SMSC Spring Clean-Up and After Party
Our new season begins with our Annual Spring Clean-Up! Come help your fellow members prepare our clubhouse, grounds and marina. We will be deploying the slips the same day. The day begins at 10am.
Sign up or show up! If you’d like to see what you can bring with you, please visit our Spring Clean-Up Sign-Up Form. But don’t let not signing up deter you from just showing up! Many hands make light work!
This year we’ll be tending to any beach rocks at low tide. We’ll need the roads repaired, yard clean up with any trees and brush cleared and trimmed. In the clubhouse, we’ll clean and condition the floors, wash the windows, clean out the fridges, bar, and cupboards, and downstairs cleared out winter stored boats and bring the patio furniture back on the deck. To name a few tasks!
If you have any equipment you can bring to help out in these tasks, please do.
As members, this is our Club and it’s up to us to keep it in shipshape condition. We need a large turnout to keep things fair.
Free non-alcoholic beverages and pizza will be provided at lunchtime. With specials on Draught Beer, Draught Cider and House Wine during the Happy Hour after-party.
To assist with planning, we will ask you to register in advance.
