Cinco De Mayo Membership Party             

     Bright sunny skies, good food, great friends & new acquaintances - that's what is was all about at the annual Cinco De Mayo Membership Party  held by the Waterford Yacht Club Saturday, May 3rd.      Vice Commodore Jeanette Bliss greeted the record number of attendees with a big smile and information about the social, fundraising, cruising and educational opportunities the Club offers to all members.  The Ships Store was on hand proudly offering logo merchandise from t-shirts, customized polo's, hand painted wine glasses, koozies, ball caps and more; a popular place to shop with Diane & Al.
      The beautiful weather helped set the stage for a fun evening, enjoyed by almost 60 members and 30 guests. Everyone arrived in a festive mood ready to party, enjoy a cold drink and share an evening with both old and new friends.  "WYC's Margarita Man" showed up in his tux (Robert Donley style!) to serve delicious San Lorenzo margarita's! There were even a few batches of Pirates Punch floating among the crowd!  
     With a sunny backdrop of shimmering water, sailboat masts and power yachts, the Pavilion was festively decorated with sombreros, chili pepper lights, brightly colored table decorations and our mascot, Saltee who made an appearance in his new sombrero!  Everyone enjoyed a delicious buffet of Mexican food, catered by Necho & Hector from San Lorenzo's Mexican restaurant.  Delicious Tres Leches cake (a surprise specially made by Hector's wife) was a deliciously huge hit with everyone who cared to indulge!  
      More than once you could hear remarks of "Does this club always have this much fun when they get together"  to which we always reply, "You bet we do"!!
      Hosted by the WYC Board and our very energetic Social Director, Era Lee Caldwell, the evening was deemed a huge success by all who attended and those who will soon be joining the WYC!! Thanks Era Lee for all your planning and hard work!
