Derby Success

May saw the annual Flag Raising and Derby Day event, which was a huge success! I think we were all shocked with the race results, and I am still thinking about those tomato bites from Creekside. Many thanks to Joshua James for stepping up to the plate and planning the social beautifully, and Harry Taylor for keeping the libations flowing.

Onto a more somber note: thanks to those that volunteered to set-up and clean-up, however, the July 4th Social is cancelled. With no one to host the event, we unfortunately had to come to this conclusion.

A reminder that the socials here at WRYC do not just magically happen (though we have a few fairy godmothers who make it appear that way). We need volunteers to step up and host the socials, or we will continue to “read the room” as members simply aren’t interested in socials.

What does it take to be a host/hostess?

Host/Hostess: can be a single person, or a group. The host can choose the time of the event, food, entertainment, decor, budget, you name it! You would have creative liberty on designing the event, and overall planning. You may choose to have the event catered or served by volunteers. All expenses on the Club's dime, and can either be reimbursed or utilize a Club credit card. We do ask to keep on budget (meaning, attempt to break even/profit when setting a ticket price and expected number of guests).

-Set-Up: reports to the host on when to arrive to the event, and may include hanging up decor, setting tables, serving food/beverages, grilling, etc.

-Clean-Up: stays after the event to help get the Club back in shape for the next event.

A social committee is now being formed. The committee would be a group of members dedicated to the success of social events (could be game nights, movie nights, potlucks, etc.) If you have the time and would like to be a member of this committee, raise your hand!
