Our annual spring clean-up is tomorrow, Saturday, 4/5/2025! We begin at 8 am. After being cooped up indoors with all the rain, it's time to get outside, enjoy the fresh air and do good for our club, for our beautiful Lake and Hamilton Creek Marina. We are so lucky to have these amazing resources. Let's give back by pitching in! There is plenty for everyone to do, so bring your energy and join us.
