Get ready everyone, it’s the return of the ULDB Regatta! Normally the Club hosts an “Up the Lake, Down and Back” Regatta and summer picnic. Of course, this year we had to cancel the picnic.

Hey, all, We have re-scheduled the ULDB Regatta distance race for this coming Saturday, 9/19. Note that this is only for the race, and NOT the picnic!

They may try to organize a memorial, but in this time of pandemic, that is uncertain. […]

It is with great sadness that I must inform the Club that long time member Dianne Paxton passed away this morning. Dianne was significant and important member of the Club.
