FISHING COMMITTEE

The LHPYC Fishing Committee will be hosting its first official event "Hook
and Cook" September 14 from 6:30 to 10pm. All members and their guests are
invited to enjoy a day of fishing followed by a "cook your catch" cookout on
the Patio. The cuisine for the evening will be "Floribbean" themed with either
grilled or blackened fish options. If you don't fish but want to attend, not to
worry, the club will have both fresh fish selections and selections for the
Landlubbers and children who attend. There will be live music from the
sounds of Neil Freestone, and we look forward to a great evening! The price
for this event is $18.00 if you supply your own fresh catch or $30.00 for club
selections. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at
[email protected] or contact Gina at LHPYC. We will be posting a
sign-up sheet for members and their boats that will be fishing and dinner
reservations are required through the club.

The committee is also in the early planning stages of our first "Fishing Trip" in the fall and we will announce details for this
fishing destination trip in September when the club re-opens.

HONOR FLIGHT SOUTH FLORIDA – SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 21ST

When do you have the opportunity to personally thank 78 WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam Veterans? THE TIME IS NOW!
Every flight we have less and less WWII Veterans. The unfortunate fact is that out of the 16 million who served, only approximately
490,000 are still alive. It is estimated that 372 WWII Veterans die per day.
Our third of four 2019 flights takes off Saturday, September 21st! Let's show
these Veterans our South Florida patriotism and give them a welcome home
they won't forget, and you won't either!
Arrival Terminal 4 - we expect an approximate 8:00 pm arrival. You will want
to arrive by 7-7:30pm to get a front row spot on the parade route! Wear your
red, white and blue - bring your flags
and signs - and be part of an
experience that will touch you! Be a
special part of the end to an incredible
day for these American heroes!
