From the Helm

2024 has really flown by, but, it has been a great year! August saw the 60th Governor’s Cup, which was great success. A special thanks to Jim Garrett and Scott Titus for the extremely hard work that they put in to organizing everything. There are so many others that volunteered that I am scared to list them individually as I am sure that I will forget someone, but THANK YOU!! The storms and power outage made for a memorable event, yet everything went off perfectly.

On September 1st, there was a game night at the club that was well attended, it is great to see members attending events and enjoying themselves. Your next chance for a good time is coming up quickly, October 5th for Oktoberfest. The event has been planned from Germany by René and Marcus Seiler, and they will be flying over to host it again. Show your support by coming, and if you’re feeling the spirit, throw on your Lederhosen or Dirndln. Mathews and York River Yacht Clubs have been invited and the event is open to the public. I strongly encourage registering sooner rather than later. You can do that on wryc.org or email wareriveryc@gmail.com.

Even though it is September, the water is still warm and the breeze is still blowing. Go out and use the club!

Reminder that Board meetings are always open to the membership and are held on the second Tuesday of the month at 6:30pm.
