Friday’s Shrimp dinner was a great success. What a feast! Many thanks to Bill & Sylvia Edwards, Rodger & Patty James, Ros & Sheryl Stovall, Dan Connolly, Al Buck, & Stan Haines for hosting Friday’s dinner. I am certain tonight’s crew (including Gail Kretchman, Wally & Joanne Sodosty, Pete & Jackie Christensen, Sherry Gartside, Scott & Guen Hultman, Jo Johnson & others) will carry on the tradition and it will be an outstanding meal as well. Thanks to everyone who comes out in support of the Club!
NEXT DINNER EVENT: Saturday August 26 – ITALIAN DINNER!
Hosted by Brad Beagle and Cory Rogers & crew. The menu will include Grilled Chicken Linguini with Alfredo Sauce, Baked Lasagna, Italian chopped Antipasti Salad, Garlic Bread, and for dessert, Tiramisu. Cost will be $15 per person cash. Please call or text Sandy to make a reservation today, don’t procrastinate! If you are making reservations for other members as well as yourself, please let her know. Reservations will close at the end of the day on Wednesday August 23.
Sunday August 20 from 1pm to 5pm
is the second annual LYC Art Show & Fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. There will be a wide variety of arts and crafts represented at this year’s show. A bake sale is also planned. We have a special liquor license for this event so please invite your friends as non-members can enjoy a glass of wine or other libation as they browse the offerings.
Tuesday August 22 is FERGBURGS
in support of the Sailing School. $10 per person donation gets you the best burger in town and choice of sides (potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, or Texas style creamed corn) along with Charro Beans for those who want to add some spice to their life. First burgers come off the grill at 5:30 p.m. and continue until 7:00 p.m. Two weeks ago saw us serve a record number of burgers (nearly 100). We are changing up the order process a bit. Like the “Alternate Tuesday” event, we ask that you place & pay for your order when you are ready to eat and the order will be submitted to the kitchen crew for preparation at that time. The current “order holding” process has become too unwieldy for the crew to manage. Let’s see how this works.
Thursday’s weekly sailboat race particulars will be announced later.
Friday August 25 is Cocktails at the Club
starting about 5:30 p.m. and continuing until 8 p.m. or so. Bring an appetizer to share if you wish and join this very informal gathering of members.
HEADS UP!
