Welcome to Falll

/

Fall has come, which means cooler days and night, and some of the more popular socials at WRYC. Oktoberfest is happening this coming Saturday, October 5. Thanks to all of those that have volunteered to help as well as those that will be in attendance. It will be a great time. The annual Oyster Roast is coming up quick and you can RSVP for that now. I would highly recommend doing so!

Even though the weather is starting to get cooler, there is still plenty of time to get out on the water, or use the club, even if it is just for a nice walk. The club belongs to you, use it!

The Board of Directors meeting is October 8 at 6:30pm. As always, meetings are open to the membership.

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.

Membership Updates and Fall Happenings...

Welcome new members: Chris & Liz Brown, Raven Hundley, & Lew & Paula Volk.

Chris and Liz Brown and their children Mitch, Nolan, and Lilli. 

The Summer Soirée held on July 26th was an absolute success. I want to thank Megan Kerns and Olivia Wilson of Celladora Wines for providing a smorgasbord of wine and food pairings. Sarah Williams provided live music and we danced the night away - the weather cooperated for a spectacular evening!

The next Pickleball Social is Saturday, September 14th at 2pm. Come on down with a friend and enjoy a casual afternoon of pickle ball instruction, round robin play, and food! No experience necessary and spectators are welcome. RSVP to joshuajamesnp@gmail.com.

Trivia Night will be resuming this Fall and will be open to the community. The next trivia night is planned for October - be on the lookout for more information.
