| Know Thy Neighbor |
| On the third Saturday of each month, from October through May, 7PM volunteer Weatherby Lake residents rotate hosting a casual gathering in their homes. About 6 to 10 other residents are randomly assigned to each host home, but neither the host nor the guest knows who they will be gathering with. Guests bring a preassigned food item and hosts provide only the main entree and beverages. The focus is not on the meal, but rather on meeting and getting better acquainted with our neighbors and promoting improved understanding among the residents of Weatherby Lake. "Know Thy Neighbor" supports all other Weatherby Lake programs and organizations an encourages good will among neighbors. This is an excellent informal way to meet new and longtime residents (couples and singles). Contact Pat Medill 741-1569 e-mail at prmedill@aol.com. Always an interesting and enjoyable experience. |

| YACHT CLUB |
The Weatherby Lake Yacht Club Wants You To Join Us! WLYC provides members and the community with fun, education and service 12 months a year. WLYC is one of the oldest standing clubs at the lake. The WL Sailing Club was founded in 1966 and later the name was changed to WL Yacht Club. Each year the Yacht Club’s activity agenda is crammed full of family events. Social: The events are kicked off with the ICE BREAKER party, its chili cook off and toy boat regatta. Blessing of the Fleet Breakfast is the first spring event. Regatta Party follows the annual Sailing Regatta. Progressive Dinner is the showcase event of the club. Three homes are opened to members for Hors d’oeuvres, Dinner and Dessert. The infamous auction is held to support our Junior Sailing Program. A party follows the Long Distance Race at C Point. The Awards Banquet closes the planned social events for the season. Don’t be surprised by impromptu events after Sunday’s weekly races or any other time for that matter. Sailing: Boats are readied throughout the spring and spontaneous, make up racing begins when the harbor master drops the markers and the race chairman sets the course. Races are weekly and classed with points compiled. Boats include Sonars, Santanas, Catalinas, Lazers, Snipes and anything with a sheet to sail. Events: Invitation Regatta, Long Distance Race, King Series and Sport Boat Run-a-Round Junior Sailing: This program is a long-standing service to the community and started soon after the inception of the Sailing Club. Sabots and Optimist boats are used for weekly summer classes and some 50 Weatherby Lake children enjoy the training and fun provided by the professional staff in 2005. Our future sailors test their increasing abilities during the annual summer term. Service: The two boats owned by the WLYC provide the Improvement Company transportation and manpower for lake maintenance and Lake Patrol backup. The annual C Point Dock maintenance and repair Work Weekend cares for the C Point Community Docks. The C Point flagpole garden is renewed annually and maintained by the club. Holiday Lighting at C Point, the seasonal project of lights and maintenance, is being assumed by the Club in 2005. Junior Sailing Instruction is open to all community children in the summer term and boats are available for individual lessons during the season. Come join us and be as proud as we are of our club. |
