[Rhodes22-list] Yacht Club

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hmmm....the Swan Creek Sailing Association is only $30/year but if you want 
to race it's another $25. We pay a per person fee for most of the dinners 
and activities so I guess it all evens out. The fee does buy some of the 
beer. Doesn't matter 'cause it's usually Bud Light. Other than that it's a 
nice group.
