Where's the Burgee? - Encinal Yacht Club

8 NOVEMBER 2012
FROM THE
HOUSE DIRECTOR...
Anita Mahoney
The year is winding down but the holidays are winding up.
SOUNDINGS
The Commodore’s Ball was a gala event. The evening began with live music in the lounge
along with passed appetizers and continued to a wonderful full course dinner prepared by
our Chef Manny and served by our staff that did an outstanding job. This was followed
with dancing to a five piece band. A lot of time and effort was put in by both Victor and
Deborah Early to make it a very special evening. I know all those that attended could feel
a very genuine touch that they brought. Many walked away with more knowledge about
Encinal Yacht Club and its beginnings and history. I believe we all learned a great deal
about our club and how special it is. I hope that the traditions can continue for many
years ahead.
There has been a lot going on around the house. Thanks to Dan Hayes and his crew of
volunteers who have been busy painting, installing and repairing. The projects never
stop. Please tell Dan thank you when you see him for all his work. The club has never
looked so good.
I especially want to thank all of our staff for the great job they are doing in helping making
our events a success. I could not do it without them.
We still have a few more events before the year is up. Change of Watch, November 10 th,
Cruising Awards Dinner, November 30 th, Holiday Wine Tasting, December 6 th, Lighted
Boat Parade, December 1 st, Children’s Christmas Party December 9 th and New
Years Eve, December 31 st.
Our Monday Night Football is getting closer to purchasing and installing the new big
screen TV in the lounge. All the funds are being raised by donations from our members.
I know many of you are looking forward to this.
