NLSC Monthly Meetings & Special Events
The NLSC holds regular meetings, usually on the third Tuesday evening of each month. These meetings include interacting with other sailors, reports on recent club sailing trips, planning and signing-up for future club trips, a program on a topic of special interest, socializing, potluck dinners in the summer and pre-meeting restaurant get-togethers for those who come hungry.
We also have an annual Holiday Party in December, participate in the Minneapolis Boat Show in January, and do lots of other stuff. After all, we can't sail all year in Minnesota (and usually can't be away in the winter sailing in warm places - at least, not all the time.)
This information is subject to changes and updates. Please check back here regularly for the latest information.
