'Songs of Yesteryear' is 1984 Flotilla theme

“Songs of Yesteryear” is the theme for the 1984 version of the Wawasee Flotilla to be held on the weekend of July 7 and 8. Bill Beemer is serving as the Commodore for this year’s festivities. Fireworks at Syracuse’s Lakeside Park on July 4 will mark the beginning of Flotilla festivities. That will be followed on Saturday, July 7, with the annual road race and 25-mile bicycle race. The Flotilla Ball will be held on Saturday night at the Syracuse American Legion. Cromwell will hold its fireworks on Saturday night. Highlighting this year’s activities will be the annual parade around Lake Wawasee on Sunday, July 8. Floats will be judged in basically the same categories as last year. The top entry will be recognized with a SSOO cash prize and the Commodore’s Trophy. This year, the Flotilla committee has set up a clearing-house for people who would like to offer the use of a boat or who are in need of a boat for the annual parade. If you wish to offer the use of a boat or would like to enter the parade but lack a craft, contact Dick Meyer at The Anchorman, 457-4919. Other activities are also being planned for the Syracuse area during the weekend. However, plans have yet to be finalized.

What members refer to as a special task force takes on off season projects. They have provided a Christmas shopping tour to Chicago and have even helped the group in publishing a guild cookbook. When asked about community support, Mrs. Schmahl stated that it had improved over the years, but added, “We would like to see more of our older teens come out to the theatre.” She reminded, there are student discount tickets as well as those for senior citizens. The theatre makes an economical alternative to movies and other typical dating places, added vice president Shelley Moore. Season tickets are now available from Guild members at a discounted rate, concluded Mrs. Schmahl.
