UAW Country Club (members only)

Did you know the UAW has a country club? Check it out here.
From the web site...

Black Lake Golf Club is the newest addition to the UAW’s Walter and May Reuther Family Education Center, situated on 1,000 heavily forested acres along the southeast side of Black Lake, one of Michigan’s largest inland lakes near Onaway, Michigan.

Black Lake Golf Club complements the Center’s recreational facilities, which now include a beautiful gym with two full-sized basketball courts, an Olympic-size indoor pool, and exercise and weight room, table-tennis and pool tables, a sauna, beaches, walking and bike trails, softball and soccer fields and a boat launch ramp.

The UAW selected one of golf’s most acclaimed course architects, Rees Jones, to design an environmentally responsible, championship caliber course. It was a challenge eagerly embraced by Jones, Golf World Magazine’s “Architect of the Year” in 1995.

Also from the website, here is some info on memberships...

So Media pressures the Big 3 execs into hitch-hiking down to DC to be treated like children at the congressional hearings...not one word about the UAW Country Club. But at least I feel a little better that not ALL union dues go to democrat coffers, they spent some on a golf course that can be used for four months of the year. Though, the Olympic sized pool is indoors so presumably could be used all year...
