Burgee Exchange Program

When you're out cruising this summer, and throughout the year, don't forget that the LIYC has a burgee exchange program underway. The Islander Resort is interested hanging any burgees you might acquire from other yacht clubs around the world in our "club house" (banquet room.) You may not know this, but the club's store has burgees just for this purpose. $12.00 for the printed burgee and $20.00 for the embroidered variety. Contact Rear Commodore Diana Hancock to purchase during the year.
