Ahoy TOA, August was so very hot and smoky that I hope you all listened to

the health warnings. I sure hope that the Washington and Cana-

dian fires are under control by September.

The Carling Yacht Club ball will be held on September 15, at the Des Moines

Yacht Club. Starting at 6:00pm, price is $80 per couple and dress grays for offi-

cers. See flyer in this Outboarder.

Viking Yacht Club is celebrating their Commodore on October 6th at 6:00pm. It

will be held in Tacoma at the Son’s of Norway Hall. See the flyer in this Out-

boarder. This will be a fun dinner and dance because of the small change they

have made. It is a gangster themed party! So gather up you’se wise guys, and

you’se faverate moll and enjoy a night of fun, food and dancing. Of course

you’se should wear you’se best zute suit. Back to reality, Officers may wear

dress grays if they really need to. Price is $40 per person.

Hello TOA

We have had some awesome weather this summer hope everyone got out to

enjoy some of it. We have had several cruises and all had a great time.

We had the day cruise to Cutts Island hosted by Dave Antonson and his com-

mittee. There were 4 boats in attendance, and fun was had by all.

Then we had the kids cruise at Alder Lake and we had so many campers and people that came

out just for the day the kids had a really great time and food was awesome thank you Amanda

Jordan for running this cruise great job. I would also like to thank Dave and Donna Hoover for

their jet skis and helping cook. Also Dave and Roberta Dolhar for help with cooking and orga-

nizing games.

Then came the Commodores cruise to long branch and we had 10 boats and about 50 people

show for the dinner and roast at noon on Saturday. Our Commodore survived the roast that

our past Commodores put him thru thank you Dave Hoover for that and for helping on the

whole cruise to make it a great weekend also Dave and Roberta Dolhar for helping put this

cruise on without you two I would have been lost, thanks again for all your help.

Thank you TOA members and all your quests that came out to support the club at these

cruises as you all know we are out to just have fun and enjoy everyone’s company. We still

have some cruises coming up so try to get out to one and enjoy with all your friends

Thanks and hope to see you at a cruise or meeting

Rear Commodore’s Report: Dave Dolhar

Hello fellow boaters and RV’ers

Not much to report from the Rear Commodore this month.

Its been a pleasure watching our club progress this year. Everyone has put an effort into the club making TOA successful and I just want to say “thank you”. Any new suggestions will be welcome for our winter activities. Yes we have our traditional events but, the thrill of experi-encing new events also tends to keep our club interesting and drawing the members out.

Now we have approximately 40 members, so just think if everyone of you help present a different event, what a exciting fun filled year we would have!!! Remember the more fun we have the more new members we will attract. See ya at Bass Pro for our Sept meeting.

Your Rear Commodore
