Finally, May and the boating season begins. Boats are uncovered, the yard is active and
the docks are filling. It’s a great time of year.

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