We are planning on going to the Boatyard Pub after the Caroling Cruise. The kitchen is open until 9 PM if folks are hungry. Music (Bluegrass) until 9, too!
The Boatyard Pub, located in Ventura Harbor Village at 1583 Spinnaker Dr., has new-american style cuisine cooking up everything from steak & lobster to a fresh poke bowl. They are open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with 16 local handcrafted beers on tap! https://venturaharbor.com/directory/boatyard-pub/
We are invited as guests of the Pierpont Bay Yacht Club (PBYC) to the Ventura Harbor Annual Parade of Lights And Potluck Dinner. The event starts at PBYC on Saturday December 14th with the Bar opening at 5:00PM and the potluck dinner following. Later, we can view the parade from the deck of the club or from the docks.
Please bring a dish to share. Wear your Ugly Christmas sweater and join the fun with a White Elephant Christmas Gift exchange. See you there!
One of our honorary members, Chris “Ski” Chergoski, has ALS which is also know as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The 2019 Ventura/Santa Barbara Counties Walk to Defeat ALS, is Sunday, October 6th, and we have a chance to celebrate together at Plaza Park, in beautiful Downtown Ventura! Ski is looking forward to seeing many, many of us joining him as part of the Ventura “Ski” Team, and the ALS Association’s Golden West Chapter, to fight back against the horrible, terrible disease of ALS!
You can donate to support the Ventura “Ski” Team but clicking here: http://web.alsa.org/site/TR?px=1096221&pg=personal&fr_id=13761&et=Z-FOSSw7-ojzQNCPUA5MKA Thank you very much for your tremendous support for “Ski” and the ALS Association’s Golden West Chapter!
Cost, including roundtrip train, lunch and museum fees, is $75.
If you prefer to drive and meet us downtown, or make your own train reservations from another city, the cost for lunch and museum fees only is $25. Alternatively, if you wish to take the train with us and be on your own when we get there, the cost is $50.
The distances between our destinations are short — about 0.5 miles to Chinatown, 1 mile to Broad and MOCA, and 1 mile back to Union Station. If you choose to walk, be aware that there are hills involved. Metrolink, uber or taxis are always available in downtown LA.
We need to make train and museum reservations as soon as possible, so the only way to guarantee your spot is to make full payment at the ski club meeting this week.
For more questions, contact Carol Sexton, Trip Coordinator.
Remember to bring a chair, your own beverage, tools and decorations for making a sand sculpture, salad/snack/dessert to share!
Our Annual Beach party is planned for September 21st from 10:00 am to early afternoon. The club provides coffee, Mimosa’s, and bagels for breakfast and a large Sub sandwich for lunch. You provide your own beverage and a salad/snack/dessert to share. Bring your favorite beach game and a beach chair. And don’t forget your sunscreen!
We will also have our third annual sand sculpture building contest. So bring shovels, buckets, other tools to form, shape and decorate your sand sculpture. There will be prizes!
The beach party will be on the beach in front of 1459 Greenock Lane, Ventura. Parking is near by at Marina Park. The earlier you get there, the easier it is to find parking.
We have a double header for this Thursday, July 18. We will head to downtown Ventura for Happy Hour at Capriccio Restaurant from 4-5:30. Their menu looks great and they are reserving the middle section of the restaurant for us!
At 5:30 those interested will head over to Mission Park (easy walk to Main and Figueroa so you can keep your car parked in the same place) to hear Incendino (Prez Tom’s fav) for a free concert with the Ventura Music Festival. Blankets and low-back chairs encouraged. In fact, you might want to set up your chair/blanket before you come to TGIT. Just a thought – I am not sure when the park opens.
Rebecca is leading a trip to the Getty Villa which is on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica. Stay tuned for details!
