SYC LADIES

The "Women's Improvement Committee" was established in 1965, and became the "Yacht Club Ladies" in 1975. It is now known as the “SYC Ladies”.  All ladies are automatically members of the SYC Ladies and are urged to participate in our activities.  Our objective is to provide social programs which create fellowship among our members and to improve, beautify and/or refurbish the interior of the club through fund-raising activities. 

In October 2004, the SYC Ladies voted to establish a scholarship fund to assist a New Smyrna Beach High School student further his or her education.  In May 2007, through the generosity of Club members, we were able to give two deserving students a two year $2,400 per year scholarship to Daytona Beach College.  We were also able to give two of our former scholarship recipients $1,500 toward furthering their studies at Daytona Beach College.

On the second Wednesday of each month, except July and August, a luncheon Program Meeting is held at which guests are welcome.  The Ladies usually arrive at Noon and luncheon is served at 12:30 PM.

The third Wednesday of the month is the Ladies Bridge Luncheon.  The ladies meet for lunch at 11:30 AM and play Bridge afterward.  There is also a growing number of Ladies who enjoy the game of Canasta.

On the fourth Wednesday of each month, except December, a business luncheon is held. Only members may attend.  Again, the Ladies usually arrive at Noon and luncheon is served at 12:30 PM.

The SYC Ladies gifts to the Club are an integral part of its beautification. As you walk around the Club observe the brass plaques noting the year the item was donated.

Our Ship's Store, a major fund-raising device, offers apparel and accessories for men, women and children.   A majority of the items feature the Smyrna Yacht Club burgee as a symbol of our pride and enthusiasm for the Club.

Popular events on the SYC Ladies program calendar include a Dessert Card Party, Fashion Show, Gems & Jewels, Swim/Tiki Aerobics, Commodore's Lady Cocktail Party, Basket of Cheer, Silent Auction, Christmas Decorating and Tree Lighting of the Club. The proceeds generated by several of these events allow us to support our charter.

Please join the SYC Ladies at one of our meetings – or call the Club for additional information!
