Another successful Arts and Crafts show is behind us and I send many thanks for all of the vendors willing to exhibit and the members who were willing to give of their time to make the show run smoothly. Also thanks to Isabel and Joe Maziarz for the opening refreshments. and Linda Murphy for publicity. Special thanks to William Jacobs and the Junior Yacht club for their help with the set up on Friday. The breakdown crew was great and we returned the club to its proper condition in record time.

The sailing program comes to an end tomorrow night at the Junior Banquet. Our sailors have spent the summer honing their sailing skills, perfecting their racing in the age appropriate boats. We have had over 900 young sailors who have participated in the program from one to eight weeks.

Saturday evening at 6:oo there will be a repeat of the popular "Chowder Cookoff" So get our your family favorite chowder recipe or a recipe that intrigues you and bring it along. Different beers will be available for tasting.
