46TH ANNUAL LUAU

Luau Beach (east side of cut) One of the great events of our summer—bring the entire family to the inside of Harding’s Beach—east of the cut—for an afternoon of cooking out, family-oriented competition and fun. No boat? No worries—just show up at the end of Chief’s Pier beginning at noon for a lift to the beach. Is this the year the greased watermelon contest returns? Come and find out!! Bathing suits and shorts a must!

JOINT DANCE WITH CHATHAM BEACH AND TENNIS CLUB

20 July, Monday, 1800-2000
Chatham Beach and Tennis Club All sailing-school age kids are welcome to join kids from the Beach Club for an early evening of fun and dancing. Last year’s event was a success, so we look forward to this becoming an annual mixer between the two Clubs. Nice casual.
