Commodore’s Comments
All boats should be in by the time you
read this. The harbor with boats is an
awesome sight. As Commodore, ones
perspective changes slightly. You come
to appreciate that we really have stewardship of an amazing yacht club. That
our facility sprang from a spot on the
shoreline, an idea and vision to what we
have today and it is still growing. I am
always amazed that our members step
up when things need to be done. We
are truly an island in a sea of madness,
that people with different backgrounds
but with a common interest, boating,
come together and enjoy each other’s
friendship and make the club a happening place.

This past Memorial Day weekend was the return of the ever popular Wii
Bowling Tournament. The participants had a great time. The winners
were Mike Ciezcka, Tom Hoffa, Jennifer Groth and Mitzi Cozad. Mitzi
could not have bowled any better if she had known what she was doing!
Thanks to Mary and Tony Karwacki for sponsoring the event. If you
missed it don’t miss the next one, you’ll be sorry.
The activity that you see around the club is that we are replacing some of
the concrete slabs along the north and east walls. Thanks to Randy
Kempowski and the ad hoc Harbor and Docks crew for their work.
I forgot last month to mention a couple of members who stepped up and
helped out. Jeff Mueller who was part of the travel lift crew and Katie
Steinhaus who helped out with both the raffles at the Easter Party
and the 50/50 raffle at the SMYC brunch back in May.
There will be more activities in the coming months. Check the High Tide
for events. Come down to the club to take advantage of the camaraderie
and if you have an idea for an event, such as a fish boil, movie night or
what ever, please let Cheryl Rybka know so she can put it on the schedule.
See you at the club and happy boating.

2014 Wii Bowling Tournament Recap
An enthusiastic crowd turned out for the Wii Bowling Tourney held May 24th. Congratulations to the winning
team of Mitzi Cozad, Mike Cieczka, Jennifer Groth (the ringer) and Tom Hoffa. Taking second place by a
measly 6 pins was the Klams (randomly teamed) along with Chris Rogers. Double-winner for the night, Tom
Hoffa also took home the fifty-fifty prize! A big Thank You to everyone who helped with the set-up, cleanup and equipment use! Special thanks to Dona Cieczka; the only one who can make the Hall look like a
bowling alley!
Congratulations Krissy and Jarod!
