We had a great year end banquet on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at Main Street Pub on Westnedge in Portage. This was a VERY welcome change from last year’s CoVid-19 Zoom Year End Party! We had the whole outside patio area to our group and the weather super cooperated with holding off on the rain until after 10 PM. Our server, Callie, knows Austin Lee and has sailed with him a few times. She is also on the WMU Sailing Team. Callie did a great job with our large group, and kept the food and drinks coming.
Trophies were given out to sailors. The Most Improved New Skipper award this year (mainly due to CoVid) was not awarded, as none of the new skippers had enough races to be qualified for consideration. Andy Lenczycki took the award for Most Improved Seasoned Skipper this year. The full results sheet is posted on the Series Results page, after the spring and summer, A & B fleet results (just before the 2020 results heading). If you click on the picture, you can get/download a larger version.
Reminder that this Saturday, October 2, 2021 is the ALCA Year End Awards Banquet. We have reserved the patio for this event. If the weather is not suited for an outdoor event, we will move to the inside. Please wear your masks and look for more information in our weekly emails.
Where: Main Street Pub, 7509 S. Westnedge, Portage, Michigan
When: Saturday, October 2, 2021
What Time: Beginning at 5 PM – come late and miss the appetizers
Who: All registered fleet members and RSVP’s guests
RSVP To: Julie Lenczycki if you plan on being there
What’s Happening: Year end trophy presentations for A & B Fleet, Most Improved New & Seasoned Skipper Awards, vote on fleet officers for upcoming year (if you are not present, you may be nominated).
Remember we have our year-end party on Saturday, October 19th at Lodo’s. If you haven’t RSVP-ed your dinner choices yet to Julie and me, please do! Thank you to those who have already. The dinner selections are:
Also, for those of you who have ordered ALCA/World’s shirts, the cost turned out to be $19 each. Lori will have the shirts on the 19th at the party, please bring your money to pay her then. If you ordered a shirt and can’t make it to the party, please pay Lori some other way.
Finally, when many of us are planning our ski trips, there’s still more sailing to be had. A few of us were thinking of getting out on Austin L. (Sunday 9/6/19) for some fun sailing – the World’s are less than a month away, and we don’t want to forget what being on the boat, at the tiller or jib sheets feels like……. IF the bug hits you, please join us!
Just thought of something so you can remember the money for the shirts…… $19 on the 19th! LOL!
This year’s Year End Party will be at LoDo’s starting with happy hour at 5:30 pm and we will eat about 6:30-6:45 with awards and elections to follow. Please RSVP to either Kathy or Julie with what you want to eat. The fleet will provide appetizers for the happy hour but you will be responsible for your entree and it will be a cash bar, they will do separate checks.
Here are the choices to rsvp with by October 14:
Sirloin with roasted potatoes
Chicken Scampi
Fish and Chips
