What a great day at the 49's football game on November 19th. Paul, Dan, J.E.B. and I got an early start to get a perfect spot for our tailgate party. Great yacht club members make great friends to hang out with, even when away from the club. And the Niners won!

|
Our annual Auxiliary Christmas Party and Gift Exchange Party is Friday, December 8th, What a GREAT WAY to end the year !!!
|
|
Our annual SRYCA Officer/Member Installation Luncheon on October 14th was a great success. Held again at the Piccola Trattoria Restaurant in Tiburon/Strawberry shopping mall, good attendance, great food, and good weather made it a must attend. Our 2023 Board was reinstalled to carry on into 2024. A variety of events are already in the works for next year.
|
|
|
|
|
The Auxiliary is open to all members and their significant others. Traditionally the Auxiliary leans towards family related activities. We organize Christmas parties, theme dinners i.e. Italian nights, Cook Your Own Steak nights, Karaoke evenings and many other fun-filled events. The goal is always to provide enjoyment and opportunities for fund raising.
|
|
Dues are only $20/year payable to SRYCA.
|
|
Just place your application and dues in the office mail slot.

BUILDING REPORT
I would like to commend all members who showed up for the work party on 11/18/23 at the yacht club. It was a windy, rainy, wet day to work, but all hung in there to get the job done. Thank you all for your help!
