Valley Ho Power Squadron

Dry Land Cruise and BBQ Dinner Meeting

The Dry Land Cruise and BBQ is an outdoor BBQ Dinner usually held on a Saturday night in June at a member’s home (Marv and Barbara Nelson). Attendees bring their own meat or fish to be cooked by them on the Squadron BBQ grill, while side dishes are provided by members or Sea Gals for a nominal charge. A short Member Meeting is convened, and members may attend this meeting without participating in the meal.
The main purpose of this assembly is social and fellowship with conversations often dealing with member boating activities, although Valley Ho Squadron business, usually brief, is conducted during the meeting. Dress and activities are all very informal with the emphasis placed on fun and enjoyment.
On June 12, 2004 Valley Ho had a wonderful time at Marv and Barbara Nelson's home for the Dry Land Cruise and Barbeque. Swimming, comradeship,  a delicious meal and a very entertaining speaker from the Coast Guard were the highlights of the evening. The Coast Guard's Power Point presentation on how they are protecting our shores after the Sept 11 tragedy was very interesting. All who went really appreciated the hospitality of the Nelson’s.
