MEMBER SINCE 2004: A representative on the Member Advisory Board of the Club, Paul says, "Our family has made so many great memories at the Club. Some of my favorites were having my wife, Karen's, surprise 40th birthday in the old paddle house. It was our closest friends getting together in one of our favorite places. A few years later, Karen and I hosted her parents' 70th birthdays in the renovated Lake Room. Indian Trail offers all our family members so many ways to relax and unwind close to home. Whether it is on the courts, in the water, on the softball field, or at the bar, we love the spirit there. For us, ITC means hanging out with both old and new friends.

MEMBER SINCE 1988: When the Porters first joined the Club, the family would spend hours on the beach and in the grove. Rosemary recalls, "The highlight of my children's day was playing running bases on the beach when they were young. We called the club 9-9 because they never wanted to leave. As they grew, swimming became a big part of their days and I remember traveling with them to all the other clubs in the area for swim meets. It was a great team with tons of spirit." All four of the Porter siblings, David, Cassandra, Xander, and Brandon, loved to play tennis and spent long days on the court, where they learned sportsmanship, discipline, and dedication. When they were older, each of them became junior pros, teaching tennis to the younger children. Today, the Porter children are located all around the country, but Rosemary says, "Our family still spends a lot of time at ITC, playing tennis, paddle and dining. Our son Brandon moved to Franklin Lakes last July and the first thing he did was join the Club. He and his wife Lauren both joined paddle teams and spend a lot of time there with their two children. Things have come full circle, in fact, Brandon is now teaching his son to play paddle. When David, Cassandra, and Xander come back home, the first place they head to is the Club. It has been our favorite place to be for over 30 years and we are forever grateful to the McBrides for giving us a place to call home."

MEMBERS SINCE 1963: One of the longest standing members currently at the Club, Joan always got a kick out of the fact that her membership number was below 100. "I loved all the friendships we were able to form at the Club. When we joined the town was booming and Urban Farms was THE place to live," says Joan. "We were all the same age and had children that were the same age. One of the best things that came out of our membership was the opportunity to introduce our family to paddle and tennis. I also loved the Sunday night movies that were screened at the Lake House." Her daughter JoAnn Irwin grew up at the Club and fondly recalls watching fireworks out on the lawn and participating in the Junior Olympics. JoAnn says, "I chose to have my wedding at ITC because the view is unparalleled. It is a special place to my family because all three of my daughters were married there as well, and the staff bent over backwards to make each wedding perfect." Over the years JoAnn enjoyed playing in many tennis and paddle tournaments alongside her daughters and adds, "Best of all is that now two of my three daughters are members with their own families, and I get to watch my grandchildren enjoy the beautiful grounds just as their moms did, and as I did before them."
