Monthly Dinners
Third Tuesday of Every Month (except Dec. and Feb.) 6:00-8:30 PM
These dinner meetings are signature events at SYC. They are entirely planned, hosted, served, and often prepared by our member volunteers. A Host Team organizes the meal and enlists a volunteer “kitchen crew” to help. The SYC store is “open” at several dinners for buying SYC apparel and gifts. A raffle tops off each evening. Contact the Monthly Dinner Committee Chairperson to volunteer to host or crew!
Happy Hours
Friday Evenings 6:00 til ? (As often as we have volunteer hosts)
These informal get-togethers are a great way to get to know your fellow SYC members. Depending on weather, Happy Hours are held either in the Barnacle (our Club Pub) or outside on the deck or dock). Come as you are with a snack to share and BYOB. Hosting one is easy – call the Happy Hour Committee Chairperson to volunteer!
Burn Your Socks Party
March
The unofficial start of boating season, this party celebrates the vernal equinox and coming of Spring. Party-goers bring old socks to burn in the bonfire announcing that the time has come for boat shoes and flip-flops. Barbecue fare and s’mores cap off this family friendly evening event. Contact the Burn Your Socks Party Chairperson to help out!
Flag Raising
May
This is the official “opening” of SYC’s boating season. Hosted by the past Commodore, the Sunday morning event features brunch, raising all the officer flags on SYC’s flagpole (Commodore, Vice-Commodore, Rear Commodore, Secretary and Treasurer), a blessing of the fleet, laying of the remembrance wreath for SYC members who passed on during the previous year and a musical performance. Contact the Past Commodore to help out!
Summer Party
August
This is a themed, mid-summer’s eve party held at the height of the boating season. It features an extravagant Happy Hour with appetizers brought by the guests, a great meal, drinks and musical entertainment! Contact the Summer Party Committee Chairperson to help out!
Oyster Roast
October
SYC members and guests look forward to this seafood extravaganza all year. Steamed shrimp and oysters, clam chowder served out at our tiki hut just whet appetites for more. If that isn’t enough, a full meal is also served for this family-friendly event. Wear a jacket or sweatshirt as Fall evenings are crisp. Contact the Oyster Roast Committee Chairperson to help out!
Christmas Party
December
Our last party of the year and a great time to get in the Christmas Spirit. This event may range from “party casual” with skit and entertainment by club members to a themed party which is over the top with a catered meal and music for dancing the night away–either way it’s a seasonal event to spend with someone special. Contact the Christmas Party Committee Chairperson to help out!
