GRSA Chili Cook Off
Sunday, April 13

One of our favorite April events is the GRSA Chili Cook Off!  A panel of experienced judges will carefully judge each of the entries.  This is your chance to match your homegrown recipe against other cooks!

The cook-off will follow the Spring Fling Regatta so be sure it's plenty WARM for the sailors after they finish.

GRSA Recipes
Ever wonder how the GRSA hot crab dip was made?  Want to share one of your favorite nautical recipes?

GRSA Recycling
By now you have seen the large green box in our Pavilion holding our recycling containers for glass, plastic and aluminum. As you enjoy the use of the club, don't forget to place your empty plastic, glass and aluminum containers in the bins. We thank Midlothian High School students for picking up our glass and plastic bottles and depositing them at recycling centers nearby. Midlothian High School Robotics Team raised $4000 by collecting aluminum cans in 2007, so they are happy to pick up our aluminum cans and we are too!
