FROM THE HELM

Well - it happened again. Good weather, great food, and then fireworks. The labor Day social was a winner. People commented that they could not remember a spaghetti dinner at the Club in the past. The presentation was attractive, choices plentiful, and tasted great. Thanks to Nick’s Spaghetti and Steakhouse for their efforts. Thanks again to the Davis/Fenstermacher/Davis team for hosting.

Jane Smith was true to her word and was able to organize the fireworks. Thank you for your efforts. Bill Fenstermacher and Jay McGlohn ran the show which was remarkable - far more extensive than expected and enjoyed by all.

Next up is Oktoberfest. Harry and Autumn have been planning this event for some time - I expect it will be a lot of fun. Great food as advertised on the menu. Plan to attend and have another fun evening.

Third out of six: Please plan to attend the Annual Meeting in January. Facility and budgetary issues need to be addressed. We will attempt to provide information before the meeting so that all are aware.

Monthly Quiz-who said - still in the sports arena: “The only place success comes before work is the dictionary.” “Defeat is worse than death, because you need to live with defeat.”

Flag Raising, Derby Day, and more!

Hopefully you RSVP’d for our annual Flag Raising/Derby Day, hosted by our own Joshua James—this will be an event you will be sad to miss! Thanks to Joshua for stepping up and carrying on this wonderful tradition. If you would like to assist in set up or clean up, we are always looking for available hands to help keep our Club active.

We still need volunteers to assist in our July 4th celebration—many great ideas and feedback was given after last year’s event, so now is your chance to put them into action! Contact Autumn Taylor at bariautumn@gmail.com or WRYC wareriveryc@gmail.com to sign up as host or volunteer!
