Now that the tickets are gone, we can turn our attention to donations. They are coming in slowly, so if you committed to giving something, but haven t brought it to the Club yet, please do so ASAP. All donations are due by Sunday, November 4. Keep in mind that the success of this event is based solely on the generosity of all LCYC members. Someone will be at the Club every Sunday to accept your donations. If you can t make it on a Sunday, leave your donation on the counter in the galley clearly marked that it is for the Auction. Include your name and the value of the donation. We thank you, in advance, for your support! We are looking for a few good men to help serve lunch to the women, help with side boards and help sell pudding and/or Jell-lo shots during the Event, and of course with clean up, too. If you can help, be at the Club by 12:30p on November 10 and park in the lot behind the Clubhouse. The theme is American Pride, so wear your Regatta shirt or something red, white and blue. We are also looking for someone to organize a work party in the morning of November 10 th to use blowers to clear away all of the leaves that accumulate around the pool, fire pit area. In other words, we need volunteers to help make LCYC look beautiful for our guests.
