Please help us help these wishes come true by joining us on Sunday October 28th 2018 for a day on the water with
either your expertise on board to help look after our "guests" or perhaps on return to help with the BBQ and cooking sausages for a late lunch.
We will be departing MHYC at 1030 and returning by 1330 for a sausage sizzle on the beach.
Please contact MHYC member Max Theeboom on 0432 713 793 or by email uni1948@tpg.com.au if you can help out in any way.
