YACHT TALK December 2014 Clover Island Yacht Club Kennewick, Washington From the Helm Board of Directors Commodore Larry Kuga Vice Jolene Grimes Commodore Secretary Roy Jeffrey Entertainment Dave Chojnacki Building and Jeff Lomax Grounds Docks Mark Cope Past Dan Bunn Commodore I thank the CIYC Membership for giving me the opportunity to serve and lead as your Commodore in 2015. Please join me in thanking Past-Commodore Dan Bunn and last year s entire Board of Directors and their committees for another productive year. Speaking of Past Commodores, our Club is saddened by the recent loss of two beloved PC s, Noah Rogers, 1968-69 Commodore, and Lew Abernathy, 2004 Commodore. Their memories will live on but their presence will be deeply missed. Since CIYC is where fun lives, we are already off to a great start with a new year of fun and exciting activities even if it isn t boating weather just yet. Thanks to the Chojnacki s for hosting a wonderful Thanksgiving event at the Club this year. The Children s Christmas Party was enjoyed by all and the Christmas Lighted Boat Parade had 22 boats participating for the 50 th Anniversary. Check out the parade video at www.lighted BoatParade.com. The Cruise & Entertainment planning meeting is scheduled for Saturday, January 10 at 10 am at the Club. This is a great time to bring your ideas for fun activities and join in to host or help put together these fantastic parties and cruises we enjoy each year. Come to the meeting and get involved! As I write this, I am looking forward to the Commodore s Ball, which is always a wonderful and enjoyable event, hosted this year by Dan and Kathie Bunn. Also, the New Year s Eve party is sure to be a great time, and the band we heard during Umatilla Days will knock out their blood pumping sounds to keep us moving and shaking all night long! Come down and enjoy both evenings with your all your fellow members and friends. Always Summer Larry
