As a rich tradition and a welcoming to new and potential members, the Island Estates Yacht Club brought in the New Year at the beautiful Bellaire Country Club. Meeting old friends and making new ones all were welcomed.

Members were encouraged to sign up for the exciting new club events that will be held monthly throughout 2019. Some of the old but most enjoyable events include the Blind Auction, Progressive Dinner, Change of Watch, Annual Meeting and Dinner, and of course, Florida’s 2nd largest boat parade, The Island Estates Yacht Club Holiday Boat Parade. New events being planned and met with much excitement include BYOSC (Bring Your Own Steak Cookout), Country and Western Party, Murder Mystery Dinner, Hard Rock Casino, Cinco de Mayo Potluck, and more.

​

The new Commodore, Scott Moncrieff, led the pledge and invocation. Brunch was then presented with an elegant and beautiful smorgasbord of deliciously prepared food. The buffet included smoked salmon, a variety of cold salads and vegetables, prime rib, chicken, salmon, eggs benedict, scalloped potatoes, green bean almandine, cheese blintzes (with strawberries and cream), followed by perfectly sized petite desserts. The food was tremendous and the service was outstanding.
