Catawba Rendezvous

July 8-10, 2022

The Catawba Club Rendezvous is a popular and enjoyable rendezvous members are excited to attend. Boats began to arrive in the harbor on Friday with a pleasant forecast of light and variable winds on Lake Erie, perfect for a day of boating. Many members without boats joined in on the fun, drove, and stayed at the hotel accommodations at the Club, too. Even with a few raindrops, the members gathered for a Welcome Reception on the Pavilion Side Deck, and it did not spoil the friendly atmosphere and camaraderie. That evening members planned for activities the next day.

Members enjoyed the pickleball courts on Saturday morning in a round-robin event that included Catawba Club members and guests. Then they headed off to enjoy the mimosas and Bloody Marys at the Patio Bar with the rest of the group. The day was windy but sunny, and the members enjoyed an afternoon of golf and a trip to the Owen Winery.

Members also enjoyed the pool and the waterside Beach Bar during the day. Finally, the group wrapped up the fun day and gathered in the Chart Room for a delicious seasonal dinner. Commodore Jason Grobbel opened with sharing. Our host, Mr. Stouffer, sliced and served the beef, a annual tradition members look forward to experiencing. On Sunday, many members brunched and then departed back to the GPYC to get some rest after a fun-filled, busy weekend.
