Year End Awards Banquet – October 29, 2016
Hi Everyone!
Wanted to remind all of you of our upcoming party/dinner/meeting next week. We will be gathering in our own room at Comensoli’s in downtown Kalamazoo. We start with a cocktail hour with fleet provided appetizers, then move to dinner (family style salad also provided by fleet), then will have our annual officer elections/trophy awards. Please RSVP to Julie at crew480@yahoo.com with your dinner choice. The attached flyer will give you details of the menu. Also, I will be finding out what the weekly special is going to be very soon, so will send an update out with the specifics of that dish. I’m so looking forward to it, it’s going to be a great time!
Summer Series Week 10 – Sep 6, 2016
Tonight marks our last night of Tuesday night racing for the year – mother nature has given us a summer day with SW winds 10 – 15 mph. At racing time, it’s supposed to be 9 mph out of the west. Later we go to Brewster’s. Save the date for the year-end celebration, on Saturday Oct 29th, at a place TBD soon!
Racing Cancelled for Week 9 – August 30, 2016
Once again, due to a lack of wind, racing has been cancelled for this wee. We only have one week of “racing” left in the Summer Series. Hopefully we race next week!
Summer Series Week 9 – August 30, 2016
Getting down to the wire here. Only two weeks left – IF mother nature is kind to us! Tuesday we’re looking at 83 degrees, party sunny, with a 40-60% chance of thunderstorms and WSW winds of 5 mph. Can you dig it? (LOL)
Anyway, we are planning to meet at Brewsters – don’t have the big room for tomorrow night, but have been assured that we will have space in the main dining room.
Year – end party is scheduled for Saturday Oct 29th.
Summer Series Week 8 – Aug 23, 2016
Hard to believe, it’s week 8 this Tuesday! We’re looking at a sunny evening with temps around 80 degrees, and winds out of the south at 5-10 mph. After sailing, we are meeting at Brewsters.
We are starting to plan our year end party, date has been set at Saturday Oct 29th, so save the date and stayed tuned.
If you haven’t already, please look at the directory I sent out last week and make sure your information is correct.
Summer Series Week 7 – 8/16/16
We are all set for racing Tuesday – with race chair Jesse Ward, Dave and Gail’s boat and with Gail and Keith running the races, so all we need now is for mother nature to cooperate. It does look promising, the rain is going to end, and they’re predicting that we’ll have partly sunny skies with WNW winds at around 7 mph at 6 pm. We meet at Brewster’s following the races.
