Welcome
Texoma Sailing Club is the most active group of sailors on Lake Texoma
From racing, themed dinners and holiday parties, to quiet summer evening raft-ups, there is always something going on at TSC!
Message from the Commodore
Hello TSC!
This is clearly my favorite season. The weather gets a tad cooler, the breezes pickup. A great time to raise the sails.
So, this coming Saturday is the Sundowner Race. It is the first of three remaining races for the season. Don’t miss out on all the fun! Mary has sent out several reminders already so please sign up and join us. We also need headcount for dinner so there is enough for all to enjoy. Please sign up as soon as possible.
It has been some time since we have officially recognized new folks to the club. Though some below were acknowledged earlier in the year, I would like to take a moment now and extend a very warm welcome to all our new club members of 2021:
Steve Bell
Michael Davis
Scott & Liliana Larson
Brock Marion & Belinda Berry
Michael Parker
Matt & Holly Ramsey
Mary Pat & Isaac Rodriguez
Jeffrey & Charlotte Ryan
Nicholas Schindler & Jordan Trahan
Bob Sittel
Byron & Heidi Smith
Serge & Kate Tocatjian
Hope you are all enjoying the club and all that Lake Texoma has to offer!
Back to business.
September 24, we held the Asbury Smith Cup in memory of Asbury Smith, a founding member and the engineer that designed the Caney Creek Yacht Club. Caney Creek had a great showing for the race even though the wind did not really cooperate. A huge thank you to those who did attend from TSC and came to the dinner. These relationships are so vital for our club and the future of club sailing at Lake Texoma.
Here are the events for the remainder of 2021 at TSC:
October 23 – Octoberfest Race and Octoberfest Dinner at the TSC clubhouse that evening. Thank you, Libby Albritton, for volunteering to cook dinner for us!
November 6 – Thanksgiving Potluck Dinner – no race on this date
November 13 – End of Season Race, our popular Men’s Chili Cookoff, and the TSC quarterly meeting
December 4 – Christmas Party with Gift Exchange
Reservations for any of these events can be made through Mary Nichols at mhnichols54@gmail.com.
A few reminders:
Please plan on a solicitation notice for 2022 dues starting on December 1, 2021. The early bird prices will remain for all of December through the end of January 2022. Please contact Judy Nitsche for any questions or concerns at josinani2014@gmail.com.
The TSC Board will start outlining next year’s calendar in November as well. If you have recommendations or preferences on the events or socials, please share.
