Regarding Tolono and Yachts

Tolono is a small village about 7 miles south of Champaign in the state of Illinois. It is approximately 2 square miles in size and has no lakes, rivers, oceans or other yacht-able bodies of water. The population is just south of 3600. The median household income is about $83k. While folks in this town may own small boats (which they drag elsewhere to use), there does not seem to be any yachts here. I live in Tolono. The only boat I own is a gravy boat.

Whistle For The Wind

The Tolono Yacht Club is not about boats. There's no sailing or rowing or motoring involved. The idea of a yacht club in a rural community with no bodies of water seemed ridiculous and amused me.  What then is the purpose of the TYC? The purpose is to not take ourselves too seriously. Maybe along the way we can do some good things for our friends and neighbors, too.
