A special tour cruise of the Cape Cod Canal brought to you by HY Line for the members of CCBCC and guests.  This has been a favorite event for CCBCC members for the past few years.

Sail with the CCBCC on the Hy-Line Cruises newest vessel, the 100 foot MV Monehagan.  This boat has ample open air seating above, an enclosed deck below, and a sit down bar with 5 bathrooms. Full bar and light snacks available. We can also bring our own food, and drinks except alcohol, which is available.

We will sail down and back on the Cape Cod Canal, the world’s widest man-made sea level canal, where you will be treated to a 3 hour narration on the history of the canal.  HY-Line Cruises has been doing this since 1979 and are the only licensed tour on the Canal.  They know the canal.!!

An officer of the CCBCC Board has secured a group rate of $18 dollars per person for the Canal Cruise on 10/5 at 10 am.  Parking is free on pier, and cruise payment should be made individually by cash or credit upon arrival.  Please arrive on the pier by 9:30AM.

Please be on the pier at 9:30AM on 10/5/24, Saturday to purchase tickets and be ready to board.

Nancy & Ken Ridley have designed a brand new run for us in the Upper/Mid Cape ending at the Holly Ridge Golf Club for lunch.  Come on out, have fun, and help us support the Independence House.

The CCBCC Freezing’ Fun Run For Kids (FFR4Ks) is an exciting annual fundraising event for Independence House and a great social gathering for CCBCC where we come together for a cruise and a lunch and raise much needed funds for IH.  CCBCC is proud to have a 22 year old relationship with this highly respected non-profit service organization that provides much needed services to abused women and their families.  Last year’s FFR4Ks raised $5,580 for Independence House.  Our goal this year is $6,000 or more.

We are asking everyone to bring a gift card of at least $25 and one or more items for the silent auction.  

Help us help Independence House by attending this event.

NOTE: this is a RAIN or SHINE event – there is no rain date – we will hold the event regardless of weather.  

Tradition demands that tops are down/off despite the temperature – that’s why it’s the Freezing’ Run.

(You can choose what transportation to bring if it’s raining/snowing.)
