Message from Commodore Stephanie Gaff
I want
to thank every one who came out on February 14th and spent Valentine's
Day with us. It was a very good Stockholder's meeting, Slip Assignment,
and Member's Appreciation Dinner. I want to thank everyone who made the
day such a success.
It's
great to see something going on at the Club almost every weekend. Our
members have been having a great time enjoying the bar, pool table, and
shuffleboard.
Our
first event of the year is a Half-Event happening on Saturday, March 13.
It is a St. Patrick's Dinner & Party. Capacity is limited, so get
your reservations in early. Remember, everyone is Irish on St. Patty's
Day! All members are required to do 2 Events per membership each year.
This event is a mini-event and will count as a 1/2 credit.
Plans
are already starting for our Opening Weekend which is planned for June
4-6. This will be a 3-day event weekend and hope to see our members
coming out for the Official Opening to the 2021 Boating Season. In the
coming weeks, you will see the sign-up sheets posted on the bulletin
board. For those of you who are new members, remember every member is
required to put in at least 4 hours during Opening Weekend.
We are
also starting to plan for CCC's Weekend early this year. PC Jerry Selig
will be the incoming Commodore for 2022 and as a Club we have some
obligations for the weekend. It would be great to see as many of our
members as possible to sign up to attend the Ball at the Princess Royale
in Ocean City MD in January 2022.
We will
need as much help as possible for Opening Weekend and CCC's Weekend. If
you cannot make any of the scheduled planning meetings but would like to
help out, please reach out to me and can let you know what we will need
help with.
Lastly, if you are interested to hosting a Mini-Event or Full Event, please speak with Board and Kitchen Chair.

Message from Vice Com Wayne Orem
COVID COVID COVID. Please wear a mask while
in the club for the safety of others and the good of the club. We are
coming down the home stretch and I wish to see everyone healthy at the
other end I realize this is sounding like a broken record but most or
you are taking zero precautions. If you feel that COVID is not a real
treat that is fine but please be respectful of the club members, myself
included who are taking precautions and following the Maryland
guildelines. I've had many older members approach me with their
concerns. Please be a respectful club member and follow the rules. Work
parties will be starting up soon. Please keep an eye out for a list of
projects to be posted on the bulletin board as please bring me any
suggestions of projects you would wish to see done.Let's all work together to make 2021 a great year at the REYC.
Best regards.
VC Wayne Orem

Message from Rear Com Scarlett Corso
Greetings all:
With that pop of warm weather into the 50's this week, we've
reached the beginning of the end of winter and I can almost hear boats
splashing into the water now. The end cap project is nearly finished the
construction phase, at which point we will move onto
installation on the piers. Please ensure to be safe walking on
the piers in inclement weather, as they are not typically shoveled for
ice/snow, when you are checking on your boats. It has been great seeing
so many faces at the club on the weekends! Stay safe.
|
|
Message from Fleet Capt Jerry Selig
Spring is just around the corner and before you know it the
piers will be bustling with activity as members prepare for the upcoming
boating season. As you begin to utilize the piers please check your
surroundings to make sure Mother Nature did not have an adverse effect
on the integrity of your finger piers. Let's start the season off safely
and hopefully keep it that way.
As many of you probably know by now, I am slated to be the
Commodore of the Chesapeake Commodores Club in 2022. The ceremony will
take place at the CCC annual ball at the Princess Royale Hotel in Ocean
City. This has been a long rewarding journey for me and it would be my
honor if as many of you as possible could join in the celebration that
weekend with me. This past Saturday, Commodore Stephanie conducted an
early planning meeting to discuss possible weekend room themes. In
addition we discussed having at least two small "dinner" fundraisers in
the future to help offset the cost of the Thursday night party in Ocean
City where as incoming Commodore I will have to provide food and drink
for a few hundred people. I hope many of you will be able to attend
those events. I will ask Secretary Cheryl to attach the flyer for the
CCC ball in this edition of our newsletter that details the cost and
payment options for members. Erni Heiser will be the club CCC contact
and will be happy to take your reservations. I greatly appreciate
everyone's support.

Message from Princess Katie Gaff
Finally
back into the swing of things. I was lucky enough to attend Crescent
Yacht Club's Ball recently and finally see some of the other Princesses
from around the Bay.
With
warmer weather, my charity The Maryland Waterways Foundation is starting
to get back into planning local cleanups for our Communities and
Waterways.
If anyone follows me on Facebook, I have been posting some of the upcoming events. More events are being added daily.
I am
currently working with the Baltimore Sea Scouts and United States Coast
Guard Auxiliary to plan a Boater's Safety class. I am hoping to get the
Princesses, yacht club youth, and anyone else who needs to get certified
to enroll in the class. We are currently working out dates and times
for classes. As soon as I have everything in order, I will have a flyer
out for registration.
|
When the Complete
arrives, my incompletes will be cancelled. I don't yet see things
clearly. I'm squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be
long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! I'll see it
all then, see it all as clearly as God sees me, knowing him directly
just as he knows me! But for right now, until that completeness, I have
three things to do to lead me toward that consummation: Trust steadily
in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly, and the best of all three
is Love. (1 Corinthians 13: 10, 12-13)
Heavenly Father,
Continue to watch
over us, keep us safe in the palm of your hand. Please Bless us all and
especially those who are struggling in these times.
Amen,
Chaplain,
Stephen Culhane
