CDSOA members Pinkie and Bob Holland
at the Wickford
Yacht Club in Wickford, RI on Friday, August
5th from 4:00-9:00 p.m. The event
will be informal with crews gathering on the patio for snacks
and conversation but will include a chicken barbecue dinner
Friday evening. The patio has gas grills, picnic tables is covered
and has side curtains to provide protection from possible inclement
weather. We’ll provide the pre-meal snacks, chicken barbecue
