The weekend event is one of many the club has started to promote membership among families. “This organization has a great spirit and togetherness. We want everyone to feel welcome at the Yacht Club,” Howard Blankman said Sunday. After taking a tour, Olivia’s parents, Susan and Joe Guzzo joined the Yacht Club while Olivia fished. “Well, we have friends that just joined,” Susan Guzzo said as to why she chose to join. “And I think it’s a great idea to get the young families in -- give them something to do on the Island.”
