Commodore’s Comments
The folks at Harley Davidson sure know how to put on a party. But
so do we.
Our Open House Weekend was again a huge success. We had
three days of delicious food, wonderful music and plenty of fun.
And the weather was terrific, too.
Our organizers outperformed Harley’s in many ways: Food was
always available and very affordable, and we NEVER ran out of
beer!
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all the committee members,
cooks and sponsors who worked hard putting on Steak Night, Lasagna Night, Pig Roast and the “morning after” breakfast.
Barb and Mickey Nowak started the weekend out right with a
great Steak Night. Cathy Juriewicz followed up with Lasagna
Night, which was delicious. Kiki Kilman rallied all the pirates for a
spectacular Pirate Pig Roast. And Leroy Ciombor and Tom Cuirlik finished up with a tasty breakfast on Labor Day. Thanks.
Deb Brunk led the kitchen team; Joel Stojsavlevic made sure the
inside bar was running smoothly; Steve Steinhaus, Al Hock and
Steve Hock manned the pig and chicken roasters along with others; and Paul Smith and Greg Zielinski made us a lot of money
during the afternoon raffle.

Others stood out, too. Tom Schulz fabbed up some stainless steel
parts for the roasters, and Darlene Pasniak, Teri Ruggles, Dean
Schultz, Gary Westlund and John Nowicki did whatever was
needed. Klam did a remarkable job docking boats.
Thanks to everyone who helped out, whether it was serving food,
tending bar or cleaning up.
See ya at the club,

Pirate Pig Roast Recap
Aaargh! Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate, eat,
drink, and dance with us at South Milwaukee Yacht Club’s
second Annual Pirate Pig Roast on Sunday, 8/31. Serving began at 4:15pm and people were lined up out the door until after 6pm for roasted pig and chicken. Our hearty fare was
made and served by many volunteers. The warm, sunny
weekend was appreciated by all. The Pirate theme was unanimously carried over from last year with more pirate paraphernalia added to the grounds and clubhouse. Jeannie Holliday &
her Review Band played under the pavilion; a seven piece
Motown band which was enjoyed by all ages. The horn section and their “Temptations” choreography added to their
stage presence and our merriment. A pirate and wench costume contest ensued at first band break,
and rumor has it that many Aaargharitas were served throughout the evening.
I am especially grateful to the visiting yacht club members and
the Racine & Kenosha area boaters for their continued support
of this event. Many people came up to thank me throughout
the weekend, but because of the many teams involved, there
are many others to thank. This event would not have been
possible without the help of Debbie Brunk who stayed behind
the scenes with her apprentice, Teri Ruggles,
and worked as hard as
ever. The meat raffles
were a continued attraction. Paul Smith
had some big shoes to fill as our auctioneer and did a spectacular job! Thanks to my husband, Ken, for being my sounding board, Steve Steinhaus and his pig/chicken roasting crew
of Allen & Steve Hock and Jeff Mueller; Rick Klamrowski,
our harbormaster and his dockhands; Dean Schultz and crew
for grounds clean-up; and Leroy Ciombor & Tom Ciurlik for
preparing a much needed Hobo breakfast on Monday morning.
Others who helped see this event through to fruition and deserve recognition are: Mom & Dad Kilman, Kyle & Beth
Brunk, Tom Schulz, Joel Stojsavlevic, Tom Hoffa, Dawn &
Del Green, Mike Gengler, Paula & Neal Modlinski, Dona &
Mike Cieczka, Debbie Smith, Ryan Behling, Greg Zielinski
& Kathy Manna, Mike & Judy Trock, Donna Conant, Doug
Boville, Gil Bruck, Charles Sisson, all of the prep people,
servers, clean-up crew and the countless people who asked
“What do you want me to do?” I thank you all.

Juniors Report
Hello SMYC,
This month was the last month of sailing. The weather has been great. We had several tasty dishes
after sailing on Wednesday nights. We would like to thank the Rybka’s, Bruck’s/Ciurlik’s, Duwe’s,
and Daly’s for bringing the food!
The day of the race was really wavy. It was hard to sail. Two boats did not race because of the challenging conditions. The other three boats did a great job! They worked really hard. The winner of the
Doug Sleight Memorial Race will be announced at the Juniors Award Banquet.
The 50/50 raffle was a huge success! It was held during Labor Day Weekend at the Pirate Pig
Roast.
Gil Bruck was the winner of the 50/50 raffle, splitting the $1,140 with the Junior’s. Congratulations Gil Bruck! We would like to thank all who made our weekend successful and
for your support at our lunches.
This year we tye-dyed our Junior shirts. We would like to thank Sharyn Hoch for helping us with the
tye-dye and Kurt Bruck for getting the shirts. Everyone wore their shirts at the Juniors’ lunch. The
lunch was a huge success! Thank you to all the parents that helped make the lunch a success!
Thank you,
Ashley Hock
Secretary
