Good Sunday Evening LYC!
Where did July go? Wasn’t the 4th just this past Thursday? I’m pretty certain August will follow at the same blinding speed. But for tonight, just kick back and enjoy what is left of National Milk Chocolate Day. Also on this day in 1907, Earl S. Tupper, an American inventor, developed plastic storage containers with tight-fitting lids known as Tupperware. The first Tupperware party followed the next day.
This week at LYC:
Tuesday July 30 -“Grilled Chicken & Shredded Pork” in support of the Youth Sailing School. Menu offering includes: Shredded pork or grilled chicken breast sandwiches (both of which are receiving rave reviews) served on a toasted bun with a variety of condiments available, french fries, and coleslaw, all for $12 per person. Serving from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. All proceeds go to the Sailing School. Skip cooking Tuesday dinner at home, come down to the club, enjoy some genuine LYC camaraderie and support the LYSS. Members and their guests are welcome.
