Summer at the Club!

We hope this finds you all well and enjoying your summer.

Things continue to improve at the Club thanks to all of you and your support. 

We have a lot of exciting news!

~ Our BRAND NEW Fitness equipment has been installed and is working great.  Getting the equipment in was the easy part. Using it is the hard part. Let's take that step!

~ Our golf tournament, on Friday August 14th has filled up and we continue to get new hole sponsors everyday. If you are available to volunteer at the event or at the Club after, please let us know.  If you would consider sponsoring a hole, please sign up online or at the club asap.

~We've decided that a portion of the proceeds from our Golf Tournament will go to:
Ray Rinaldi and his Athletic and Education Centers.  Ray is very appreciative of this gesture and understands that Pastimers appreciate his hard work supporting our communities young people.

~ We are in the process of updating our Club entry system for security and accountability purposes.  The first step was to install a camera at the door so that our employees can see and talk to those trying to enter without a membership card prior to entry. Guests are always welcome at the Club but must be accompanied by a member as always.

~ The next step will be to install a new door lock system which will give us the opportunity to distribute membership cards and key fabs that can be automatically activated every year, instead of sending new cards.  We hope to accomplish this by October when we normally send new membership cards.  If any member has a new or lightly used desktop computer that they would donate for use with this system it would be appreciated and you could contact us here anytime.

~ Thank you to John Brown and Ed Bailey for all their hard work painting around the Club, repairing/restoring our bowling lanes and for helping out in many other ways.

~ We've hired a new Bartender! Lauren Burgess is excited to be at the Club during the day from 11-5 M-F.  Please stop in and introduce yourself to Lauren. You will still see Rick Russo around the Club but he will no longer be tending bar.

~ We are continuing to evaluate our pub and banquet menu and hours.  We will be sending out a survey to all of you before finalizing new plans for the fall.

~ Plans for our shower/steam room renovation are continuing.  We are approaching this in a responsible manner and cannot afford to rush this project.  We will have more information soon.

Spring at the Pastime Athletic Club

We hope this finds you all well!

Although Syracuse Basketball isn't marching us into spring, there is a lot to enjoy at the Club and in the sporting world. 

Come down to work on your golf swing and bring the kids to get a jump on their baseball swing in our hitting cages.

NCAA Basketball action daily! 

Live European Soccer on regularly in the afternoon.

Baseball is getting underway and we will be happy to tune in to any available game you'd like to see.

Our Men's Monday basketball playoff's start this week at 6:00pm. Come down to see some interesting and entertaining basketball. You might not be impressed but you won't be dissapointed. Drinks are allowed in the gym but as always, take out what you bring in and let's keep the popcorn in the bar.

Needs and Wants

We are planning to upgrade our front door buzzer to a video doorbell for the safety of our employees. This will give our employees the option of seeing/speaking to who is at the door before buzzing them into the building if needed. We are in need of a small tablet for the interface portion of the system. The tablet can be iOS iPod or iPad or an Android device of any size. If you have something that is not used and could be donated to the club it would be greatly appreciated.

We are always looking for old sporting material from Pastimes, Syracuse or any other local sports pictures, signs, banners, trophies etc, for Club rooms.  These can be dropped off at the bar or left in the outer office.

News

Thank you very much to John Brown for restoring the old Welcome Pastime A.C. sign that hung in the gymnasium for many years, was destroyed and is now back and hanging proudly.

Anthony Bourdain - (CNN travel/food connoisseur) visited the Club on December 16th and graciously accepted a Membership.
Despite the rumors, he was not in search of our old Sauerbraten recipe.  He came to the Club to visit one of our members, Frank Shattuck, who he is working on a project with.  We are grateful to Frank that he included us and that the Club will play a part in their project. We will share more information about it when it is complete. We were able to give Anthony the insiders tour of the Club and discuss where we have come and where we hope to go. He applauded our achievements and encouraged us to continue our efforts, recognizing that, what we have, is quite unique in American culture.  

Please continue to let us know how we can improve your Club experience.

Thank you for your support!
