Friends and Finance
I have a friend who, for the sake of discussion, we will call Ev. Ev is in his mid 80’s now and has
solidified his views on a number of things that may be germane to our Club. You might say he has
simplified some of his thinking over the years, but, simple or not, I believe he has some points worth
considering. For example, Ev has a sure-fire formula for making money: Buy low, sell high, and do
it in volume. Simple, instructive and precise.
Ev is an outdoor’s man and has been all his life. He has flown airplanes, raced boats, been a
commercial fisherman and general entrepreneur. He has made money, spent money and knows the
difference. He seems to have that prophetic insight that allows some people to see opportunities and
move forward when others balk. It’s certainly not revelation, but more of a clear understanding and
assessment of what one is looking at. To that point, Ev will simply tell you that: You cannot get
peaches off an oak.
I have never worked for Ev and it is likely that I never will, but I do recognize a few people who have
and they all seem to have profited from the experience. Again, clearly stated and fundamentally
forthright, Ev’s work-incentive program says: If you work hard, you get to keep your job. It has a
certain ring to it, a kind of panache like elegant penmanship on a paycheck, a final flourish on an
endorsement or John Hancock’s signature on the Declaration of Independence.
Independence, that is at least part of what we seek at the Fond du Lac Yacht Club. We wish to be
free to follow the wind, ride the waves and toast another beautiful day. Of course, as Ev might say,
There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch and the squeeze is on. If you have bought a gallon of gas
in the past few days, you know where I am going with this. While we have had a fairly good first third
of the year, the trend over the past couple years has been for the cost of goods sold across our bar
to increase which decreases the profit and pinches the budget. The admonition to buy low, sell
high and do it in volume does not work very well for us. First of all, it has been said that boaters are
notoriously cheap—strike one. Second, our volume is generally limited to our membership and
guests with certain impediments to rapid expansion—strike two. And three, the cost of goods and
services keep rising.
There are no plums to be plundered, peaches to be plucked or oaks to be felled to fill the coffers.
Money does not fall from trees unless we are lumber barons and most of us are not. What we are is
Sunshine
a club and that means it is up to us to support it. We need to frequent the facility; lend ourselves to
Ann Lallier
the camaraderie; spend time, money and effort to keep the wheels of club commerce turning. There
(920) 921-5087
are only two ways to beat the budget: one is to raise prices while the other is to increase the volume
of sales. Happy Hours, Rock-the-Docks and leisurely evenings on the deck will all contribute to the
Harbor Hotline/Webmaster cause this summer. I hope you will too!

fund too and this might be a good time to be looking at that kind of financial independence. Of
course, that may only be accomplished with your support. I hope you will give it some serious
consideration as we move forward.

Area Events & Boating Information for 2013
From all communities connected to Lake Winnebago Waterways
Enclosed information provided by: Diane at Menasha Marina, menashamarina@aol.com 967-5193
The following boating information has gone to 28 boating group memberships via e-mail on our waterways. Soon I
will be on Facebook at Menasha Marina and Gift Shop. My goal is to promote boating on Lake Winnebago and its
connecting waterways. I hope I have helped make your summer enjoyable with useful information. You’re always
welcomed to stop and visit and have some boat talk on deck and browse through the unique gift shop.
Have a Safe and Fun-Filled Summer
Diane, Your Harbormaster
Fox River Navigation System Authority, Friends of the Fox, Fox-Wisconsin Heritage Parkway
The Fox River Navigation System Authority are at mid-point in the process of returning the locks operational and are
taking the necessary steps in securing the future of the former lock keepers’ residence. Presently work is in progress at
the Kaukauna Locks. The Aquatic Invasive Species barrier at Rapide Croche are making great progress in their
planning stages along with a plan for AIS training center, open to the public. The Fox-Wisconsin Heritage Parkway is
rehabilitating four lock houses, which were once occupied more than 25 years ago. Each house will be renovated to

If you are not receiving emails from the Fond du Lac Yacht Club, please email
the webmaster with your correct email address at
webmaster@fdlyachtclub.com. You can also check your current listings in
the Members Section of our website to see the information we have listed.
Hosting a Large Outdoor Event?
With the addition of the new readers on the
bathroom doors, you will need to request a
code for the outside bathroom doors. This
should only need to be done in a few
instances but should be considered for
regattas and other events.
Have You Expired?
Obviously, we do not mean you “personally”.
Rather, we are speaking about your bar
tenders licenses.
The FDLYC will reimburse you if you take a
class and get a bar tenders license. You can
take the class at Moraine Park Technical
College or online. There are three places
online to take the course. They are:
http://www.wisconsinbartenderlicense.com
http://www.sellerserver.com
http://servingalcohol.com
Just take the class, get the paperwork filled
out with the City of Fond du Lac, and submit
the receipts to the treasurer for the club to
reimburse you for your expenses.
Wireless Internet in Marina
The FDLYC will continue to offer free Wi-Fi in
the yacht club building. However, the City of
Fond du Lac is in the process of adding Free
Wireless Internet in the entire marina with
future expansion to Lakeside Park. We are
just now getting information from here and
there but the towers/radios are installed and
broadcasting. Check it out. :-)
