Always a fun night! A special thank you goes out to our ‘Vinyl Night’ hosts, Lynn, Noel, Kim, and Bob for a fantastic night of great music, food, and camaraderie. It was definitely worth getting out in the snowy weather for. ❄️

We had a blast last night at the Halloween Party at C*C! We celebrated the Day of the Dead, Dia de Los Mu***os and honored and acknowledged our loved ones who have gone before us. Fantastical, colorful symbols of sugar skulls and marigolds and monarch butterflies made it a festive night for sure. And, of course, we enjoyed tacos, margaritas, and good company!

Thank you to our wonderful hosts, Autumn, Kim, and Marty!

There’s still time to enjoy the wonderful decorations. Sunday Arena Racers will be in costumes tomorrow. After watching Arena Sailing in Round Lake at 1:00, stop by the Club between 2:00 and 5:00 and have some hot cider or a drink with us.

¡Olé!
