Happy Thanksgiving from the EYC
Happy Thanksgiving!
Fun fact about the Norse people (it is Door County after all)~ There was a celebratory dinner between Vikings and the Montauk Native Americans that took place more than 600 years prior to 1621 when the Montauk Indians hosted a dinner with 50 Vikings atop of Fort Hill. The Vikings would not have found their way to the Americas without sailing. Sailing in part allowed for the coming together of different cultures. The Ephraim Yacht Club, founded in 1906, has always focused on teaching sailing while promoting values like teamwork, responsibility, and respect for nature. Through its programs, the club helps students build life skills that support their growth as active, engaged members of the community.
Hopefully you received your Eagles Cry and if you read the Commodore Report, I wrote that your Board was committed to putting in place apparent donation opportunities for the Ephraim Yacht Club. We feel that it is time for EYC to humbly ask that you consider a donation to the EYC when you choose which organizations you will donate to this year. All donations support the EYC’s Mission and will ensure we can always say “See you on the dock” and “There will always be an Ephraim Regatta.”
If you are wondering how much to give, we created giving levels named in the spirit of EYC Fleets to help guide donations. All funds received will go towards the long term endowment, equipment or facilities upgrades. No donation is too small; any amount is greatly appreciated. All donations are tax-deductible. Gifts over $250 will automatically receive a tax-deduction letter.
