Chili Wings Fun Sunday's Big Game
Posted: 01/30/2012
Please bring your best chili or wings and join us at the Club this Sunday February 5th, 5:00PM for our BIG GAME EVENT. A tradition now, we love our chili and wings cookoff.
Important details to those bringing food:
-
Please remember to bring your own servers, condiments, and packaging to bring home your bowls and crockpots, as this is a "do-it-ourselves", event. Also generous portions, please. --hmmm, this never seems to be a problem, but we want to ensure everyone attending gets to enjoy your dish.
-
Please write the name of your dish on an index card, before you arrive, to faciliate our setup. And you want to make it easy for people to vote for your dish!
Last year, we had such wonderful food-- how can we top ourselves?
For those not bringng food, and we WELCOME you ALL, please understand there is a fee of $15.00 per person.
We sent this invitation via Evite. If you can can respond there, with what you are bringing, it really helps the Entertatinment Committee with our own setup for you, and with all the supplies we are providing for the event. Otherwise you can reply to Club at 732.291.1118.
Your Entertainment Committee

Winter Gala A Great Success
Posted: 01/29/2012
Saturday night the AHYC Race Committee hosted the 2012 AHYC Awards Dinner and Winter Gala. Record numbers of boat captains, crews, club members and friends gathered at the Oyster Point Hotel in Red Bank for an elegant evening of tasty dining, great company, dancing and to acknowledge the accomplishments of those who excelled during AHYC 2011 racing season.
A slide show featuring the club events of 2011 was presented during cocktail hour. Photographs contributed by many talented club members documented Racing, Cruising, Change of Watch, Blessing of the Fleet, AHSEP, Trim a tree and New Years Eve.
Once again my old High School friend Bob Gizzi entertained us during the cocktail hour with his mastery of the piano. The entire group of 4 musicians and vocalist played through dinner then rocked the place for dancing until midnight.
Many thanks for the generous gift of $500 to AHYC and a donation of $500 to Special Olympics to offset the cost of fuel for the chase boats that volunteer on Tuesday nights. Race Committee Chair, John Pearson presented the club with two literally and figuratively very large checks. On behalf of the Race Committee, John expressed their thanks to the Board for the purchase of the Committee Boat, Karen T. John shared with us that the new race committee boat was a primary factor for increased racing participation and renewed the clubs enthusiasm.
Serving on the Race Committee boat has become a popular social event as well as a club service. We are grateful to everyone who blew horns, gave instructions on the radio, made the appropriate flag signals, and recorded the results.
The slide presentation is available to anyone that would like a copy. The best way to get a copy is to contact me and make arrangements to bring a thumb drive at least 4GB in capacity.
It’s not even February and this clubs social calendar is full of interesting and fun events.
Be sure to join in, and get involved.
