Having a membership of more than 130, the club, composed of cottagers of the East Shore colony, including many Indianapolis residents, opened their 17th annual regatta of 11 races here over the holiday week end.

In addition to the weekly sailing races several social activities are being planned by the club's entertainment committee composed of oLuise Paul Todd, Barbara Bradley, Joan Hollowell and Ann Ellsworth. Following the first race here Sunday afternoon, members of the club gathered at the Todd cottage for refreshments.

Another party was being planned for the occasion of the. first of two moonlight sailing races to be held on the evening of July 17.

Other calendared events for the year include the annual New Year's Eve Jamboree to be held on December 31st and the scheduling of the ice regatta to be held from January 1 through March 6, 1849.
