We had a great time hosting a bake sale during the Compass Rose Carnival. If we missed you, Las Commodoras has four more events in 2024. We are excited for the annual Dog Show, Sept. 14, Oktoberfest on Oct. 5, the Nov. 16 Fashion Show and Holiday Luncheon, Dec. 12.

The Dog Show, starting at 10 a.m., will benefit Canine Companions, who provides service dogs to adults, children and veterans with disabilities, and facility dogs to professionals working in healthcare, criminal justice and educational settings. They have a training center in Oceanside – visit Southwest Region Graduations | Canine Companions to learn more about this amazing organization. Through the generosity of BCYC members, we are hoping to be able to give them a nice donation. The show will feature three main competitions: agility, best costume and obedience. The obedience competition winner will get a plaque with their name on the Riley perpetual trophy, donated by Staff Commodore Ted and Connie O’Connor. We hope to see you there!

Come and join us to celebrate Oktoberfest Oct. 5. We will have food, fun, games, dancing and a costume contest. Get your Dirndl and Lederhosen out of storage (or your closet) and join us for a night of festivities.

We will kick off the Toy Drive for the Camp Pendleton Marine families on Nov. 7. Help fill the sleigh that will be located in the clubhouse lobby, to help make this a special holiday for these very deserving families.

The Queen of Hearts game, benefiting the Ronald McDonald House, is now up to $957. We’ll be enjoying this game at Oktoberfest, the Fashion Show and the Holiday Luncheon.

We hope to see all of you at these fun events to kick off the fall and bring in the holiday season!
