WILLY’ S GIVES BACK: Supporting Our Community Every Month

At Willy’s, giving back has always been close to our hearts. For years, we’ve quietly supported our community in many ways-like donating 100 Turkeys and all the fix-ins during Thanksgiving – but now we’re excited to share a bit more about these efforts with all of you. Every month, we’re committed to supporting a local cause, and here’s a look at what we’ve been up to:

October: We donated $1,000 to Helping Our Women, a wonderful organization assisting women in need across the Cape.

November: Just in time for Thanksgiving, we’re hosting a Pickleball tournament with proceeds supporting the Wellfleet Food Pantry. We’re proud to donate another $1,000 to help local families during the holiday season. Have you registered yet?

Looking ahead, we’re planning an event in January to support Cape Cod Hospital Orleans Auxiliary as part of our commitment to community health and well-being and The Cape Cod Toy Library!

Thank you for your participation in our tournaments, leagues and events- it’s your involvement that makes these donations possible. We couldn’t do it without you, and we’re grateful from the bottom of our hearts.

On November 16th, we are hosting a fun, competitive Pickleball Tournament and donating $1000 to The Wellfleet Pantry- register on courtreserve.com

As the Club Turns: The Quest for Better Health… or just some SANITY!

These days, I feel like I’ve got enough advice coming at me to fill a novel-or maybe a reality show! Between late night ads and internet articles, it seems there’s always a new “miracle routine” to keep me healthy. You know the ones: “Do this one thing before bed to reduce belly fat!” or “Drink this magic juice every morning for perfect cholesterol.”

I’ve now got a list of 15 things to do before bed and another 25 to tackle first thing in the morning. The irony? I end up rushing around so much that I’m already exhausted by the time I make it to the club. But then it hit me- every day, I walk into this great facility with all the equipment I could ever need. If I just set aside 30-40 minutes a few times a week, I can let go of all those “miracle” routines and actually enjoy a workout that leaves me feeling great. And even have time for a game or two of Pickleball!

As I’ve always said, Willy’s is the place everyone loves to leave- because you always feel better than when you walked in. I’m back to my workouts and couldn’t feel better!

A chilling Tale from the Poolside: The Mystery of the Emergency Exit Door It was the winter of 2020 when we crafted a cozy, enclosed space in front of the pool - our noble attempt to shield swimmers from the icy blasts in the winter and the heat in the summer every time the emergency exit door swung open. A warm sanctuary was born, keeping the pool inviting and toasty, even in the coldest months and cool in the hottest. But alas, a peculiar phenomenon emerged! Instead of taking the usual route through the front door some folks- neither swimmers nor polar bears- began sneaking out the pool's emergency exit, unleashing a frosty gust into the once-warm waters. Was it the allure of the forbidden door? A shortcut that whispered "just this once...?" We must now remind our dear friend's: the pool's emergency exit is just that- for emergencies only. Each time it's used improperly, the chill creeps back in, undoing the warm haven we've worked so hard to maintain. So, let's leave the door alone and keep the pool area cozy for everyone- unless, of course, you'd like to star in the next chilling episode of As The Club Turns!
