March 7th: Sailors Dinner Our second annual event so named will be a chance for members new and old, sailboaters and powerboaters to gather for a buffet style dinner at the club, which we hope will serve as an introduction to members who might be curious about the who, what, when of sailboat racing in and around our club. We hope to introduce potential crew to boats looking for crew, to invite those with powerboats share in the fun of running the races, and to encourage those who might want to help out as race committee for our events to enquire about how to do so.
