ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE

We have been busy! Recap: We had some fun events in April. We started the month with Tall Ship events, author Will Sofrin of “All Hands On Deck” , and our Annual Downtown Poker Run.

Then on April 15th, we had our Casino Night, full of casino games, raffle prizes, DJ, dancing, and fun! We finished off the month with our Dock Blowout/Key West Street Party, where we closed the street in front of SPYC and partied with a live band. We have a full calendar of events planned, so sign up early on the SPYC website:
