Hi everyone, just wanted to give you updates about this coming weekend. We have a fun weekend planned and I hope that many of you will be able to join us this Saturday, July 11th for a full day of activities. Starting out with Race-In -The-Bay for Stein Hospice, the Skippers meeting is going to be held at 10:00 AM at the HBYC Club House (note, this is a different time than what it says on the calendar on our website). We ask that only the Skippers attend so that social distancing can be maintained. The Race itself will start around 12 Noon. All details about the race can be directed to Larry Hurst, Race Committee Chairman at (614)395-8035, at lhurst@columbus.rr.com, or see him in person at Dock C-101 Sandusky Harbor Marina. After the race, there will be a General Membership Meeting at the clubhouse starting at 4 pm. This meeting will be held both in person and virtually via Zoom to make sure we can accommodate as many as possible in the safest way possible.

A separate email will be sent with the Zoom meeting link.

After the meeting from 4-5 pm, we will plan on breaking for dinner on your own and then reconvene at 7 pm for the start of Game Night. We will be gathering outside to have some fun doing Bocce Ball, Cornhole (beanbag toss) or other outdoor games. Please feel free to bring a game with you if you have any that you would like to share. At 8 pm, we will be having a 50/50 raffle. Please see any trustee, Bridge Officer or Committee officer to purchase tickets. The proceeds will be going to Stein Hospice. The tickets are $1.00 a piece, 6 for $5.00, 13 tickets for $10 (or 26 for $20.00 !). Please purchase tickets and let's raise some money for a good cause.

Due to the fact that we were unable to do our usual social event with food and entertainment, we appropriated those funds for a direct donation to Stein Hospice. We will holding the raffle virtually via the same Zoom link noted above. If you want to purchase tickets and are not going to be in attendance, we can arrange a virtual payment scenario. Let me know if you want to do this, and hopefully, I can figure out an acceptable way to do this given our need for such technology in the age of COVID-19. I hope all of you are well and enjoying your summer. If you have any concerns or questions, feel free to reach out to me at this email address.

Until then, my best, Janell Lundgren, Rear Commodore
