The Yacht Club will still have the best
view and sunsets on the lake - come on
out and enjoy the club and view with
your friends! The Board is working very
hard to come up with new, fun events to
have at the club this summer since we
will not be able to boat as easily. If you
are not already signed up to receive our
weekly email news blast – now would
be a great time to do so. The weekly
email will list everything that is going
on at the club for that week and the near
future! The pool will be ready and warm
this summer with lots of fun activities
planned – including water aerobics on
Thursday evenings in June, from 5:45 to
6:30! Watch for additional information
on this! If you have ideas or suggestions
for the club, please let us know!
We would normally be getting our boats
ready to put in the water this time of
year. But, due to the recent developments concerning the dam and lower
than normal lake level, we are trying to
figure out how we might be able to boat
on Buckeye Lake. Certainly, boating
will be limited and dock access will be a
challenge. Be assured that the Buckeye
Lake Yacht Club is open. We are getting
ready for the summer season with
expanded summer hours; the pool &
pool bar; the great line up of entertainment; and other scheduled events.
See you at the pool soon!!!!
The Yacht Club will be the premier place
Rose McEntire
Communications Governor
to be this spring and summer. Be sure
to take advantage of all the benefits that
your Yacht Club has to offer.
The Board of Governors is working hard
to continue the Yacht Club traditions
and to provide the membership with a
great experience at the BLYC.
Entertainment
- Governor Mark Severance

COMMITTEE REPORTS
House & Grounds
- Rear Commodore Dave Lawrence
I always look at the month of May as “the Threshold of
Summer”. We will be planting our summer veggies and
flowers, sharpening the mower blade on the mower, and
readying the pool. And just like at home, many of these
same things we will be doing at the Club. In order for
everything to look its best, it takes time and effort. As many
of you know, Donna Parker, who has made the Club look
beautiful for many summers, has stepped down from that
role, leaving me to head up this effort. Donna has assured
me that she will be of assistance but doesn’t want to do the
whole thing. I have some experience with plants as I worked
at The Ohio State University greenhouses for two years as
a student. However, I don’t claim to know everything and
even if I did, I can’t do it all by myself. It takes a great effort
in order to have beautiful plants. I would like to have a
meeting on May 13, (7:00 pm @ the Club) for those who
would be interested in becoming a part of a group who
will oversee the flower and plants. Duties would include
planting, pruning, deadheading, fertilizing and watering. If
you can help with any of these and would like to be on the
committee let me know at: [email protected] or
call me on my cell - (614)-975-1820.
We are progressing with the pool with a goal of opening the
pool on Memorial Day weekend. One project that required
attention is finished. Where the pool had leaked in previous
years, it washed out the soil under the sidewalk and needed
backfill. I would like to thank those members who hauled
limestone over the bridge and to the pool for several hours
on a Saturday: Gov. Chuck Gleich, who was also our
“expert” and spent additional time; Gov. Mark Severance,
who also did some pruning; Scott Evans and his lovely
daughter Helena; and Bob Snow. In addition, I would like to
express my appreciation to architect, and new member, Fred
Schwab for providing technical advice. Also, a tip of my
Commodore’s hat to Kathy Severance, who helped shovel
the remaining stone down the ramp, Wes Cartwright who
showed up to help the week before and the stone never did,
and to Trent, one of our maintenance guys.

JUnior Training
- Governor Michael McVey
Hello to All...
Sailing season is upon us...YEAH!
Unfortunately, ODNR water level have created some
obstacles for boating. Fortunately, I have been working with
Alum Creek, Hoover and the I-LYA Jr. Sailing Council.
The first adjustment is that Buckeye Lake Jr. Sailing and
ACSA (Alum Creek) are co-hosting the May 30th Traveler
Series Regatta at Alum Creek! This is a great opportunity for
BLYC to shine.
“Stuff Happens” in life and those who do best are those who
adjust and make the most of it. So...we need volunteers. Give
either myself or Steve Harris a call, text, or email to be part
of this challenge and show others “how it’s done!”
There will most likely be some other adjustments - such as to
camps... Stand by. To learn more, please check out my
communications on BLYC’s website. On the top of our
Home Page is a “Juniors” tab; click it and then click “Latest
News” and you’ll find my “latest” communications!
Thanks for being there to support the Jr’s and their families,
your peer members!Come out and support your BLYC.
“Mac” McVey
Junior Training Governor
The Dock Governor and BLYC business office shall work
together to insure this policy is correctly followed. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Finally, if you are storing something in our Eastport Storage
Yard, it’s imperative that you are in your correct numbered spot.
I’m receiving many requests for storage spots, at times I assign a
spot only to find someone in the “unassigned” numbered spot.
Please tag your property with a name and again, insure you are
in your assigned numbered spot.
My friends, I do believe this is a wrap. If you need anything, call
me at 740.739.2706 or e-mail [email protected].
Working together for a common purpose
results in a better BLYC

What a great time! Who knew that crab racing would be so
much fun? We sold out of the little buggers (they were so
cute!) Thank you Terry “The Crab Man” Murnane! A big
thank you to the staff. The munchies were perfect and the
service was great. The winner of the final heat and prize
money was Sally Voyles. Congrats!
Welcome to our newest Auxiliary members - Sandra Hurst
and Tracy Vaccani.
Our next meeting is Sunday, May 3rd at 2:00 pm, during
the BLYC Semi-Annual Meeting. We will be sipping
margaritas on the porch, planning our future meetings,
and hopefully enjoying abundant sunshine. We are putting
together a booze basket to raffle off this summer. Please
bring a “summer type” bottle of liquor or refreshing mixer
to add to the fun. While you’re at it, grab one of those
items you just don’t know where to put around the house
anymore for the August auction. We are starting to gather
items from ALL BLYC members early this year. We are
planning a great event!
