Summer is finally here and we are getting<br />
some decent weather. Lets bite the bullet, fuel up and do some<br />
cruising. There is a lot to do close by. Visit our local clubs and enjoy<br />
the fellowship. Also check out all the fun filled activities our<br />
rear commodore and fleet captain have planned for us. Last month<br />
was busy and I'd like to thank the Blue Gavel for the brats and<br />
burgers night and Fleet Captain PC Omey for putting together the<br />
5-club poker run. We had a good time cooking chicken and fries<br />
for VC Rogers fundraiser till we had to leave to attend Swan Boat<br />
<strong>Club</strong>s Commodores Ball. Thanks to Tim Krell and his crew for hosting<br />
Beer Fest II. Becky and I accompanied by VC Rogers, Lady Judi<br />
and PC Scott Kneisel attended the Opening of the Island at Ford<br />
<strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>. After the ceremony it was back to <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>View</strong> to light<br />
the match and BURN THAT LEASE !!! Thank You to everyone involved<br />
in making that all come together.<br />
On June 17 TH. Becky and I attended the first poker run of<br />
the season. Where yours truly, Mary Kathryn participated in the<br />
$1.98 beauty contest. Thanks to all the members who came out to<br />
support me. The Regatta was well attended by <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>View</strong> members.<br />
THANK YOU !<br />
Coming up <strong>July</strong> 1st. the Kneisel Family will be hosting a<br />
fundraiser for the American Heart Association. Please plan to attend<br />
and support the event. Don't forget to check the Rear Commodores<br />

Report from the Vice Commodore<br />
<strong>July</strong>, how can it be! It seems we just put away the Christmas Trees. Boats have paint &<br />
polish, in the water at last - haven't left the dock and the time is moving fast!!! OK<br />
enough! Let me back up to June 2nd 6:30 am as I load up in my father's van with my Dad<br />
and Aunts Peggy & Elsie. 700 miles south to Bessemer, Alabama to attend Cousin Morris<br />
Edward Rogers' funeral. A safe but very HOT trip (98 Friday & 99 Saturday). Can I get<br />
home on June 4th to help with my first Fund Raiser (5 <strong>Club</strong> Poker Run)? I hope so!!!<br />
Did I? Not even close. By Friday night was my Lady Judi on overload?! Very much so! I<br />
said Honey you'll be fine - we have a good committee. I didn't know that my good committee<br />
would become SUPER performers. Commodore Greg Snyir, Ron Roop, and our<br />
son Brian Rogers cooked at the deep frier's outside in 90 + heat all day, with P/C<br />
Lee Omey helping our between several other commitments that same day. Our Co-chairs<br />
Lelsie Roop & Mindy Delvaux (just two days recovering from knee surgery) along with<br />
committee members Sharon Branum, Sue Corey, Lindsey Collins, Linda Gaertner & Jim,<br />
Mark Gensler, Mary Jo Schmelz, Becky Henderly, Chrisanne Timm and other BVYC<br />
members Carol Griffin and Diana Vanderhoff covered all the inside duties. My Lady Judi did all the preliminary<br />
planning & shopping for the food & supplies and Mark & Lindsey were at the club to get it all into the galley prior<br />
to the event. Judi & I appreciate all your hard work so very much. You turned the day into a GREAT Fund Raiser.<br />
Blessed are we who have so many friends!!! Now June 11th A.M. - A road trip to Ford <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> for the<br />
"Opening of the Islands". Joining us was Commodore Greg Snyir & Lady Becky Henderly and another of my<br />
mentors, P.C Scott Kneisel (even though I'm almost twice his age). As we departed it looked as if it were about to<br />
rain. A few short stories, alot of laughing, some tex messages to Lady Sharon in Washington DC, and we arrived.<br />
The sun comes out and we participate in a very moving ceremony followed by a pleasant boat ride and the<br />
Blessing. Hurry back to BVYC to Burn the Lease! June 11th P.M. - Burn The Lease Party, a WONDERFUL<br />
Event! Thank you to P/C Lee Omey & Lady Judy and Brandon & Linda Smith! The food was delicious and I<br />
didn't have to do dishes. Lady Judi & I enjoyed seeing new members and old friends like the Peter sons. June<br />
17th - Toledo Sailing <strong>Club</strong> Regatta and AYC Poker Run. <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>View</strong> was well represented. And of course the<br />
highlight of the evening was attending the $1.98 Beauty Contest. Commodore Greg Snyir and his long flowing<br />
blond hair, short plaid skirt, and Zebra Bra gave him a school girlish charm with a very sexy flare!!! Our Commodore<br />
has great legs and very erotic moves on the runway!!! He should have won! Lady Judi had a front row seat at<br />
the end of the runway and has some very interesting photo's of all of the contestants. I suggested she not put<br />
them on the net because we just ran a Congressman out of office for a lot less!<br />
Welcome Aboard to our newest member Patty Slupecki #825 who was voted in on June 8, <strong>2011</strong>.<br />

Report from the Fleet Captain<br />
<strong>July</strong> is here and along with the <strong>July</strong> 4Th holiday and the BVYC first club cruise. We are going to<br />
Maumee <strong>Bay</strong> State park on the 8Th and 9Th. I'm not sure if there are any spots open but if you are interested<br />
give the park a call. The second cruise is August 26 and 27 to Cedar Point. I believe there are still<br />
some docks available for this cruise. So if interested give the dock office a call and reserve a dock. The<br />
third cruise is to Put in <strong>Bay</strong> on September the 16 and we will be at the Crews Nest for the weekend. I believe<br />
there are docks available for this trip also, give them a call if you want to go.<br />

Report from the Rear Commodore<br />
P a g e 3<br />
It’s finally “summertime and the livin’ is easy” (apologies to<br />
George Gershwin).<br />
I cannot thank Maury and Connie enough for hosting the 25 th anniversary<br />
“Margaritaville Party” Not only for this year but for every year<br />
that they have taken us away to that special place called Margaritaville.<br />
THANK YOU!<br />
The next weekend was the annual “Opening of the Port” ceremony<br />
which took place at MRYC. The event was first rate even though the parade<br />
of boats was cancelled; (due to hazardous river conditions) there<br />
was a tent party in the parking lot which gave more of an opportunity to<br />
socialize with everyone.<br />
On June 10 th , Tim Krell hosted “Beer-Fest II.” The event started slow but by the end of the<br />
evening we had quite a crowd and it looked as though everyone was having a good time.<br />
Must’ve been the beer. Thanks Tim.<br />
The next night the DATAP committee hosted the “Burning of the Lease party.” What a<br />
fantastic event and a real milestone in the history of <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>View</strong>. Congratulations and thanks to<br />
all of the DATAP people.<br />
I’m sorry I missed Commodore Greg at TSC’s “$1.98 Beauty Contest.” I was still trying to<br />
get my boat in the water. Anyway, I’ve heard that there are some pics and videos out there<br />
somewhere.<br />
