Special Events

In the coming months, keep an eye on Wakeman's website for more information about our upcoming special events!

BRICKS FOR FUN CAMPAIGN
Beginning in January, we will launch a "Bricks for Fun" campaign to sell personalized bricks in order to raise funds for a brand new playground at our Southport Clubhouse. The playground will be state of the art in terms of equipment, safety, and function. We'll be looking for support from everyone so that we can raise the funds and install the playground next fall. Details will be available in the lobby and on-line afer the first of the year. In the meantime, if you would like to join our committee or have any questions, please contact Clare, Clare@Wakemanclub.com or Ruben, Ruben@Wakemanclub.com or at 203-259-4805 or click here.
