Rose McEntire Communications Docks & Rentals - Governor Tom Baltzell Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year’s Eve. The Christmas party at BLYC was simply awesome (as always). We (Karen and I) are excited for the New Year’s Eve party. BLYC puts on a great “year out, new year in” party. Thank you Ginger and staff for your help in making our holiday season special! Just a couple items for Docks and Rentals: Work is progressing on the support post replacement in the covered docks. Thanks go out to Commodore Tim Ryan for managing this project. Looking back on my year as I-LYA Commodore, I know that none of it would have been possible without the support of the best Club anywhere — The Buckeye Lake Yacht Club! It was truly an honor, not only to serve I-LYA, but also to represent BLYC. This year brought much recognition to our Club throughout the region. So many members and famililes from BLYC supported our efforts this year — through fundraisers, support at the meetings and regattas, and SO much more! The list is too great to thank everyone here, but to all of you - THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I would especially like to thank the BLYC Commodores’ Association and the BLYC Auxiliary for their generous support and the Davis family — Tracey, Matt, Michael, and Matthew — for their time and tireless efforts in helping to make the year GREAT! P/C Steve Harris, I-LYA 2014 Billing for docks, garages, and storage will be arriving soon. If you desire to make changes, please do not hesitate to contact Rebecca at the Club, or me by e-mail at [email protected] or by text at 740.739.2706 Finally, if you need a dock for 2015, please contact me. That’s a wrap for this month... See you at our CLUB! Working together for a common purpose results in a better BLYC Tom Baltzell Docks & Rentals Bar & Kitchen - Vice Commodore David Luttenberger Greetings! It may be cold outside, but inside we have major events planned for January designed to excite your appetite and warm the cockles of your heart. We a have special menu planned for the Parrot Head Party on January 10. Put on your best Buffett outfit, come on in, and get your “Cheeseburger in Paradise.” We also have a special menu for Wine Night on the 17th, and wonderful comfort food menus for the Speaker Series every Thursday, January through March. You don’t want to miss these wonderful speeches, or the Blue Plate Specials that go with them. Come on down, tease your brain, and tickle your fancy... all at the same time. I want to send a special thanks out to all those that donated to the Josh Daniels Recovery Fund. I can assure you that Josh, his wife, and his two beautiful children thank you too. I want to also give special thanks to Ginger for overseeing the fundraising effort and the Auxiliary for their contributions. Also, a special Thank You goes out to Cat & Howard for providing the entertainment for last month’s fundraiser. If you haven’t donated yet, or if you would like to donate more, we will continue to accept contributions until Josh can come back to work. Make your checks out to Josh Daniels and please give them to Rebecca during the day, or Ginger Deuley in the evening. ‘Tis the season! Reminder: Come in and take advantage of our Happy Hour drink specials, Wednesday through Friday from 4-7 pm. We will be offering specials on beer, wine and well drinks. There will also be a special of the day. Got a thirst? Belly up to the bar at the BLYC! Please remember to call ahead to make reservations so we can be fully prepared to meet your needs. We’re here for you, our members, at your home away from home, the BLYC. House & Grounds - Rear Commodore Dave Lawrence Happy New Year, 2015! It seems hard to believe that ‘14 is no more. With Thanksgiving so late in November, the holidays were on us so quickly that many felt they needed another week to prepare. I hope that all of you had a wonderful holiday season with friends and family. The Club was nicely decorated and festive looking. Ginger and crew had the inside looking wonderful and we put an emphasis on the outside this year as well. Thanks to Chuck and Trent, our maintenance guys, for helping me the Saturday before the Christmas party. As mentioned in the December Log, we have plans to continue with needed improvements at the Club. Our standing practice is that any expenditure over $500 must have three bids before submitting to the Trustees for approval. I invite all members who have businesses that deal in improvements—i.e. plumbing, electrical, landscaping, painting, flooring, refrigeration, etc.—to submit your name and specialty to me so that I can contact you if you are interested in bidding on any of the many projects that we hope to complete or may be of the emergency type. You are not expected to give us the lowest bid because you are a member and we are not expected to give you the job just because you are a member. The open bidding process helps to insure that the Club is getting a fair price. Although, if things work out, we would prefer to give the work to a member. Again, if you are interested in bidding on Club projects, I am assembling a resource file of businesses to bid on whatever projects or problems that occur, so notify me at the Club or online, ([email protected]) or call (cell phone: 614.975.1820) Well, that’s all for this issue and I will close with a Fun Fact... Some early drawing designs for the Club included a We’re here to serve! “lighthouse” rising some twenty or so feet above the Club David Luttenberger where the present cupola sits now. Bar & Kitchen I would also like to congratulate P/C Steve