Please note the date for the Pig Roast on the card you received with your membership stickers was a misprint.  The event will actually be hosted on the FOURTH OF JULY.

The 50^th Anniversary Committee is working diligently on planning a week packed full of activities to engage the whole family. Things are coming together quite nicely.  I am sure a good time will be had by all!

The holidays are quickly approaching and the ECSC elves are working diligently on building a fun filled 2019 social/sailing season.  As some of you may know, 2019 is the 50^th anniversary of ECSC.  You can anticipate a grand Golden Celebration!  Date and times are still in the planning stage, but rest assured, it will be a fantastic time with fun filled activities for ALL!

In efforts to increase volunteerism and attendance, there have been a couple changes from the normal schedule.  A decision has been made to host the Memorial Day and Labor Day events on Saturday as opposed to Monday.  These two events will begin at 5:30 pm and will include a DJ.  What better way to kick off these two special weekends!  Dates for the Chili Cookoff, Lobster Fest and the Beach Party/50^th Celebration are still being determined.  Rest assure you will have a full calendar available to you after the first of the year……our elves are very busy planning!!

Sadly, the season is coming to a close.  The Hornback Chili Cookoff was a great success under Jennifer Curtis and crew’s leadership!  I hear it was difficult to determine the winner as all the entries were scrumptious!  Our Final Bash will be held on November 3^rd, at Rick’s Boatyard.  By now you should have RSVP’d to Nick Mates who is heading the planning committee for our last shindig of the season!

We are already planning out next season’s schedule as we will be celebrating the Sail Club’s 50^th Anniversary!  Be on the lookout for the schedule with your annual registration packet!  In our efforts to increase social event participation and volunteerism, we will be making some changes to the dates and times of events.  As always, if you have any questions and/or suggestions, please do not hesitate to email social@ecsail.org.

A big THANK YOU to all who made 2018 a big success!

This season has sailed by!  Our Lobsterfest and Governor’s cup combo was well attended and we WOWed our out of town guests!  Outside of a few check-in glitches, the event was a great success.  John George and I can’t thank the crew who helped pull it off enough.  There are too many to list!

Happy Sailing!

It is hard to believe sailing season is half over!  In order to maximize our available volunteers, we have decided to make some last minute adjustments to the calendar.

A big thank you to Steve and Sarah McQueen for hosting and Mike and Katie Smith for helping with our 4th of July event.  We had rave reviews on our new Pig vendor!  We look forward to using him again in the future!

The LOBSTER FEST has been changed from August 18th to September 15th to coincide with the Governor’s Cup.  The Race Committee and Social will work hand in hand to assure a smooth and fun event!  The Lobster Fest committee will be meeting soon to finalize details so be on the lookout for further information and RSVP instructions.

Kenny Chapman has stepped up to host Labor Day event on September 3rd at 3:30pm.  We are looking for NEWer MEMBERS to support this effort!  Our goal is to introduce our newer members to event implementation.  It is easier than one may expect!

Hosting an event can earn you a $150 credit for next year’s membership dues!  You can earn $10 an hour for recorded volunteer hours, with a maximum of $150 per season!

Please contact Vickie Greenough 317-eight four seven-7400 to volunteer for our upcoming events!
