Report from the Commodore<br />
My oh my, my <strong>May</strong> newsletter is late. It's Monday evening, April 23 rd . at 8pm. I think Lady Judi<br />
and I are still numb from all the surprises at our Ball. From the moment we entered the hall - there<br />
were our friends P/C Greg Snyir and Lady Becky Henderly at the Registration table, then the perfect<br />
Photo Area by Bill & Lola Edens, with the Ships Wheel hand made by P/C Carl Butler as the<br />
center of the scene and a special gift for me. The BVYC Bridge – V/C Michael Walsh & Lady Rebecca<br />
and R/C Mark Gensler and Lady Laurie were waiting in the lobby for us to begin the Receiving<br />
Line. The Main Hall had been transformed into the most beautiful Ballroom ever. Everything<br />
was so eloquently done by the planning of Linda Gaertner, Sharon Branum, & Sue Corey in conjunction<br />
with all the efforts and labor by our entire Ball Committee. Master of Ceremonies P/C<br />
Carl Butler did a great job with the introductions and keeping the program moving along smoothly.<br />
Thank you Lady Jolene Wagner for keeping with BVYC tradition in the singing of the anthems so<br />
beautifully. My son, Brett Rogers – Thank You for the most moving (choke us up) Toast. Thanks<br />
to Reverend Julie Beitelschees for the most meaningful Invocation. After enjoying a delicious meal<br />
there was a surprise Photo Slide presentation of our life at BVYC prepared by Bill Edens. Thanks<br />
you Bill, a true treasure for us! Remarks from our sons presented by Brett Rogers with Brian Rogers<br />
cheering him on! Brett covered our entire BVYC story from Judi's childhood with her Grandparents,<br />
Roma & Leota Paule, members since the early 1950's, my joining the club in 1972, raising<br />
our sons at the club, our sons becoming members in 1997, and as of this month my 40 th year as a<br />
member! Brett so sincerely expressed our family love of and dedication to <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>View</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>,<br />
“this most wonderful Family <strong>Club</strong>”!!! Brett also introduced our Family, Friends, and most importantly<br />
my Parents in attendance. How many 68 year old Commodores are blessed to have their<br />
Parents able to attend their Commodore's Ball. How Wonderful!!! P/C Carl Butler(sometimes referred<br />
as our third son) shared his memories and experiences with us as an adult getting to know us<br />
at BVYC as of 2000. Carl, Deana, and the boys are like family to us, as well as great friends with<br />
Brian & Brett and their families. Thank you Carl! Then I was next and I thanked Brett for turning<br />
my 7 pages into mostly scrap paper (with joy in my heart)! The heat was off and I could talk about,<br />
thank, and recognize club members. This was BVYC <strong>2012</strong> Commodore's Ball and I just happen to<br />
be Commodore. I explained my love for my Lady Judi, how we have shared and grown deeper in<br />
love these soon to be 45 years. You must know by now how much we truly love this club and how<br />
proud we are to be representing <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>View</strong>. To all who attended we were overjoyed by the numbers<br />
and humbled at the same time!!! THANK YOU BAY VIEW MEMBERS!!!!<br />
How do we say THANK YOU for a years work? This Ball Committee has done so much for us and<br />
for the club. Countless hours and numerous events. We agreed on things and at times disagreed.<br />
That's human nature and thank goodness we are not all alike. The end result equals SUCCESS!!!<br />

Report from the Vice Commodore<br />
Finally, <strong>May</strong> and the boating season begins. Boats are uncovered, the yard is active and<br />
the docks are filling. It’s a great time of year.<br />
Vice Commodore<br />
Michael Walsh<br />
On March 24 th , Rebecca and I attended the Harbor <strong>View</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> Ball honoring Commodore<br />
Frank Thomas and Lady Angie. We had a wonderful evening and now I can officially say<br />
that yes “I drank with Frank.” The next day we were up early as we had to go to Toledo <strong>Yacht</strong><br />
<strong>Club</strong> to set up for the Opening of the Port, South of the Border Party. It was a long day, especially<br />
after the “drank” with Frank the previous evening. But we had a lot of fun and there was<br />
a good crowd. We even had to make a “GFS” run for more food. I want thank to all of the<br />
BVYC members who came and supported this event. The next weekend we hosted the incoming<br />
Elba Mar bus trip. I really had a great time with our friends from up north, catching up with<br />
so many people that I had not seen for several years. Again, I want thank all of the members<br />
who came out to the <strong>Club</strong> to welcome them. Later that evening P/C Rick Wagner and the Blue<br />
Gavel hosted a “Keno” night and if that wasn’t enough, Laurie Patlin had a surprise birthday<br />
party for Dave who tuned the BIG 50. Your AARP card is in the mail, Dave.<br />
Enough about the fun I‘ve been having and down to business. Last month we did have three resignations.<br />
They are: Thomas Makowski Kirk Lahey George “Ron” Hamblin<br />
We do have one new application from John Lovas. He has had his first reading and has been interviewed and will<br />
be voted on at the April 25 th meeting. I believe he will be an asset to the <strong>Club</strong>. The Constitution change that had appeared<br />
in the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>View</strong>s was passed at the last meeting. I believe this will be a good tool to use when we need to increase<br />
our membership. Lastly, the 2013 Ball committee will be preparing food for the “Five <strong>Club</strong> Poker Run” June<br />
2 nd . We have a meeting planned and will finalize what we will be serving. There will be plenty of fliers at the <strong>Club</strong> once<br />
a decision has been made.<br />
Gotta sign off, time to get ready for Commodore Don and Lady Judi’s Ball, tonight .The Vice Verses, Michael Walsh
