St. Patrick’s Day Cruise - March 18-19, Hosts: Tom and Mary Ann O’Shea

Arrive early by boat or car and enjoy the
parade, which begins at 11 a.m. in downtown Melbourne on Saturday,
then enjoy the zany Irish festivities at Meg O'Malley's.

Anchor off Front Street Park and dinghy
into Melbourne Harbor, or call Melbourne Harbor Marina for
reservations (321-725-9054). If you anchor out, Melbourne Yacht Club
will allow you to use their dinghy docks; call Tom for the gate code.

ECSA activities will begin at 5 p.m. in The
Mansion downstairs Courtyard, just a short walk from MYC or from
downtown Front Street. There is lots of parking available at the
Mansion – but remember you get extra points for coming by boat.

Enjoy Blarney, Irish humor, Irish music
and a get-to-know-St. Patrick (even if you’re not Irish) contest,
complete with prizes and if we’re lucky, a visit by ECSA’s very
own Leprechaun. Wear your GREEN and join us for some magical fun.

The Mansion (www.thebigmansion.com or
321-345- 5800) has good food at reasonable prices, including
sandwiches, burgers and entrees, and, most of all, a great variety of
beer and wines.

Stick around or come back to join us Sunday
morning at 8:30 a.m. for a potluck breakfast at Front Street Park.

Sign up at the general meeting or on
TidyHQ, or call Tom O’Shea, 321-986-8772 or 919-423-1508, so we
have a good reservation number for the Mansion.
