Volunteers Needed – Sailing Base Cleanup

Ahoy Sailors and Paddlers!
Help is needed with cleaning up our Sailing Base!  As we approach the end of the season, we will be clean and put away our boats, while completing some other minor projects in order to prepare our base for the winter.
The Sailing Base Cleanup will be Saturday, November 9th, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m.
We’ll provide food and plan projects based on the anticipated number of volunteers. We would appreciate your completing the poll below if you can attend.
If you find you can help out at the last minute, you are welcome to come even if you haven’t RSVPed.  Thank you for your willingness to help! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Thanks to the Indiana Midday Rotary

Thanks to the Indiana Midday Rotary for supporting the Friends of Yellow Creek. Rotary member Chris Buell delivered a check to FOYC representatives Cindy Rogers (Secretary) and Ken Sherwood (Co-chair).

The rotary grant will allow FOYC to build a bridge enhancing the multi-use trails at Yellow Creek.  Autumn is a great time to enjoy the trials on your mountain bike or on foot. The 14+ miles of single-track at Yellow Creek are appreciated by vistors throughout the region, maintained by FOYC and LHORBA volunteers.

See Indiana Midday Rotary on the web or Facebook  for information about meetings, membership and projects.

May Sponsor of the Month

YC Monthly races began as a way to introduce more folks to the cross-country trail system that travels around Yellow Creek Lake and also as a way to raise funds and increase membership for Friends of Yellow Creek.  We couldn’t do this without our sponors who offset timing and insurance costs.  Our full list of 2024 sponsors is here.  Please take a few moments to check out their services, visit them, and thank them for supporting us!

Flat Tire Co. is covering our May timing costs once again. Stop in to see Ashley, Justin, and the rest of the Flat Tire crew at their Greensburg location. Again, support your local bike shop!
