Welcome to the Swiss Club Tell

We had a good turn out for the General Meeting in San Rafael. The membership voted on our Fall event, and chose Safari West in a very tight race. (Ranked choice voting was used for the three options presented.) The club is in a good financial position and our trustees approved the financial reports. See President Trudy's letter for more details.

That's a wrap! We had a full house for our Christmas Luncheon at the Basque Cultural Center. The food was fantastic,  Steve Balich's music was wonderful as always, Lisa outdid herself with the table decorations and Samiclaus even had some gifts to hand out to the kids.  Check out the video Tom took of our event and some great photos from our members. See you at the General meeting in January.

We were lucky to have another beautiful day on the Bay for our 2025 Bay Cruise. We had two surprises on this cruise: our First Officer greeted us in Schweizerdeutsh! and a honeymooning Swiss  couple (related to some members) joined us for the cruise. Once underway, we enjoyed beautiful views, great music, wonderful food, and convivial company. Check out the great video and photos.

The weather could not have been more perfect for our June picnic by the Bay. We filled our picnic site at McNear's Beach and even overflowed into the grass area across from our tables. Thanks to Michael for being grillmaster extraordinaire, Frank for picking up the bratwurst, and to Silvia for picking up our Cremeschnitte from Alpine Bakery in Concord. Here are a few photos from the event.

Congratulations to our Jass Tournament winners, Leonard Diggs (1st place), Silvia DeLucchi (2nd place) and Stephan Erne (3rd place).

Check out the photos.
