We held our first Board meeting for the 2016 and it was most eventful. Our Treasurer, Steve Jones, has accepted a position in Afghanistan and will be leaving his position as of Steve will be out of the country for 18 months. We will miss his financial expertise and look forward to his return. Joey O'Neill was approved by the Board to fill Steve s post for Joey has held the position previously. Steve Payne, a 2016 Board candidate, was approved to fill the vacant Board seat. We have the Redneck Regatta coming up on the 31st. Fleet Captain Mike Odom reports that 30 boat kits have been purchased, but several are still available. Mike will have classes for kids, women and an overall winner. Decorate your kits and race for the finish line. My goals for the year is to keep the members happy, increase membership, have fun events and stay financially sound. Ute Knowlton has agreed to bring back Oktoberfest this year. I understand it is a good time for all. Thank Ute and offer to assist. Let me know if you have other events you like to see at the.

See ya round the, Kathy BILL HARGREAVES FISHING RODEO As most of you know, the 45th annual Bill Hargreaves Fishing Rodeo in 2015 was a BIG success for the. We had countless juniors with big smiles on their faces when they weighed in their catch at the scales during the weekend. One of the key reasons that led to this success was the great Executive Committee who worked hard to put together the resources and planning to make the tournament work. And certainly, we cannot forget those great volunteers who come out and work the weekend for us during the event. As we begin the New Year it is time to organize the committee for the 2016 tournament to be held June This will be the 46th Anniversary year for us and we need to make the event the best we have ever had. We need members to volunteer for the committee to help get the advertisers and sponsors on board to support us again in If you wish to place an ad or sponsor a fish, contact me or Mary Ann Hunt. If you can serve on the committee and/or help with getting advertisers/sponsors please provide me with your address and phone number prior to the next meeting date. You may reach me at chuck.pi@cox.net or phone number I ll be sending out an after the meeting date is set. CHUCK HASKELL, Chairman 3

Winter is here, and that means a few rough days. Please take a few minutes to check your lines and hardware, as there have already been a few rough days.

4 Winter is here, and that means a few rough days. Please take a few minutes to check your lines and hardware, as there have already been a few rough days. We will have another work day coming up this spring to get the ready for boating season. Be on the lookout for the sign-up sheet. Speaking of boating season, it s right around the corner, and now is the time to get that yearly maintenance done. If you have a boat in either a dry or wet slip, you will need to update your information (slip agreement, proof of insurance, signed copy of dock rules) with Mary Ann. Speaking of slips, we are full on the east side wet slips, and full on dry slips. There are still a few wet slips on the west side. If you would like a slip, please sign the waiting list on the bulletin board in the hall way. Available slips will be first come, first served from the list.

2/2016 Communication from the Fleet Captain : Hello sail, motor, rowing, and land locked sailors, I have been promoted to Fleet Captain for 2016.

5 2/2016 Communication from the Fleet Captain : Hello sail, motor, rowing, and land locked sailors, I have been promoted to Fleet Captain for As we start into the new year there are a few programs being formulated. I am doing my part to bring a compelling and fun program to the table and as such I expect you to attend and participate in planned activities. If you have a suggestion for future topics or have skills that can be shared with the community please let me know.!***lecture series*** February: Suddenly in Charge. It is important to understand your role on a vessel should you become the person dealing with an unplanned promotion to captain due to unforeseen circumstances. How do you manage first aid? How do you call for help? How do you get the boat ashore? How do you decide the priorities of action? This lecture on Thursday will include some practical experience. March: Fishing tips and techniques or Spring Maintenance Review. ***GLYC Sailing Team*** The 2016 sailing team is forming. We have some interested sailors who want to learn how to sail and are taking this opportunity to be on the ground floor as we build a new sailing team. We are in need of some Junior Sailors (ages 8-21) to form the junior sailing side of the team and some experienced sailors to help teach. Please contact Fleet Captain Mike Odom at for more information. * * * Red, Red, Red, Red, Redneck Regatta! * * * The Redneck Regatta boat kits are now here! If you ordered one, you may pick it up in the office. If you can t remember if you paid or not, then you didn t! We have a few extras, so it s not too late to get one and enter the race. Only $10 will get you a boat and all the fun you can stand. NOTE: The number you need to put on your boat s sail is the order in which you registered. The list is on the bulletin board next to the s back doors. The race course will be set up in the clubhouse and available for shake-down cruises, Saturday, January 30, from 3:00 p.m. to closing. Come out and join the fun as the entrants test out the sea-worthiness of their crafts. The official races start at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 31. If you decide you want to get in on the fun but don t have a boat, you can still enter, or sponsor an entry, for only $10 if you can sweet talk one of the boat captains into the loan of his or her vessel. Good luck, and happy sailing! May the biggest Blow-Hard win! 5
