Kibitzing Continues at Sherwood Island Tomorrow Morning
As Y’s Men, we all believe in the proper and renewable use of our natural resources. In Westport that means the beach. So while we picnic on Tuesday at Compo, every Thursday at 9:00 am we gather at the Pavilion at Sherwood Island State Park.
Except for the cardboard boxes for the coffee and the great views, it’s just like the winter venue at the Saugatuck Congregational Church. Same fine fellowship and donuts and bagels.
A Connecticut license plate on your car gets you in for free. Be sure to stop just beyond the young lady in the toll booth so she can see it
Come on down to chat with your fellow Y’s Men. Friends, family and guests are welcome. At 10:00 am there is an organized walk around the park.
