Cubano Night...Parade of Lights....Mark Mulligan....JULY IS COMING!!! (Posted: 2013-06-13)
July is going to be buzzing with activity at CLSC and I want you all to mark
your calendars now so you don't miss out!!
Coming back on for an encore....Cubano Night, Part 2 on Thursday, July 4th at
the Carter Lake Sailing Club House. Carrie Pfister and Russ Leftwich will once
again be bringing the flair and tastes of Havana to Carter Lake Sail Club for an
evening of food and music before the Boat Parade of Lights begins at dusk.
More details will follow soon, but you can expect a menu that includes mixed
rice and beans, a fresh chimichurri sauce, along with that infamous Cuban
coffee and some great music. Attire for the evening is khaki, white and/or
Caribbean clothing. Hats are always welcome (there is a great selection at
Target)!
Please plan on bringing your own meat to grill (fish, chicken and beef work especially well with our chimichurri sauce as a topper)
THEN...Plan on putting some fun lights on your boat to cruise around the lake
after the sun sets for the Carter Lake Annual Parade of Lights. This starts at
dusk. This event is for the Marina and the Sail Club, and is a good time to be
had by all.
THEN...If you can stand for more fun! Lets talk Mark Mulligan! He will be
appearing on July 5th at 6pm at the CLSC Clubhouse. I hear this is an amazing
concert that you will not want to miss! Tickets are $15...Contact Todd Rogers.
Not to be forgotten...July will also included two other potlucks that are
planned and being hosted by Dawn and Kim Robinson on July 20th and Don Hicks on
July 27th. More details will come out about the themes as time get closer!!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS so you can be part of all the fun activites we have planned
this year!
Let me know if you have any questions...and I hope to see you there!

Carrie Pfister will be hosting a Ladies Lunch at the Lake at the CLSC Clubhouse for club members. Ladies, please feel to join her for lunch at noon on Thursday, June 20th. We will have lunch and talk sailing. Problems "seeing the wind"? Can't tell when a good time to tack is? Does docking scare the heck out of you? We can talk about anything you like.
If you like, we can go out for a sail after lunch--on your boat or someone else's. It's really about just hanging out and learning in a calm, fun environment.
Please e-mail Carrie at Sailing841@aol.com if you would like to attend or are able to take a few ladies out for a sail. While RSVP's are not required, we would like to get an initial feel of how many boats we may need. We are hoping to host another lunch on July 1 or 2nd and will follow up on that date.
Bring your own lunch and beverages, as well as personal items to go out for a sail and we'll see you for lunch!
