Extract from letter received from John McCarter, RNLI

“LSYC has once again been a very loyal supporter of the Lifeboats, and we very much appreciate your efforts in directing that generous support to us.

The Club has facilitated 3 separate collections for RNLI, Opening Day Lunch, €482 Lifeboat Regatta, €285 and the recent Annual Dance, €1046, making a total of €1813.

As you will be aware RNLI is a voluntary organization which save lives at sea and depends totally on voluntary donations for its income.

Once again, many thanks.”

John McCarter,

Chairman, Fund Raising, Lough Swilly Lifeboat Station

The book will be launched by Mr. William McCarter at the Clubhouse on Tuesday 23^rd October, 2012, at 8pm.

Our current commodore was given an advance copy and recommends it as a very good read, both entertaining and interesting – a great Christmas present idea!

Closing date for receipt of logs is 1st November 2012 and the cup will be awarded at the Annual Prizegiving Dinner on Saturday 10th November.

William’s email address for all logs is: mcauslandw@gmail.com
