Updated 09/25/06 Temporary-before archive/Club News 2006 05/22-26/06 National Safe Boating Week Congrats to Leaming's Marina & LVYC members for providing safety brochures to the community and potential new boaters. These items were provided by the National Safe Boating Council and Boat US; members delighted with the many questions presented, and some offered on board instruction. 05/28/06 Opening Day/Flag Raising/Wine & Cheese Celebration Thirty six members/friends attended our annual festivities. Not the usual number in view of graduations and weddings. But it was a grand affair with a mad hatter theme, with Muriel Clark & Grand Daughter Heather winning the first and second prizes provided by new member Russ Carlson of BeneServe. Diane Lynch (mother of Heather) provided a special prize, that was won by a non-member. Congrats! Commodore Russ Mehalick, R/C Bob Powell, and especially Fleet Captain Tom Leaming did an excellent job with set-ups and coordination. Of course the GM was Rita, along with all the other gals giving instructions. The array of foods and drinks exceeded expectation. Russ acted as Chaplain for the Memorial Services.

I hope the holidays and Santa were good to you. For those members and friends that lost loved one's in '04, or were hospitalized over the holidays, our 'get well wishes', sympathy and prayers were with you. The holidays were not a bundle of joy for this writer as we lost Board member and CBYCA/Delegate Bob Gattone; and my Mother in November. I recently learned of the passing of Founding Director/Historian Carl A. Mayer on January 23, 2005. Services were private (and confidential) per Carl's request. I lost a good friend and mentor. Our condolences to Helen and Family. As we enter the '05 season, we have some nice 'tentative' affairs scheduled. Please take a moment to review the schedule, and advise your comments or suggestions. 03/21/05

thanks to Commodore Mehalick, V/C Bob Powell, Board Member Chris West, 09/04/05 - Labor Day BBQ Twenty six members attended our festivities. A low turnout, but understandable because of other family commitments. It was a great party. Rita & I, along with V/C Bob Cummings and his First Mate Nancy, normally coordinate these affairs. Rita & I were on vacation in Ocean City, MD. Russ and his crew, along with Lyle Clark (our chief chef and provider of crabs), and F/C Tom Leaming did an excellent job in making our party a memorable occasion. A special note of thanks to Bob & Nancy (that went out of their travel area) to pick up freshly picked corn. A gracious thank you to the ladies for their salads & delicious desserts. Many thanks. Words cannot express the club's appreciation. As this was our Labor Day general meeting and BBQ, with election nominations due by September 8, F/C Tom Leaming made a motion that "the current slate of Officers remain as-is". The motion was seconded and approved by all members. All Officers present agreed to serve and the members present re-elected the current Officers for the 2006-2007 term. They will be sworn in at the October Year End Dinner, to be held at the Thirsty Mallard, on October 9. Don't forget to mark your calender for Surf Fishing on October 1 with Commodore Russ in Beach Haven, LBI. 10/01/05 - Surf Fishing with Commodore It was a beautiful day on the 28th Street beach at Beach Haven, LBI. Six members and their guests enjoyed the hospitality of Russ and his friends. Although no large fish were caught, it was a beautiful Indian summer beach day with plenty of food and assorted ice cold brews. We started the day at 8 A.M. and retired at 3 P.M. Great job Russell. 10/09/05 - Year End Dinner/Installation of Officers
