Hi Everyone,
As we enjoy the final days of August at Black Point, this is a reminder for those who haven’t yet paid their $30 annual dues to join the Black Point Men’s Club.
We are a year-round organization, and your dues and participation support community events and improvement projects. We welcome your membership and ideas to help make our community even better.
Upcoming Events:
Admission: $15.00
Menu: prepared by Chef Jimmy Mastria — pasta and meatballs, garlic bread, coffee, dessert, (BYO favorite beverages); please reserve your dinner order no later than Friday, August 21st . RSVP:blackpointmensclub2021@gmail.com
Dinner: 6:00 pm
It is not too early to start your design and build! We already have last year’s winners signed -up to compete again this year! Not building your boat is letting them win by default. Get those creative juices and build that boat that will be the envy of the Beach!
Winning this event is great in that a team has a fantastic design, with just cardboard and duct tape, and is successful in putting all the pieces together. Add the ability to paddle and one makes it to the top.
But the other perspective is that this event is all about the spirit of working together, maybe with your kids, neighbors or friends! Laughing, having fun and maybe a few beverages along the way! If you are able to finish and not swim in, there is a feeling of victory for doing it! It’s tough work but worth it!
Prizes for:
Youth – Middle School and Below
Other Sailors – Above Middle School (Black Point Residents and their guests)
Creativity Award – Show what can be done with cardboard and Duct Tape!
Perseverance Award – Give it all to compete!
