Stop by Friday night and get your first glimpse of the new clubhouse. FBYC plans to have a casual get-together and encourages everyone to bring an appetizer to share and your choice of beverage. FBYC will provide soft drinks and ice to get things started. By having these impromptu evenings, FBYC hopes to inspire more camaraderie between members and possibly start a weekly Friday evening event!
Celebrate the Commissioning of the New FBYC Main Clubhouse - Saturday, April 13
Saturday Afternoon: Members and Guests are invited to gather for an assembly in the afternoon. Everyone is encouraged to dress up for these events, men wearing blazers and neckties and women wearing casual cocktail dresses. We will begin the events with the Annual Spring Celebration of The Blessing of the Fleet. Following the Blessing, FBYC will host a Commissioning Ceremony for the New Clubhouse with music, a ribbon cutting, unveilings, speakers and a dedication of the new building.
Saturday Evening: After the ceremony, there will be refreshments in the lounge. We are honored to have Chef Alain Vincey prepare an elegant meal for us. This will be a seated dinner on the screen porch and in adjoining tents. There will be music and dancing in the main room after dinner. RSVP's will be required for the dinner as seating is limited. Members will receive invitations in the mail. Please fill out the reply cards, attach checks and mail back before the deadline to get your seat.
