This Week at the EYC June 22-30
The EYC begins to get busier this week with the traditional Opening Social. Plus, everything else is running full bore – lessons, racing, bridge, youth activities, bunco, you name it.
The EYC’s free OPENING SOCIAL is at 6:00 PM on Saturday, June 22 at the EYC, rain or shine. The EYC will provide wine, beer and soft drinks. Members are asked to bring an appetizer to share. As a fundraiser, we will be auctioning off the naming rights to the EYC’s newest Laser, so bring your checkbook and your most creative boat name! This event is open to EYC members and guests ages 18 and up, and to all EYC staff and their spouses. EYC members are particularly encouraged to bring guests who might be interested in EYC membership. Sorry, no dogs at this event.
