publication of the petroleum club of long beach - new look pipeline magazine april 2013
DESCRIPTION
New look for Pipeline Magazine April-2013. There has been much input from members regarding the Pipeline and I have attempted to take many of the suggestions to create the new Pipeline. It may not have as pretty a front cover photo though it gives us more space for information. Thank you to everyone for your input. It is much appreciated!TRANSCRIPT
Mother’s Day Champagne Brunch is a popular family event and a
tradition at the LBPC.
We will be offering the delectable Mother’s Day Brunch that
members have become accustomed to and enjoy.
Mimosas will be served to all women 21 and older.
Our buffet is priced at only $26.00 for adults and $13.00 for children 10
and younger. Games to keep the youngsters busy.
Please join us on Sunday, May 12 to honor the day. Bring along friends
and family...Mothers need to be pampered and need a break from
the kitchen. We are the perfect place to leave the dishes behind.

receive a food and beverage credit.
New look for Pipeline. There has been much input from members regarding the Pipeline and I
have attempted to take many of the suggestions to create the new Pipeline. It may not have
as pretty a front cover photo though it gives us more space for information. Thank you to
everyone for your input. It is much appreciated!
We also want to thank Maria for jumping in and doing the Pipeline when the Club needed
someone. She can now devote her time to her profession...Club accounting.
President’s Message
Dear Members,
Spring is upon us and it is a time of new beginnings and
fresh starts. You will begin seeing new happenings at
the Club along with aesthetic changes that you have
all been awaiting. The flooring in the bar (soon to have
a real name) will be installed by the time you receive
this Pipeline and it will be a welcomed change. There
has been a delay in the Red Room carpeting
installation though have no fear it has been ordered.
As soon as the Red Room update is completed with
the carpeting, the new photos and lighting, we will be
ready to show off our new look. We will be sending
Save the Dates and invitations for a Member and
Prospective Member Party. Not only will we be showing
off the Club, we will be showing off an updated menu
and announcing the new name for the bar with a
ribbon cutting. Don’t forget to send your suggested
names for the bar. You still have time. You will also be
able to meet Rahm Fama, an Executive Chef and
Food Network Segment Chef, who has been working
with our kitchen staff.
Monday is no longer Monday Night Football it has
become Monday Sports Night. All sports fans come on
in and join us-there is always some type of sport to be
watched or another member to play shuffle board,
cards or board games.
If you have not joined us for Taco Tuesday, you are
missing out on delicious tacos by Ernie. His presentation
is competitive with the Food Network Chefs. Check it
out on Facebook. We occasionally have
entertainment. March we had Kindred Spirit Jazz Band
and they were fantastic. They will be joining us this
month so check in with us.
Thursday is still Live Entertainment at the Club. Rotating
between Power Trip, our very popular band, and
Karaoke with Robin which is also very popular. Robin
has songs for everyone.
Please do not miss out on this year’s Mother’s Day
Champagne Brunch. Mother’s all need to be
appreciated.
If we do not have your email, please call the office to
let us know. This way you will not miss out on any last
minute entertainment opportunities and don’t forget to
like us on Facebook.
The entire staff and I eagerly look forward to serving
you and hope to see you on a regular basis at your
Club.
Onward and upward,
Bette Bloom
From the General Manager’s Desk
Dear Friends,
Well it appears that Spring has sprung and we are
moving right along in this new year. For those of
you that have had the opportunity to visit the
Club lately I hope you’re seeing and feeling the
effects of the business plan as things unfold. Like
any best laid plan, we have already had our
share of hurdles, but we will continue to press on. I
think there is definitely a palpable feeling of all the
good works around the Club with both the
members and staff. Hopefully you all agree. We
still have a long way to go with our marketing,
sales and improvement efforts, but we will
continue to keep our head down, our legs active
and pray that the wind stays at our back. I have a
had a few members approach me with questions
and concerns about the status of our plan and all
I can say in this brief writing is that we are
continuing to move forward with all of the actions
as discussed in previous member meetings. As
always, I am available to discuss any specific
questions or concerns that someone may have.
Unfortunately, my work obligations have
increased lately and I haven’t been able to enjoy
the Club as often as I might like, but I did have the
opportunity to spend some time with my daughter
there for a Pub Night. It was karaoke night and
she had a ball. Everyone was having a good time
and it was a great night at the Club. Pub night
seems to really have taken off. If you get a
chance to come out on a Thursday night, bring in
your family and friends. It’s sure to be a good
time.
If Thursdays don’t work for your schedule, fear not!
The Club will now be open 5 nights a week for
Happy Hour. Please see Bette or Gonzalo for the
specific times and events planned. Also, Mother’s
Day is fast approaching, so make your
reservations early and come in and help us
celebrate that special day. Thank you all for your
support and see you at the Club!

We’re Having a White Elephant Party!
Tuesday, April 2, 2013
At The Petroleum Club
Please bring a wrapped white elephant. It should be something you have around the
house that you don’t want any more.
Hello everyone,
This April we have decided to do a white
elephant party at our luncheon. So please look
around your home and find something you have
been meaning to throw out. Just wrap it up and
bring it to the luncheon. It should be a lot of fun
and different from our usual venue's.
I hope this finds you all well. Don't forget our
brunch for Easter Sunday. Make your
reservations as soon as possible. Hope to see
you around the club.
May God Bless all of you,
Caroline
