| Feb 26, 2011 | No-Boat Dinner | 5:30pm Happy Hour Drury Inn, O'Fallon, IL |
The "year-end" event for 2010 (which is ironic, because
it's in 2011), is a get-together for the entire club, where we
actually wear something other than swimsuits (possibly, depending on
the theme). LIke all club events, there is always fun to be had. Invitations will be mailed to each member. |
| Apr 16 | Spring Thaw and Flea Market | Clubhouse and pavilion | Come have breakfast served by our new commodore,

| Jun 11 | Tapas on the Dock | On the docks | Have some beverages and enjoy snacks (tapas)

| Oct 1 | Commodore's Cup and Chili Supper | Clubhouse and pavilion | This is our annual lake-wide regatta and social function. It is always well attended by our fellow sailors on the lake. The chili is always great and the camaraderie special. Plan on attending our big event of the year. Remember: it is not necessary to race to enjoy a fine evening of chili and good times. |
