[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here. There are some really nice families there and we have several friends that belong there but according to them they don’t go there anymore because they are disgusted by the way several members there have treated families and children in recent years. They go to other friends’ clubs now or host dinners at their homes or other clubs now instead.[/quote]

Just so I’m clear.  You have several friends who are paying thousands in annual dues who are so disgusted by Chevy chase that they won’t go there.  Why didn’t anyone of the several tell the others how horrific it was before they ponied up tens of thousands in initiation fees?  Also, they go to others friends clubs or host dinners?  Why not just join the other friends clubs?  Who cares about the initiation fees when they’re paying $10k a year to NOT go to Chevy Chase. Host dinners instead of going to the club? Really?  Hi, thank you for coming.  We would have invited you to the club but they’re all racist.  Your post is absurd. [/quote]

When you have large beautiful homes it can be more enjoyable to have dinner parties in the privacy of your own home and have them catered rather than at a club. We often get invited to friends’ homes for large dinner parties and they have them catered. Many people have homes which are perfect for entertaining and if they are traveling often or out at functions they prefer to host in their home when they can. [/quote]

Missed the point. PP indicated that their friends are dues-paying members at Chevy Chase (I’m not a member there, but annual dues and minimums are likely over $10,000 per year) but choose to “host” dinners at other people’s clubs (which isn’t even a thing — you, by definition, don’t host at clubs you don’t belong to).  [/quote]

Poster never said they were hosting at other peoples clubs. They said they host at “other” clubs. Sounds like you’re the one that doesn’t realize that many people belong to several different clubs where they can host events and dinners such as the Metropolitan club, Sulgrave, Cosmos, and some people belong more than one country club. That’s not uncommon for Several people belong to Sulgrave as well as I can think of several people that belong to more than to more than one country club for a variety of reasons (usually because of business reasons). I think of 5 such people off of the top of my head. [/quote]
