Please join us for our General Meeting on Thursday, April 7th, 6:30pm. The meeting will be at the Pierpont Bay Yacht Club, 1363 Spinnaker Dr., Ventura Harbor. This will be our first BBQ of the season, so the club will provide burgers and chicken, and we ask each person to bring a side dish or dessert to share.

April is considered our Annual Membership meeting and we will be taking nominations for Board Positions and voting in our new board. Many of our board members have served the club for a long time and we are looking for new blood to lead us out of COVID and back into great times! Our Secretary and VP of Membership have indicated they wish to be nominated to continue in their positions and we are especially interested in folks interested in being nominated as Social Vice President (VP) as we wish to continue to have at least 2 Social VPs for the next year. Position descriptions can be viewed at: https://lospadresskiclub.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/LPSC-Board-Position-Descriptions-March-2022.pdf

At the meeting, we will be announcing and taking sign-ups for several exciting spring and summer events, including:

  • Seal Rookery Walk,
  • Island Packers Day Trip to Santa Cruz Island, and
  • Rafting on the American River.

And we have more events in the planning stage!

So come and enjoy the good times with friends!
