Bayside Resort Clubs

Ambassador Program

The Bayside Ambassadors are volunteers who are passionate about advancing the quality of life for their neighbors by partnering together to help close the information gap in our Bayside community. The Ambassadors’ mission is to build community through gatherings and projects and connecting neighbors to each other and to community resources.  We are the eyes, ears and voices of our neighborhood in Bayside.  The Ambassadors meet on the 2nd Tuesday or each month at 2:00pm in the Library at Signatures.

Bocce Club

The Bayside Bocce League, established in 2021 at the Signatures Clubhouse, has grown rapidly, featuring 24 teams with 239 players. The league offers a social, community atmosphere in the Spring and Fall. Exhibition games are played on Mondays and Tuesdays with a competitive, bracketed tournament at the end of each season.  Currently there is a waitlist for interested individuals and teams.

Bridge Club

The Bayside Bridge group is part of the Social Committee in our community. We meet twice a week – usually Tuesday and Thursday mornings – at Sun Ridge. Men and women who belong to the Bayside HOA and currently know how to play bridge are welcome to join.

 

If you are interested in being part of this group, please contact: Neysa Silvestri (410) 913-3564 via text or email at conncalar@verizon.net)

Caregivers Support Group

The Bayside Caregivers Support Group meets the second Monday of the month at the Sunridge Tennis and Rec Center meeting room at 10:00 AM.  Caregivers share their thoughts, feelings and experiences in a confidential setting.

 

A caregiver is a person who provides assistance and support to individuals who are unable to fully care for themselves due to illness, disability, or age-related issues. Caregivers can be family members, professionals, or volunteers who offer various levels of care, from basic daily assistance to complex medical support.

 

Education and resources are an important part of the program where speakers from the medical, first responders, legal and caregiving community provide support and helpful information that is essential for the wellbeing of the caregivers and their loved one.

 

For more information, contact Christine Dennis at chrisdennis60@gmail.com.

Chess Club

The Chess Club meets every Thursday afternoon starting at 3 PM, usually ending by 5 PM. Our default meeting place is the Boardroom at Signatures. If it’s not available, we will meet in the game room at Sun Ridge.

There is NO COST to play or join, and all experience levels are welcome. Our typical member experience is that they played many years ago and would like to get back into playing or they have never played before and would like to learn.

Christmas Giving Tree

Each Christmas season, in partnership with Phillip C. Showell Elementary school in Selbyville, we are given names of students in need. Students are able to request up to 5 gifts each and the requests are printed individually on tags that have been prepared by a few Social Committee members. The completed tags hang on a Holiday Tree in the foyer of the Health & Aquatic Club in late November.  

Bayside residents are welcome to take 1 or 2 tags from the tree, fill out their info, and return the wrapped and tagged gifts by a designated date. The gifts that are collected are then delivered to the school in December.

 

For the 2025 holiday season, we collected 190 gifts for 38 students.

Community Service

The Community Service Committee is dedicated to strengthening our community through meaningful service, and collaborative action. We strive to identify local needs, inspire volunteer engagement, with a  lasting positive impact. Our mission is to empower individuals to serve with purpose and to foster a culture of generosity that uplifts the entire community.

Delmarva Whiskey Club

The Delmarva Whiskey Club was established for whiskey fans. We welcome everyone, from those who have only recently begun to appreciate whiskey, to seasoned aficionados.

Our club exists to enjoy whiskeys from around the world and get together with other whiskey drinkers. Because if you drink whiskey…you can’t be all bad! Our meetings include club trips, whiskey pairings at local restaurants, a summer picnic, and a charitable golf outing.

Food Pantry

The Sondbergs – Donna and John – collect pantry items donated by the community that benefit the Indian River School District pantry program. Items are collected in designated containers located in the Mail Center as well as the Health and Aquatic Club.  Once a month, the donated items are delivered to the Howard T Ennis School in Georgetown.   

Juliets

The Bayside Juliets is a ladies’ social group limited to widows. The Juliets meet at different dining venues on the second Monday night each month.

In addition, at least 1 or 2 other activities or events are included during the week every month. These activities typically include game days/nights where a variety of games are played: bingo, bowling, Bunco, dominoes, Rumikub, trivia, and potluck dinners as examples. In addition, events may include day trips, movies, Performing Arts shows, Shorebirds baseball games, and trips arranged by local travel agents.

With the exception of the monthly Juliet dinner, all other activities and events are open to ladies, regardless of marital status as long as space or seats are available. 

A monthly newsletter is emailed to members and is also posted on the Bayside Juliet Facebook page.

The Bayside Community Travel Club brings together neighbors who share a passion for exploration, adventure, and lifelong learning. Whether you’re an experienced world traveler or simply enjoy discovering new places and cultures, our club offers opportunities to connect with fellow residents while experiencing memorable destinations near and far.

Our goal is to make travel enjoyable, educational, and stress-free by organizing group trips, sharing travel experiences, and providing access to carefully planned itineraries. Members enjoy the camaraderie of traveling with friends, the convenience of organized excursions, and the confidence that comes from exploring new destinations as part of a welcoming community.

We are excited to announce our 2027 travel lineup, which includes London in May, the Colorado Rockies in September, and Christmas in Victoria, BC, in December. These carefully selected trips offer members the chance to experience iconic destinations, breathtaking scenery, and memorable seasonal celebrations with fellow travelers.

Beyond the destinations themselves, the Bayside Community Travel Club is about building friendships, creating lasting memories, and enriching our lives through travel. Every journey offers an opportunity to learn something new, experience different cultures, and return home with stories to share.

We invite all Bayside residents to join us as we discover the world together—one adventure at a time.
