Letter from the President

Dear Somerset Rec Club Members and Friends,

These are challenging times for our nation and even here at home. Since its founding in 1963, the Somerset Rec Club has continued to provide family recreation to this community through numerous other recessions. The Rec Club has endured because it represents the best of American life—a safe and welcoming family environment, healthy recreation for all ages, and importantly, a sense of community where neighbors and friends come together. We will continue to provide that special place this year, and yet we are also very aware of the economic stress even here in Somerset. So, this year, we are previewing a new pricing structure—that other non-profits have tried with success—which allows flexibility and we hope removes a potential barrier allowing more families to join.

The Board is also committed to improving the Rec Club as your headquarters for family recreation. We have a new logo and a new website to guide you to your favorite activity. The Swim Team welcomes an exciting new Head Coach, Erica Sorensen. And, of course, we’ll have swimming and tennis for the whole family, adult lap swim, swim and tennis lessons, tennis team, water polo, water aerobics, and more. We are also going to try something new—Family Recreation Nights that might include volleyball, badminton, basketball, or other fun activities. We will bring back our popular social activities including the 4th of July Potluck, Casino Night, and Movie Nights. Someret Rec Club is the perfect Staycation Destination for the whole summer.

Charlie Klinge, SRC President
