Save the Yacht Club
To the editor:
In a past episode of the original Magnum P.I. TV show, Magnum, and Higgins work to save the King Kamehameha Club from being sabotaged and bulldozed. Their club was created to be a public beach club much like our own Cape Coral Yacht Club.
The Cape Yacht Club was created by this city founders. It is of mid-century design and many of us have fond memories of weddings, parties, and civic events there. I remember as a young girl looking in the windows after my baton lessons to see the entire ballroom filled with women and men dressed up and dancing every Saturday night years ago. It is the heart of our community.
We need to preserve this city’s history and not let it disappear like the Rose Garden. Many years ago we had a beautiful rose garden with a waltzing waters show. Hundreds of people would go there every night to see the beautiful light show and sit around the gardens to watch.
Be like Magnum. Save the Yacht Club.
