WOW!

More than 185 members and guests celebrated all that FBYC is at our season's-end Commadore's Ball last Saturday night. Our annual meeting highlighted the strong financial position we've maintained and welcomed our new Flag.  The awards presentations showcased the accomplishments of our juniors and "older" racers and cruisers.  And everyone enjoyed an awesome night of great food, fantastic live music and the shared love of sailing with dear friends.  Our new venue, Richmond's Hippodrome Theater, was superb and many stayed 'til closing time dancing to the Jangling Reinhardts.

A special thank you to Mike and MJ Toms and Brynn Moody for helping at registration and David Hinkle for producing our front entrance poster.  And a huge shout-out to Social …

We're looking forward to seeing many of our FBYC family at this year's Annual Meeting and Commadore's Ball this weekend.  For those of you partaking in the merriment, we're teasing you with an advance "taste" of one of the many desserts from Pearl's Bakery.  You'll have your pick between gingerbread, beignet, Candy Cane or Grandma's Garden flavors, not to mention all the other fantastic food you'll be enjoying.

This is your chance to dress up, get down and dance...and be ready to celebrate all that we are as Fishing Bay Yacht Club.  (Parking is a bit limited so be sure to arrive in time for the Annual Meeting!)

There's a party brewing and it's going to be a smash hit...just like the singers once featured at Richmond's Hippodrome. (Learn more at: https://hippodromerichmond.com)  

This 100-year-old theater that showcased greats like Ella Fitzgerald and Louie Armstrong, is the exciting location for our 2019 Annual Meeting and Commadore's Ball.  Look at the changes for this year:

  • Greatly reduced cost for members and guests
  • Passed hors d'oeuvres like Bang Bang Shrimp and cash bar
  • Family-style dinner featuring lamb chops, Montreal chicken, grilled asparagus and cupcakes from Pearl's.  YUM!
  • Music by the Jangling Reinhardt's 

We'll also have our annual meeting and awards presentation as part of the night so plan to celebrate with your sailing family and dance the night …

Congratulations Lud!
