WHAT'S NEW AT VYC
The 24th Great Annual Chili Cook-Off, held Sunday, December 15th, 2024, continued a beloved tradition of combining fun and fundraising for our community. This year’s event carried on the legacy that began over two decades ago in the VYC parking lot.
Members, local residents, and visitors gathered to sample 10 "regular" and 3 "vegetarian" chilis to help decide the "Most Popular Chili" winner along with a panel of three judges. The judges showed incredible stamina tasting all of the chilis to judge the other three categories.

As we move closer to the completion of our club's renovation project, I have some exciting updates to share. We have changed most of the lighting throughout the club and restaurant and painted the club a rich blue which adds a warm, nautical style and feel to our club. We have also added a beautiful custom made trophy case to display our many trophies, awards and photos with room for more! There is a relaxing lounge area and the Game Room tables and chairs have been changed to add more comfortable seating. We still have more to do but our goal of completing the project by the end of October is on track. VYC Opening Day and the Re-Grand Opening of Picante Grill will be Saturday, November 9th where we will showcase our newly renovated club! We look forward to welcoming you! Please feel free to invite friends and family to the Opening Day festivities. More information will be coming soon.
