Dinghy Parade/Solstice Party
DINGHY PARADE/SOLSTICE PARTY
Thank you to all that participated in last nights Solstice Party!
Unfortunately, due to the nasty weather at 4pm, the parade didn’t happen . It did clear out by 5:30, but by then everyone had made their decision.
We had about 25 people at CYC for the party afterwards…great to meet new faces. Thank you to all that brought a potluck item to share and for everyone’s generosity that filled a large tub of food donations for the Ballard Food Bank!
