Established in 1949, Stockton Water Ski Club, is the 2nd oldest water ski club in the United States. Residing in the heart of the California Delta west of Stockton, CA the club is close enough for an easy day excursion or weekend camping trip.
This is the first island celebration of the season. Chef Kelly will be barbecuing some delicious chicken provided by the club and all the members have to do is bring a dish to share. (salad-fruit-pasta-dessert- etc.) and your own drinks. We still need some volunteers to help clean up. Email Linda @ lkfish@comcast.net if you are willing to help.

Spring Island Clean Up: Special thanks to the Springer Family for organizing the Island Clean up weekends this year. Teresa did an awesome job keeping us all well fed as we worked on our projects. We also want to thank those wonderful members who came out, rolled up their sleeves, and really got a lot of work done. Gardening (mowing, weed wacking, tree pruning) was the main focus, but also we worked on the restrooms and deck and saw the arrival of our new tractor.
