I hope to see each of you at the monthly Membership Meetings, starting 17 Sep at KIYC and then the third Wednesday of each following month where we can hear from John and Dick as well as others who will share their exciting summer adventures, and where we can enjoy together the KIYC food and drink. It is not too early to think about your 2015 Bridge Officers and elected Committee Members. In addition to your Bridge offices we will be electing an At Large Member to the Executive Committee and a member of each of the Auditing, Nominating, and Rules Committees. Please send your recommendations for elected positions to our Nominating Committee. 3 KNSPS TIDELINES Sep/Oct 2014 Volume 22, No. 9-10 Administrative Department ...Lt/C Kathy Burke, P Summer is about over and I hope everyone had a great one! Saturday, 12 July was our Culinary Rendezvous. We were originally to have met at the Miles River Yacht Club in St Michaels, however, if you can believe it, we had too many people so it was changed to St. Michaels Steak & Crab House. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the delicious food! Our Membership meetings start back up this month. They are scheduled for the 3rd Wednesday of each month at the Kent Island Yacht Club (KIYC), Social Hour is 1800 – 1900, a short business meeting 1900– 1915, a Buffet dinner and then a guest speaker. Cost is $15.95 per person. This month our guest speakers are Helen Wood and Dan Wroe. They are Flight Instructors at Chesapeake Sport Pilots, LLC and will be speaking on Seaplanes. It should be a very interesting presentation. Please contact me, Kathy Burke at [email protected] or 410-279-0818 by Sunday 14 September so you can be added to the count for meals. On 15 October, our speaker will be Sandi Wiscott, Director of Operations, Queen Anne’s County Emergency Food Pantry.

On 2 Aug P/C Carl Larsen and his wife Tulinda had the renaming ceremony for their boat which now is named ‘Skylark’. They then beautifully assisted their daughter Jenny into the next phase of her life when she married on Saturday, 9 Aug at the Cambridge Marriott. Carl and Tulinda departed from KIYC on their newly christened boat loaded with wedding provisions. And not only do the Larsens have a new son-in-law, they have their first grandchild, a new granddaughter named Naomi Larsen born to their son and daughter-in-law in July. Congratulations on all fronts. P/D/C Marty and P/C Sari Lafferty are thrilled at the arrival of their new granddaughter, Ada Carina Lafferty, born to their son David and daughter-in-law Emily. Congratulations to the new Grandparents! Sadly, we said Good Bye to Lt/C Vincent Butler, S on 28 July 2014. Vince served as the 2014 Executive Officer until his health prevented him from continuing his duties. Vince was a graduate of Georgetown Preparatory School in Rockville, MD; attended college at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis and Loyola College in Baltimore. He went on to obtain his law degree at University of Baltimore Law School. Vince and his wife Andrea have been active participants in our Squadron. Vince is survived by his wife, Andrea, sons Patrick, James and John, daughter Erin Marie, three step children, two step grandchildren , three brothers and seven sisters. Vince was a true gentleman. We will all miss him.
