It is officially summer time with the arrival of our Regatta!  But before I discuss the busy month ahead of us, I have to mention our Back to Summer Party.  As usual it was a great event & everyone enjoyed the food and music.  A special thanks to Bobby Townsend and Atlantic for providing the tent for our function. 
  The regatta is a weeklong celebration at the club.  On Monday, June 9th, we start the week with a happy hour prior to our general meeting.  As usual, we will be serving Pina Coladas at 6:30pm. Our great cooking committee will serve the usual fabulous dinner later that night ( at 7pm), followed by a short business meeting.
  On Wednesday, frozen margaritas will be served, complete with lime & salt.  As usual, we ask that you bring a snack to add to the celebration.  Of course the big night is Friday, with the traditional cocktail party hosted by the Ladies Auxiliary.  Having gone to many a club, I can say that this is by far the best party that any club gives for their regatta.  Come and enjoy!  Please help the ladies when they call.
  The regatta will be Saturday and Sunday.  Our Vice-Commodore, Bruce, will need everyone’s support.  We expect over 130 boats this year, so come at noon to see the fleet leave the club.  We will finish off of the dock on both days, so stay and see the excitement.  We will have food available most of the day, and nothing is finer than the french-fries at regatta.  The awards will be given on Sunday after the racing is completed, and there are some very special awards given to club members.
 I would like to thank the fishing committee for all their hard work in getting the tournament together, especially Bobby, Rick, Larry, Evans & Ron who have done this for years.  I remind club members to get involved as this committee, as well as all others committees, are looking for some new blood.
