Social – June 2023

It is hard to believe that it is June already!

I hope you have enjoyed our events thus far.  You may have noticed that we are trying to include some vegetarian options in the mix.

Big thank you to David and Anne Marie Knapp for hosting Memorial Day.  The DJ has several people shaking their groove thing into the night.  The Orndorff’s hosted Father’s Day again and we enjoyed a Bloody Mary Bar along with some fabulous sides!  Tony Rice always does a great job on the grill!

The club will provide the main course and beverages for social events.  We ask that attendees bring a dish to share in true pitch-in fashion.

We are still looking for Host/Hostesses for Kid’s Day, Labor Day, and the Chili Cookoff.  Please reach out if you are interested in earning some work credits and helping with any of the social events.

You may find all social and private events on the ECSC calendar located on the website.  Below is a quick snapshot of the season’s events.  Those in bold font require RSVP and Pre-payment.  More details to come closer to the events.

  • Father’s Day – Sunday, June 18th – 11:00 am – Hosted by the Orndorff’s

Publicity – May 2023

Pictures If you have pictures from the club - social events, racing, out cruising - and you wouldn't mind sharing them with us we would love to be able to put them on the site and/or to include them in telltales articles.  You can send them to publicity [at] ecsail.org and if you would like credit to be given please let us know with the images how you would like them attributed. The next version of the website and struggles with the current version Work continues on the new version of our website.  We've been facing some issues with the publication of the newsletter and proper formatting of the newsletter particularly for archived editions of the telltales. While we hope to have the new version of the site ready soon the current version keeps absorbing time and taking away from the time available to develop the newest version of the site. We appreciate your patience as we work through the issues on the current site and continue to work on the new version of the site and ask that if you spot any issues at all with the website to please reach out to us at publicity [at] ecsail.org and let us know. Thanks! Michael Denney Phyllis Gillingham ECSC Publicity

Publicity March 2023

Hello everyone! My name is Michael Denney and I am the newly appointed Publicity Chairperson and Phyllis Gillingham is my assistant.  We are taking over from the now-Vice Commodore EJ Williams.  We are working on getting up-to-speed on the newsletter process and sorting out our workflows so that we can get you the club news on a regular and reliable basis.  In addition to the newsletter we are presently working on overhauling the club website [ ecsail.org ]. The website overhaul is expected to take somewhere around 6 to 12 months.  In the meantime we are also working to keep the current site updated and accurate.  The overhaul is more so that the board and club chairs can manage the website faster and easier with less confusion but will also result in an overall faster and more responsive website for all users. Our website houses a substantial amount of information about the club and has many moving pieces and parts.  If you do spot any issues with the website at all or have any problems please do not hesitate to reach out to us at publicity@ecsail.org.   We look forward to seeing you out on the water this year!

Social March 2023

Vickie Greenough

Although the weather is still a bit chilly, spring is in the air.  Jennifer and I have been planning our season of events and are getting ready to call on members to step up and assist with the programs we have planned.  Work credits are available for the hours put into volunteering.  These work credits convert to $$ off you next season membership.

 

The club will provide the main course and beverages for social events.  We ask that attendees bring a dish to share in true pitch-in fashion. 

 

We have already had several requests to reserve the upper shelter.  When planning an event at the club, please take into consideration that we are on a septic tank and have limited parking.  Having guests carpool is ideal.  We do require a $250 deposit that is refundable or applied to assessed damages.  Please submit your requests to the Commodore for approval.
