Two shoutouts!
First, thanks to Mark & Patty Otto and their crew for an excellent Mexican Dinner Saturday night…great start to the season. Thanks Mark & Patty for hosting!
Second, a big Thank You to Steve Wegener who, by himself, applied sealer to all the docks this past week. It’s a big job and is crucial to preserving and prolonging the life of our dock system. Thanks Steve!
Things on tap in the near future:
Tuesday May 25: Fergburgs will be served up by Gary Ferguson and crew from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in support of the Youth Sailing School. The process will be similar to last year. The plan is to have burgers to order as in the past but in addition, you will choose 2 of 4 different sides (potato salad, cole slaw, beans, or cream corn). The order will come in “to go” packaging that you can take to an indoor (50 person limit), outdoor table, or take home to eat. Orders will be placed, paid for, and picked up at or near the south entrance. Since this event is a fundraiser for the LYSS, cash or check is the acceptable form of donation (no membership card punches). Recommended donation is $10 per person. The suggested donation reflects the addition of sides and the packaging materials required plus the significant increase in food cost.Friday May 28: Cocktails at the Club starting around 5:30 p.m. If you wish to bring an appetizer to share, feel free to do so.
Tuesday June 1: Alternate Tuesday fundraiser for LYSS. Jill Kaines and crew are serving up “Potato Pigs” consisting of a baked potato topped with BBQ pulled pork, cheese, bacon, and green onion with sour cream on the side along with a side salad for $10 per person. Since this is a fundraiser for LYSS, membership card “punches” will not be honored; cash or check will. Serving from 5:30 – 7:00 p.m. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. And, always available to go.
