That's Entertainment
By Ed Fischer

Well, summer is in full swing and Corinthian members seem to be enjoying it. This was evidenced by the more than 200 members and friends who attended the 4th of July celebration at the Club. The attendees were treated to great weather to view the fireworks as far away as Pac Bell Park and even a bit from Sausalito. The main event came from the San Francisco waterfront and without the fog it made for a great show. All in all, it was another great day in paradise. As always your Entertainment Committee puts the parties together, but a special thanks goes to Sandra Solomon, for rescuing the flowers and creating the “Firecracker Bouquets”.

Speaking of another great day in paradise, on July 15th the member’s deck of the Corinthian experienced a “bit of the beach”. It was transformed into a Caribbean Island, complete with sun, sand, and a guitar player, accompanied by the Cor(al)inthian Reef Singers... okay, it was Sally, Mike, Marcia, & myself, strumming tunes of Jimmy Buffet.

The deck was decorated with palm trees, colorful umbrellas, pool toys and pineapples. Prior to this party a new member’s party was held and they were given a taste of the Corinthian spirit. Thanks to Nancy Giachino, Esther Lerner-Carrico and Sophie Johnson for their efforts in bringing the beach to the Club.

Clam Bake
August 5

Hope everyone has made reservations for this feast organized by Bev Dunn, as it is always a sold out event. The menu features lobster, but only if you order it in advance. Your cooks will be your fellow members. If there is only one event you can attend this summers – make it this one. A great time will be had. More info

Commodore's Picnic
September 4

Although most of the country marks the end of the warm season on Labor Day, the Bay Area heads into one of the best seasons of the year. You can actually go sailing without a reef in the main and foul weather gear. Start this great season out by attending the Commodore’s Picnic at the Club. There will be a senior and junior rowing contest, as well as JUNK PLUS BINGO (don’t ask – you’ll find out if you pay the buck for four cards). This year children under five will have their own fishing derby. Look for the flyer!

Commodore's Ball
September 23

The theme for this year’s Commodores’ Ball is “The Corinthian Yacht Club – Through the Ages”. Be bold and come dressed in the finest attire of your favorite period of the rich and colorful history of our Club. Not so bold, black tie or Club blazer. Mark the date and watch for the flyer in the September billing.
