  dining experience for our members, their
  families, and guests. To this end the club is
  conceived as a private club experience that
  moderate income families in the area can afford
  and enjoy while making it a highly desirable
  opportunity for higher income families as well.
  The board of directors will operate this facility
  in a fiscally sound manner while fostering a
  feeling of kinship and fellowship among the
  members and guests.

  afford concerned members the opportunity to

  Directors that this document will be used by this