Harris on an excellent year as Commodore of I-LYA. See you at the Club! Dave Lawrence House & Grounds Race & Regatta A Worldwide Celebration of Sailing - Governor Chuck Gleich Not being able to be on the lake for the next few months gives us time to dream. The next best thing is being at the Club watching a sunset, enjoying a drink , food, and talking about sailing and boating. I look forward seeing you soon. Get ready for the Summer SAILstice! More information coming soon... Lets get on board! Chuck Gleich Race & Regatta BLYC Auxiliary “... and to all a good night.” The grand finale of the Auxiliary’s 2014 year was a shining star. Kimberly of Kimberly’s Creative Canvas brought out the artist in all of us. Thank you Kim! The food and staff were great, as usual. Look for pictures on the BLYC website. We also added two new members at the December meeting! A big welcome to Cindy Lape and Steve Harris! Many thanks to all of the particpants in the 50/50 raffle for Josh Daniels at the Beat Michigan Party. Mark Severance won and donated his winnings back to help Josh and his family. Our booze basket fundraiser was also a huge success! All of the proceeds went to the Josh Daniels Recovery Fund. Bruce Ames was the winner. He is certainly going to have lots of visitors this winter! We have so many caring and generous folks at our Club — guests as well as members pitched in. Bless You! The BLYC Auxiliary Children’s Christmas Party was fun for all. We are so happy that Santa was able to come and visit. A huge thanks to our Head Elf, Nancy Ball, for all the organizing and shopping for Santa. “Elf Junior,” Stacy Baumgardner, was also a hit with kids and parents alike. Our Santa hats go off to Gail and Jay Beck for photographing the entire event. We will not be meeting in January or February, but we have a special meeting planned for March 12th to kick off the upcoming summer season and work on the August fundraiser. If you have any ideas for the Auxiliary, please email our President, Cherie VanDyne, at [email protected] Happy New Year! See you at the Club! Linda Masone Secretary Junior Training - Governor Michael McVey Imagine crossing the walkway bridge to Watkins Island, Buckeye Lake Yacht Club, with your family, friends, or business associates. As you step onto the island, there in front of you is a brick pathway with engravings. The engravings record, celebrate and honor current and past members of BLYC, including members of your family. The engravings can include: • Names, Dates, Commemorations — • A special anniversary, a sailing championship, remember a loved one • Positions on the Board of Governors or the BLYC Auxiliary • Your boat name, your business, etc. • Other Ideas? The possibilities are endless! There will be two sizes of bricks: • 4 x 8 (32 square inches) $120 • 12 x 12 (144 square inches) $450 This pathway will be a part of BLYC for many, many, many years to come! Be a part of BLYC history and help support Junior Sailing at the same time! Friday Specials Come join us every Friday! Slow Roasted Prime Rib au jus Fish & Chips Please contact Michael McVey, Tom Greiner, Steve Harris, Tracey Davis, or Tami Schroeder to order yours and ask questions. Vic Schroeder has very graciously volunteered his time to construct the pathway—Thanks Vic! BLYC is a yacht club because of the many boating activities, of which Junior sailing camp and racing is a vital part. Without boating, we would simply be the “Buckeye Lake Club.” “Mac” McVey Junior Training 2015 Board of Governors Commodore Chuck Wadley Vice Commodore David Luttenberger Bar & Kitchen Rear Commodore Dave Lawrence House & Grounds Governor Tom Baltzell Docks & Rentals Governor Chuck Gleich New Year’s Day Thursday, January 1 CLUB CLOSED Dinner/Dance The Lakeside Trio Saturday, January 3 Parrot Head Party Race & Regatta DJ Randy Cobun Saturday, January 10 Governor Rose McEntire Speakers Series Communications Governor Michael McVey Junior Training Governor Kara Mulvey Membership Governor Mark Severance Entertainment Board of Trustees Commodore Don Harris Commodore Rick Henderson Commodore Steve Harris Commodore Gayle Fisher-Mulvey Commodore Tim Ryan Auxiliary Officers President Cherie VanDyne Vice President Dianne Ryan Vice President Sue Wadley Secretary Linda Masone Treasurer Gail Beck The New Cold War Jerry Besanceney Thursday, January 15 Wine Night Mark Williams Saturday, January 17 Speakers Series Natural Law Human Rights from Aquinas to Jefferson Dr. Tony Lisska Thursday, January 22 Dinner/Dance Jamie Whetstone Saturday, January 24 Speakers Series Antique Boat Restoration Matt Zimmerman Thursday, January 29 Jazz Night Jazz Gallery Project Saturday, January 31 Standing Committees Commodores Association Commodore Don Harris I-LYA Delegate Alternate Matt Davis Commodore Don Harris Blue Gavel Tony Durieux Fleet Captain - Sail Fleet Captain - Power Commodore Don Harris Commodore Joe Campbell Fleet Surgeon Dr. John Vangilder Fleet Chaplain Father Michael Gribble Parliamentarian Rufus Hurst Historian Commodore Steve Harris Insurance Committee Classic Boat Regatta TBD Commodore Chuck Wadley Snowball Regatta Annual Golf Outing Bob Dye Memorial Poker Run Commodores’ Steak Nite Commodore Steve Harris Paul Sanzone Paul Sanzone Commodore Greg Miller Good Neighbor Committee Commodore Joe Campbell Buckeye Lake Yacht Club (740) 929-9941 www.buckeyelakeyc.com Classic Car Show Mike Fornataro Howard & Rosa Clark Scholarship Fund Commodore Greg Miller Evan Miller Summer Sailstice Commodore Steve Harris Commodore Tim Ryan Like Us on Facebook facebook.com/BuckeyeLakeYachtClub Follow@buckeyelakeyc Us on Twitter
