Tom Thanasiu will be hosting a fundraiser dinner before the General Meeting on Tuesday, May 13th.  It will consist of country ribs, potato, and corn, with a suggested donation of $10.  This is in support of his I-LYA class of this year. 

The food will be ready before 530pm.

Since Mother Nature has not been cooperative with weather this Spring, we'll need additional time to get our docks ready for the 2025 sailing season.

Please note the date change for our Annual Dock Opening Party.  We will be celebrating the opening of our docks on Saturday, May 3.

Dock blessing and champagne toast will be followed by a steak dinner $15 or a chicken dinner $13....then of course music and fellowship.

Appetizers and desserts are appreciated. Help prepping the food, serving and kitchen cleanup is needed.  Let Lynne know if you are available to help.

Sadly, the First Aid Seminar scheduled for this Sunday, April 27th is cancelled.  Hopefully we can reschedule at some point in the future.

The Jolly Roger Sailing Club invites you to a first aid seminar, "On-The-Water First Aid: What To Do and What Not To Do"

The instructors, Kellen West and Jasmine Tropf, are professionals with many years of experience in first aid trauma intervention and emergency medical treatment. Kellen and Jasmine have conducted numerous seminars and workshop over their many years of professional practice and they are well known and respected in the sailing and boating communities.

Jasmine and Kellen will present on a variety of medical emergencies: bleeding, fractures, burns, hypothermia, heat related conditions, shock, cardiac event and contacting first responders to report medical emergencies. They will likely cover other topics as well. Participants will work in small groups and have opportunities to practice intervention skills.

Fee: $20 per single, $30 per couple (fee to include morning refreshments and lunch)

This is an RSVP event and limited to sixty (60) attendees.
