Rotary Social on Lake Shelbyville
On a warm September Saturday, several C-U Sunrisers and guests took out the ‘Party Barge’ on Lake Shelbyville. There was lots of great conversation and food as we slowly sailed up the lake… only to loose the steering at Eagle Creek. However, it was a perfect opportunity to go for a swim (Todd, Beth and Ed) and to fire up the grills and have lunch.
After we were towed back in to the marina, Keith Brandau invited us all over to his houseboat. Thanks Keith for putting this all together!
