ALCA Pontoon Float Party – July 20, 2025

Happy Summer!

It’s back: the ALCA Float Party, having been a success in years past (pre COVID, I believe) is once again happening!  We plan to meet on our (or our friends’) respective pontoons at the “deep spot” on Austin Lake at 2pm on Sunday July 20th.  We will raft together, share beverages (adult, of course!) and share snacks.  Swimming will be a good option, so wear your suits!

Afterwards, Julie and Andy Lenczycki will be our hosts for a dinner party on land.  Please bring a snack to share on the water and a dish to pass for dinner.  Also, BYOB.  Dishes to pass should be brought to their house before meeting on the lake.  Julie and Andy’s address is 9833 Woodlawn Dr. Portage. They have offered their pontoon as a “host boat” for those who don’t live on the lake – if you wish to board their boat, be at their place no later than 1:45 pm that Sunday.  

This is a great time for any non-members to join as social members for $10 to help the fleet with the cost of this event and any future events for the year.  Otherwise, a $5 donation is greatly appreciated. 

Please RSVP to this email or to Julie, crew480@yahoo.com if you are attending and, for lake members, if you will be out on your pontoon.  For off the lake members, RSVP if you will be joining us and need a ride on the Lenczycki boat.  

We look forward to seeing you! Kathy 

Update:

Hey gang,

Reminder to drop off your dish to pass for dinner before floating, I plan to make baked beans as my dish so our oven will be turned on and to keep your dish warm.  FYI – we decided to get the flavored chicken brats & beef hot dogs from H+B Market to grill once we get off the water, I will have a tin packet of peppers & onions to grill for additional toppings.  The weather is looking good for a hot & sticky day on Sunday…don’t forget your sunscreen and lake floaties!!!

Also, if you have not RSVP’d please do by Friday, so I know how many brats/hot dogs to purchase.

Thanks!

Spring Series Week #3 – May 20, 2025

Hi All!

Mother Nature just won’t give us a break!  Tuesday we’re looking at a cloudy day with a high of 58 degrees and breezy conditions of 10-20 mph ENE winds and an 80% chance of rain, even into the evening.  I am the Race Chair (🥶❄️❄️) with Dave Dunlap assisting on Jeff Daane’s pontoon boat.  We typically do not cancel until after 5 because we all know how the weather can change from the original forecast. After sailing we will go to Main Street Pub on Westnedge.

Last Tuesday there was a discussion about mid summer social activities, and how much fun our float parties used to be.  So, the ALCA FLOAT PARTY IS BACK this year!  Save the date for Sunday July 20th.  Paid members will receive details on upcoming details for this event.  In the meantime, let me know if you are on the lake and will be joining us via pontoon.  We need at least 5 boats to accommodate the non-lake members who will be attending.  

Just a reminder, if you have a question or comment – just reply to this email (to me), not the entire mailing list (as in reply to all),  unless you really want the whole fleet to receive your comment!
