to any member in good
standing. If you are a member that already has a key, you will need to trade that key in for the new one
at no charge. If you are a member that has never had a key to access the club outside its regular hours,
you will need to fill out the form (available in the office), show your picture ID and pay the $5.00 for
one. Only members in good standing will be allowed to purchase keys.
During the off season there were a couple of gatherings with great member participation. There
were also guests of members at these functions who decided to become members themselves. So on
behalf of the Board and the entire membership, Welcome New Members! We look forward to spending
quality time with our new members as well as those members that have been with us for a while.
Thanks to all those members who offered constructive criticism and suggestions for
improvements to our Splash Bar and the Cove Grill. As a group, the Board has taken those comments
and discussed which ones should be implemented this year. What we have decided to add were more
healthy options including smaller portion sizes and having a garden salad as an option for a side item.
Also, members will be able to purchase a “Drink Card” for $10 which will allow you to get refills of soft
drinks, lemonade, and tea for less than the original cost.
I have just mentioned a few of the changes and improvements that will be in place at LCC this
summer. As always, we encourage members to come often so that you can experience these
enhancements for yourself! Should you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact us. I
look forward to seeing everyone this summer!
Carey Johnson
President of Board of Directors

OPEN HOUSE - READ BELOW!!!!
On Tuesday, April 23rd and Thursday, April 25th members are asked to come

Director will be taking registrations for Summer Camp, and those interested

IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT! IMPORTANT!
Since we are changing the locks and with
construction beginning in the next few weeks, the
handicap gate will no longer be accessible.
Beginning May 1st, new keys that are distributed
to members will allow access to the club through
the single gate in the parking lot and the far right
gate near the sign in location. ONLY MEMBERS
WHO ARE PAID UP THROUGH THE SECOND
QUARTER OF 2013 WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO
PURCHASE A KEY (OR EXCHANGE YOUR OLD
ONE). Lifetime members will be able to exchange
their key with a photo ID. This gate will be a self
locking gate, which will require a key to enter or
exit the facility. Members are reminded that they
must ensure that the gate is closed upon entering
and exiting. This gate will be monitored by the
security cameras.

DIVE TEAM NEWS
Dear Lakeside Diving Team Parents,
I am looking forward to the start of our diving season. Registration will be held on April
23rd at 7:00 PM. I will also accept registrations later at May practices. We need divers
for every age group. Boys and girls under the age of 18 are eligible to dive in our JCCA
program. If your child can swim from the diving board to the ladder in the deep end, they
can join the diving team (there is no minimum age). The basic rules for JCCA Diving and
the meet and practice schedules are available on the Lakeside CC website
(http://lakesidecountryclub.org ). Our first meet will be held in the beginning of June.
Practices will start on Saturday, May 4th at 10:00. A full meet schedule and practice
schedule for June and July will be provided later and will be posted in the Lakeside office.
The Meet of Champions will be held on Friday, July 19th. All dual meets will be held on
Monday nights at 6:30 pm. Please arrive no later than 6:00 for home meets and 5:00 for
away meets. For all away meets, we will practice at the opposing club for 1 hour prior to
the meet. The best way to learn about diving is to come watch our team practice. I am
always available after practices if you have any questions. If you need to reach me, my
phone number is 504-258-2961 (Cell). I can also be reached at jrbrew34@rtconline.com.
Make sure to check out our Facebook Page. Just search for “Lakeside Country Club Diving
Team”. I will provide updates on practices and any other important information via the FB
page and e-mail. I hope to see you at the practices and the meets. Please fill out the
attached form below and return it to me with your registration fee.
Sincerely,
Coach Rob Dauenhauer

Lakeside Country Club Summer Camp
Summer is right around the corner, which means it is time to start thinking about what to do with the kids.
Lakeside Country Club will have camp again this summer for the twelfth year. Camp will be available
beginning Tuesday, May 28th until Friday, August 16th. Swimming, tennis, arts and crafts, exercise, group
games, talent shows, movie day, and one special fun day each week, are some of the many activities that
campers will be enjoying. We are very excited that Ms. Kristi is returning as director of our summer camp
program, she will oversee all counselors and activities during the summer. Campers are assigned a group
based on their age and also their swim ability. However, all campers participate in all activities at the same
time so that if they have a friend that might be a little older they will not be separated.
We are also very happy to welcome back the CATZ (Completely Active Training Zone) fitness program.

their self discipline, gain confidence, enhance peer acceptance, promote their physical/mental well being and
enjoy exercise. Lakeside Country Club has partnered with Southshore Physical Therapy, LLC to provide a
