    Dear PSCers:

    Monthly Membership social meetings are held the third Monday of every month (3rd Tuesday, when Monday is a holiday), except in December when the annual Holiday Party & Awards Dinner takes the place of the regular social meeting.

    We normally have dinner together, hear from a guest speaker, and then conduct a business meeting. All year long, it's a good time!


    We'll be at the Alexandria West Marine (601 S Patrick St) this month!


    Happy Hour and networking starts at 6:00 pm and meeting starts at 7:00 pm with a short ice-breaker.  We recommend that you come early to have some food (pizza!!), birthday cake for our April birthdays, and drinks, browse through West Marine's merchandise, and hang around with other sailors.

    Do you or someone you know have a unique or interesting insight, skill, or experience related to some aspect of sailing you would be willing to present to our membership?

    Please contact our Membership Commodore for more information.
