Our annual fundraising potluck dinner and auction will be Tuesday December 10, 2024, at the Olympia Yacht Club. Doors will open at 6:00 PM, the potluck dinner starts at 6:30 PM. The auction will once again benefit the Thurston County Food Bank. Last year we raised over $30,000 for their programs.
Please bring a main dish, salad, or desert for the potluck. Beverages will be provided.
The auction will feature decorated Wine Bottles and goods and services donated by local businesses and individuals. Some of the donations featured last year included:
Four-hours of sailing instruction with ASA Sailing Instructors Bob Hake, Robert Butts, and Mike Clidas
Two-hours of boat detailing including chemical charge by Trina Laur.
Four-hours of sailing instruction or leisure sail aboard Puelche, a Jeanneau 45.2, with ASA Sailing

In keeping with our traditions, we are asking members to decorate a wine bottle to sell in the auction. If you have additional boating-related high value items that you would like to donate for the auction, please contact Jim Larsen or Bob Butts.
