End-of-Season Party, Awards, Potluck, Swimming

Good morning everyone,

Thank you for an awesome season of sailing! 

We are excited to see you all at the end-of-season party tomorrow, Thursday, May 28th from 4-7pm at the Andress' families house. Their address is 2786 Northshore Rd. This is the same location as last spring. Please carpool- parking is limited! 

For those that haven't been there before, it is an awesome spot on the shore of Lake Whatcom with swimming and possibly even some sailing if the weather allows. Please bring a swimsuit or PFD if you plan to swim or sail. 

This will be a potluck so please bring something to share. RSVP by signing up your name, a dish to share, or any allergies etc. on this spreadsheet: 

Captains and coaches will be giving out end-of-the-year awards at the party. If anyone cannot make it, please let us know. 

Thanks again for a great season and we look forward to seeing you all there!

Best,
Anna and Cooper
