The annual June Dinner Dance is Saturday night, June 7. Definitely put this date in your calendar and plan to attend this great Club event in Kingston.  You can reserve your slip now. They have four 50 ft slips, ten 40 ft slips and ten 30 ft slips that can be reserved. There are also ten first-come first-served slips available. It would be a good plan to reserve early, but in any event at least 3 days before the Dinner Dance as they have a three day minimum cut-off for reservations. You pay the first night’s moorage when you make the reservation, refundable (for a subsequent, non-reservable date within six months) if you cancel at least 24 hours ahead. The number to call is Kingston Marina at 360-297-3545.

The theme this year will be “A Night at the Movies”. Start planning your costume now. The choices are almost infinite, and I am sure we will see some interesting costumes. I plan fun prizes for categories yet to be determined. That is what committees are for. Dave and Cory are once again planning the menu. I know that you will have Halibut, Ribs and other goodies for your dining pleasure. Once again, the Tropics will provide music for dancing. All this for only $40 per head. Who else but SBYC holds the line against inflation?

This is one event where it is very helpful to sign up early as we have to buy the right amount of food and drinks to minimize the balance of the expenses that the Club picks up. That’s right; this is the one event that the Club subsidizes, although last year we almost broke even due to the large number of attendees offsetting the fixed costs.
