Young Leaders Society’s Sunset Dinner Cruise

Torrential downpours of rain and golf ball-sized hail couldn't keep us from having fun during YLS's Sunset Dinner Cruise! YLS members and potential members gathered on Saturday, May 10, 2008 aboard Lake Austin Riverboats' Commodore and set sail on a memorable sunset tour of Lake Austin. Everyone was a little damp at the start - either from the 98 degree temps or from dashing through the raindrops - but the Commodore was a great venue in which to take shelter because it was mostly covered! As our captain took us around beautiful Lake Austin, we noshed on hula hut fajitas, played Board Member bingo, and networked with fellow young professionals. The evening ended with some door prize give-aways - a YLS party staple! Thanks to our members and Board Members for making the evening a great success!

The mission of Young Leaders Society is to inspire philanthropy and volunteerism in the young leaders of Central Texas. Membership consists of more than 600 individuals and couples who contribute $1000 annually to United Way Capital Area. Learn more at www.unitedwaycapitalarea.org/yls.
