Manchester Junior Yacht Club Dance -- Over age 13

At MYC
This dance has been a tradition for many years. Parents of current MYC children remember the Yacht Club Dances from their high school years. Be part of a long history of gathering with friends and dancing on the deck under the stars. JYC Commodore Jacob Martz will be our DJ, light snacks and smoothies will be offered for refreshments (there will be a $5.00 cover charge). Family members and friends are welcome -- even those who are not MYC members -- so put together a group and join the fun!
Echo Open Water Rowing Shells
Sunday, July 10 at 1500
At MYC
The Manchester Junior Yacht Club presents an Echo Open Water Rowing Shell Demo Event. This is a great opportunity for adults and children to try a new sport! MYC members Fred Dodge and Ledyard McFadden along with Echo Rowing representatives will be on-hand to demonstrate Olympic-style rowing in boats designed for performance, stability and safety on Salem Sound. Echo Rowing makes rowing as great for novices as for experienced rowers looking for the freedom to row most anywhere, anytime.
20-minute demo/rowing lessons are offered for learn-to-rowers by 2 - 4 coaches/volunteers. Experienced rowers can join a group and row on Salem Sound. If you are interested in participating, please contact paula@filiasmanagement.com
