The October social will be at M&M’s. The date for this exceptional social is Saturday, 15 October, at 1530 (3:30 pm). The new owner of M&Ms, Dave, is going to put out quite a spread. We will be treated to baby back ribs, bacon wrapped shrimp, poppers and a vegi plate. All this with beer and wine.
Dave has been in the process of enclosing the deck section where we have had our social in past years and will have the new addition finished in early October. He is looking forward to hosting the NSA social and will be on hand to meet those of us who have not met him.

How it works:
email me (jbeacham@nc.rr.com) your name, boat name, make and length (we need all

directions to switch to a working channel. There we will announce the starting

presented by the Commodore at his sole discretion. No protests are allowed.
I truly hope you will join me and the other officers of this year’s Neuse Sailing Association in celebrating the year at the 32nd Annual Commodore’s Ball. We will have it on Saturday, 19 November, at the Minnesott Country Club. The meal will start at 1900 (7:00 PM) and there will be a cash bar for beer and wine. After dinner and the awards presentation, we will present the officers for next year’s bridge. Then we will clear away some of the tables and dance the night away to The Fabulous Shades. You have heard them in Oriental playing for the Oriental Cup and other events and now we have them for the Commodore’s Ball.
Tickets to the Commodore’s Ball are $40 per couple. Please make your
reservations by 11 November, so we
can get the right number for the caterer. Your check will be your
reservation. Make your checks out to the NSA and send them to my home address at
219 Lochside Drive, Cary,
Remember, we must have your check for this event no later than Friday, 11 November.
I hope to see you there celebrating another wonderful year with the Neuse Sailing Association, and welcoming the incoming Officers.
The second annual NSA Captain’s Choice Golf Tournament is scheduled for Saturday, 19 November starting at 1100 at the Minnesott Golf and Country Club. The four man teams will go off with each team captain making the decision which shot will be used to complete the hole. The NSA squad will be making the rounds in a golf cart with refreshments. Anyone taking this tournament seriously will be assessed a 10 stroke fine. Awards will be presented at the Commodore’s Ball later that night and you must be present to get your prize.
If you are interested in playing,

handicaps.
