Come down to the club and have an adult or other beverage with fellow club members and guests any day of the week. Check the schedule for special events. Every member has a key.

Most Wednesday and Friday Nights one or more volunteer members will prepare dinner for the first 20-30 people to sign up. Cost is usually $10 or so. Details are posted in front of the club. Come, eat, drink, and be merry!

Throughout the year there will be additional special events as scheduled. The flagship event is the Commodore's Ball held each November, but roughly once a month there will be another special event, often a fundraiser for a local charity. Come join the fun!
