First I would like to thank all of our members for their willingness to give some time during the Arts and Crafts fair. 

Set up went smoothly and break down was completed in record time. We could not do this event without your support. Special note of thanks to Isabel Maziarz for the Friday evening refreshments, Linda Murphy for the publicity, Russ Jackson and Bill Messmer for overseeing the set up and breakdown and Toni and Fred Helming for their "behind the scenes" help in keeping up with the clutter.  

As we enter the last weeks of the regular season we still have a couple of events of note. Tonight there will be the second Ice Cream Social at 7 p.m. Bring your bug repellent and join with other families to a "make your own sundae" experience. On Saturday we have a new theme evening called the chowder and beer tasting gathering. The chowder will be homemade and is sure to be delicious.

Southport Yacht Club hosts the Opti regatta this week and the club will be filled with visiting sailors. Results will be announced in next week's column.
