Greetings, EYC Members!

Brrr. It's cold outside, the club calendar is getting really HOT, with many great things as we move into the holiday season! Be sure to keep an eye on the online calendar and the mobile app, and sign up for EYC Text messages for the fun stuff. Protect yourself from FOMO, whatever floats your boat.

Thank You, EYC Members!

Thank you to all who attended the Annual Membership Meeting last Saturday, or provided a Proxy. Although we didn't make it all the way through the packet of Bylaws amendments, a great deal was accomplished in the limited time allowed. The Board has established a Policy Team to address and update the needed Policies in support of the recent Bylaws updates. Watch for more information as it develops.

Shop 'Til You Drop at the Holiday Market This Friday, November 18!

Sip peppermint swirl cocktails while you wander through our winter wonderland store fronts! Shop for holiday gifts from 18 local artists and vendors, including exclusive items from EYC Outfitters (Yacht Socks and more)! This event is open to members and their guests, so kickstart your holiday season with a visit to the EYC Holiday Market next Friday! Make a night of it: stay for the special holiday roast beef dinner, too.

DRESS Like it, Too!

Kick off the 40th anniversary celebrations of the EYC Lights Parade with a DJ dance night to take us back to the roots. Saturday, November 19, from 7 p.m. until ... in the bar. Yeah, you know you want to ... go ahead and DRESS like it's 1982, too! Mirrored disco ball and celebratory cake add to the fun.

2022 LP Posters, Cards

If you missed the fun last Friday when the 2022 Lights Parade Poster by local artist (and EYC Wait Lister) Kerry Ann Toole was unveiled, you don't have to miss your chance to collect the poster or some handsome holiday notecards bearing her beautiful design. Buy them through the office, or at the club the evenings of November 16, 19, and (if any are left), November 30.
