Second Trustee Bob Pritchard invites all members to come out to the club for the first ever Potluck Breakfast and Solar Eclipse Vewing Raft-up on Monday, August 21. If you don't already have plans (or don't want to brave the apoco-ecliptic traffic), please join your fellow members at 8:00 am with a breakfast dish to share. Boats will leave the dock a little before 9:00 am for a raft-up offshore. Remember to bring your eclipse glasses!

Jason Vasquez, EYC member and member of Eugene-Springfield Fire & Rescue, invites you to a demonstration of EYC's upgraded fire hose system. Meet near the big hoist for a chance for hands-on practice. Trailer owners are especially encouraged to attend.

The August Ship Shape Committee invites you to come to this month's baseball-themed potluck wearing your favorite baseball hat. They will provide the hot dogs and ice cream floats, all you need to do is bring a side dish or other game grub, some condiments, and your drinks. Your tableware is also always welcome!

EYC is still collecting canned food donations for Food for Lane County. This is an opportunity for you to share with those in our community who are less fortunate. Bringing a can of food or other non-perishable item will help families struggling to make ends meet. Food for Lane County is an organization that makes a difference—let's be a part of that good work!

The General Meeting will follow at 7:30 pm.

EYC will once again open its doors and offer a community-wide Family Sail Day to benefit the Relief Nursery in Eugene on Sunday, September 3 from 2:00 - 6:00 pm.

Visiting families can get rides on sailboats, try out paddle boards, play games on the lawns, view a wooden boat display, and enjoy burgers and hot dogs from the grill. All while listening to various local teen music performers. There will also be an optional evening champagne cruise.

All proceeds will go to the Eugene Relief Nursery to support their goal of stopping the cycle of child abuse and neglect by strengthening families and keeping children safe.

The Board of Trustees meet each month to gather information, discuss issues, and make plans. Members are welcome to attend.
