Build a Bike
And how about that mall? Or the glow of the screen and the point and click of the mouse? Stressful and impersonal enough for you? How about getting up close and assembling a gift that will be a treasure for a very lucky recipient? Now we are talking the spirit of the Holidays! Build a Bike might be just the ticket. And how about your youngsters? Maybe this is a moment to teach them a bit about working and giving? Nah, they don’t need to learn about that! How about assembling a couple of bikes as a family? A bike with a helmet is a modest $ 65.00. Your elf crew will start collecting bikes as soon as you sign up and sign up forms will be available shortly on line and in the club. So join us and commit to a bike or two and come on down to your Sequoia Yacht Club on December 10th at 2:00, to enjoy some pizza and beer and put them together! Or watch our talented elves navigate the bike build process on your behalf. The bikes will remain on display until they are collected by the Redwood City Fire Department (holiday catastrophes permitting) at our Holiday DID on December 16. |

Come join us to celebrate the year and to welcome the incoming club officers. We thank everyone who has helped and give out some special awards, such as Member of the Year.
Come to the club early on the afternoon of July 4 to enjoy the newly refinished deck, to have a great 4th of July BBQ, to socialize with your Sequoia friends, and most importantly, to participate in the Sequoia APPLE PIE BAKEOFF!
Plan on gathering sometime around 4:00 pm, with dinner served at 6:00 pm. The Apple Pie Bakeoff will follow immediately after dinner, giving you plenty of time to get in your boat, or just sit on the shore and watch the fireworks display put on by Redwood City.
