It's been a busy month. Hats off to Mia for pulling it off. Our crab feed was a great success. Thank you Rosie, Mia and everyone else involved. This month we purchased a new computer and we are presently in the process of loading all software and records. This should make keeping track of things much easier.
|
Thanks to the Auxiliary we have new wine glasses. Thank you Dan for ordering the wine glasses at cost and to Sheryl for the artwork. Beer glasses have been ordered. We will sell both of these in the Ships Store.
|
ALL HANDS ON DECK! The building renovations are starting now. Please call Jerry to schedule volunteer work. After all, it's your club, let's fix it up!

|
Get your green on everybody! The St. Patrick's Day party will be on Saturday, March 18th with Irish dancers, a live band and plenty of goodies.

“The SRYC Auxiliary starts 2023 with GREAT enthusiasm!!”
|
The SRYC Auxiliary started 2023 with the first meeting of the year on January 13, the 2nd Friday of the month. Attendance was good considering it was right after the holidays and it was really COLD that evening.
|
We shared our holiday adventures, talked about any future personal plans we might have, and especially discussed any auxiliary-sponsored special events for the benefit of the SRYC . . . fundraisers, dinners, and holiday get togethers including but not limited to cook your own steak nights, potlucks, theme parties, and cruise-in events.
|
We always like new ideas and suggestions. Think about attending a meeting or two, and maybe even joining the Auxiliary. There’s still room!!!!
|
Meetings will always begin at 1800 hours (6 PM) on the 2nd Friday of every month. Come on down and join the fun . . . put your two cents in with ideas for future parties, dinners, and other activities . . . let’s get involved!!!!
|
|
|
|
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 and are payable to SRYCA. Just place your application and dues in the office mail slot.

ERNIE'S IDIOMS
|
“Turn a blind eye”
|
|
|
Origin: While many proposed origins of this phrase are disputed, it is commonly accepted that turning a blind eye comes from a comment made by British Admiral Horatio Nelson. In 1801 he led the attack alongside Admiral Sir Hyde Parker in the Battle of Copenhagen. Nelson was blind in one eye. Parker communicated to Nelson at one point, via flags, that he needed to retreat and disengage. Nelson, however, was convinced that he could prevail if they pushed onward. Nelson then, holding the telescope to his blind eye, pretended not to see the signal—making a sly comment to a fellow officer about reserving the right to use his blind eye every now and again.
