OTYC NEWS
News from the Commodore, Tish Renz
The Fourth of July picnic was a hit and well attended eventhough the winds were pretty strong and the electricity wasn't on in the beginning. Most available seating was taken which was great. Many thanks to the McKenzie and Ray clan for organizing it. Linda had great table decorations that were decorating the main table in the yacht club due to the wind, at least the wind helped us keep cool.

Stuart Williams and Jane Saxton welcomed the ladies into their cottage the morning of July 7th for a lively meeting. Many thanks to the them for their hospitality. I truly appreciate everyone coming and all the ideas exchanged. I was glad to see a few new faces join us. There was a full potluck on July 7th with bingo following. Everyone was having so much fun seeing each other, I am not sure anyone really cared if they ate since it took awhile to get people seated. What a great way to jump into the season.
