Floats-In Will Commence Saturday Morning
Update: We are closely monitoring the weather, Floats-in is still a GO; if that should change an update will be sent out Saturday morning alerting everyone.
It’s time to transition to the 2022 season and that means the All-Hands Floats-In event! Saturday April 2nd is Floats In, starting at 8 am. All able members are to join in and lend a hand; in addition to the floats work there are many tasks to be tackled around the house and yard so everyone present will be able to contribute. This is a great team building event that brings the whole club together!
