Shelter Island Country Club sponsored Mother’s Day parade; Some golf restrictions lifted at Goat Hill

The Shelter Island Country Club is kicking off a Mother’s Day parade tomorrow.

In a note to its members, the Board of Trustees of the club wrote:

Our drive-by parade to show our appreciation for our Shelter Island Country Club member-moms and their friends and families across the Island starts at 11 a.m. Sunday, May 10 at Crescent Beach.

Please show up about 10 minutes before in your car, SUV or truck, line up and follow the lead vehicle. Make signs, decorate your vehicles and be ready to make some noise!

Here’s our route:
