VYC provides and encourages
family and children activities throughout the year. Children at
VYC have the opportunity to learn a great deal about water safety
and boating, as well as have a place to enjoy "fun-in-the-sun"
with friends and family. During the holidays, there are many activities
for the whole family to enjoy and take part in. In addition, VYC
actively participates in the growth of the organizations listed
below, just to name a few
The
Venice Yacht Club is one of many proud sponsors of the Venice YouthBoating
Association (VYBA). As their mission statement reads, they "teach
beginning sailing and provide continuing education in sailing and
racing techniques, always stressing sportsmanship, seamanship, and
water safety, to reduce boating accidents and increase enjoyment
of boating".
The new VYBA website is VeniceYouthBoating.com.
 The
Venice Yacht Club also supports the Toys for Tots program. Each
year, VYC organizes a campaign to collect toys for needy families
at Christmas time. Toys for Tots Statement: "The objectives
of Toys for Tots are to help needy children throughout the United
States experience the joy of Christmas; to play an active role in
the development of one of our nation's most valuable natural resources
- our children; to unite all members of local communities in a common
cause for three months each year during the annual toy collection
and distribution campaign; and to contribute to better communities
in the future". To learn more about "Toys for Tots",

 Love
and Cookies is a Yacht Club tradition that began as a simple cookie
exchange at the home of Donna Claftin. The exchange quickly became
a very popular event and it was decided to donate the cookies to
our local Hospice Care Recipients. We are proud to have participated
in this event for over fifteen years.
