Harbor Hotline Fond du Lac Yacht Club 705 Mohawk Drive, PO Box 1930, Fond du Lac, WI 54936-1930 (920) 921-9950 June 2013 The Official Monthly Newsletter of the Fond du Lac Yacht Club COMMODORE’S COMMENTS: www.fdlyachtclub.com Commodore Jim Zitzelsberger (920) 688-3364 Vice Commodore Rob Ritchie (920) 924-9224 Past Commodore Randy Veeser (920) 906-9601 Secretary Christina Loehr (920) 251-6722 Treasurer Jim Meisinger (920) 922-8679 House Chair Mike Benson (920) 923-1955 Directors Steve Butzen Chris Romuald Chuck Westby Dave Whealon Membership Secretary Steven Cahee (920) 906-9601 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! Randy Veeser (920) 906-9601 p.s. If the weather this spring is any indication of things to come, perhaps we should have a rainy-day Kitchen Committee Joel Crouch (920) 923-9159 Friends of the Fox Ellen Balthazor (920) 921-7323 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.

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 correspond to the time period in which it was built ranging from 1892-1927. These houses once renovated will be open to school tours and overnight vacationers. Restoration at the Cedar Lock House, built in 1927 has begun. Each of the four lock houses are listed with the National Register of Historic Places. The FWHP are asking for construction volunteers, donations of furnishings during the period of 1892-1924 and storage space needed for accumulated furnishings.
