Members of the Newburgh Yacht Club; their families and guests are invited to come out and welcome the “Salute to Freedom” Flotilla as it makes a special pass by the club on Saturday, July 23, 2016.

For the last two years our club has given an impressive salute to the flotilla, this year we’re hoping to do the same.

The flotilla is scheduled to pass by the Newburgh Yacht Club between 1:00 and 1:15 PM.

Our members should arrive at Commodore”s Point at 12:45 PM.

The club will provide flags to wave to all participants.

Some of our members may also be taking their boats out to join in the Flotilla.    Cathy Nugent and Chris Carfora spoke about that our July membership meeting.  You could speak with them for more details.   You can find their contact information on the club membership roster on the your member’s profile at club’s website, NewburghYC.com
.
The event is sponsored by the Cortland Yacht Club  in conjunction with the Elks Club of Ossining.   Groups of Wounded Warriors, their families as well as a number of Gold Star Families and Purple Heart Recipients will be aboard the boats.

This is an annual event in which the community can show its support to these military members, and their and families for their service and sacrifices.

We hope to see you at Commodore’s Point Saturday to help welcome the “Salute to Freedom” Flotilla.
