Lobster Bake 2017!

It’s time for our annual Club lobster bake! 

The festivities will begin at 5 pm on Wednesday, July 19, 2017 at the Fort Williams picnic shelter.  Dinner will be served at approximately 5:30 pm. 

The traditional menu will include a choice of two lobsters or one steak or a vegetarian burger meal ( or hamburger or hot dog for kids’ orders).  Each dinner also will include clam chowder, corn, potato salad, cole slaw, cake and drinks; the charge will be about $35.00 (to be determined in July per the market price of lobster.)  The charge per child is $5.00. 

In order for us to plan better and accurately order the food, please respond as soon as possible (July 5 is the deadline; it’s coming right up!) by email to Anne at anne.swiftkayatta@gmail.com with your answers to both of the following questions:

--Your name

--Number of adults you will bring (include yourself and list names)

--Number of kids you will bring

--Do you want a lobster dinner (2 lobsters/person), a steak dinner, a veggie burger dinner, or hamburger/hotdog (for kids)?
