July 9 Shandygaff: A "Beautiful Picnic"
Join your fellow members for a midsummer night's dream: desserts from Sofra and Yafa bakeries! Chosen and provided by dessert captain Kate Andres, these savory treats will enliven the palate and the conversation. The names are apt, btw: Yafa means "beautiful" and Sofra "a picnic"! See you for some sweet dreams!
Bring a dish for 8 people, place it on the Common Table.
5:30 pm: Bar opens with beer, wine, waters 
6:00 pm: Self-serve at the Common Table
7:00 pm: Dessert goes out

Volunteers needed at 5:00 pm: To set up tables and chairs and at the end of the evening to put away the equipment and clean up the kitchen. Contact Cynthia Ingols (cynthiaaingols@gmail.com) and Beth Avery (bethaavery@yahoo.com) to volunteer to help.

Coach's Report Juniors
Juniors Leave Signature at Independence Day Regatta
