    Fall is almost here, and summer’s end is closing in on us fast!  The time to get projects done at the club for this year is winding down, but we still have projects on SignUpGenius™ that can be done before the end of the year. There is the installation of the two parking posts by the Race Shed that still needs to be done, installation of rope along the parking posts, and several other projects. These can be found on SignUpGenius™ at the following link:
    The Grounds Committee is continuing to work on their list of projects this month, including having ceiling fans installed at the shelters to cool things off.  They will also be installing new LED lights in the boat parking area next to the playground to complete our LED light upgrade.  IPL has had their contractors putting a new main electric feed into the club to fix the issues we have had with losing power this summer.  Please be careful around the areas IPL has excavated. 
    Have a wonderful and restful Labor Day weekend, and I hope to see you all at the Governor’s Cup/Lobster Fest events!  Thanks to all of our club volunteers for all their kind assistance with recent events and work around the club.  We appreciate all you do to keep ECSC a wonderful place to be!

    With August gone and September here, sailing season is coming to an end so make sure to get out on your boat and enjoy some of the best days of the season while you can. If you are still looking for  work credits, now is the time to get them. We still have several jobs that need to be done. One in particular that I would like to see done before the end the season is  water sealing the dock that was replaced last year. Everything that is needed to get this job done is already at the club.  All that is needed is you and a willingness to work and earn work credits.  Winter storage is coming upon us quick. Please remember there is no trailer parking or boat storage in the car corral or on the beach until after the Hornback Regatta and Chili-cookoff. That means no earlier than  3 o’clock on Sunday, October 14. If you feel the need to get your trailer out of storage early please park in the boat parking lots.

    A big welcome to Peggy Shortridge of Indianapolis.   Peggy is family to members, Ki and Erin Hickok and will be a Lake Associate Member as she has a home on Eagle Creek.  We will look forward to seeing Peggy at our social functions.
    Be sure to attend the Labor Day Cook Out at 3:30 on Monday September 3.  Bring your favorite covered dish.  Also put the Lobster Fest on your calendar for Saturday evening, September 15.  You must make a reservation for this and pay ahead as our famous lobsters are flown in from Maine for that occasion so we need a good count.  Steaks also available on request.
