3 C o m m o d o r e s R e p o r t It s hard to believe that summer is already here! We had some good weather and great events at the Club in May. Leslie and I have really enjoyed coming in from the water and joining friends at the Anchor Bar. I continue to hear very positive feedback from the members about the improvements to the Club, and we ve seen a surge in Club usage over the past month. I m confident this will only continue and grow as we enter our peak summer season. With the kids out of school for the summer, treat yourself to a night out at the Club. In addition to our regular dinner service on Wednesday and Friday, we ll be serving food downstairs every day of the week from 11:00 am to 8:30 pm through Labor Day. Skip the trip to the grocery store and the troubles of cooking and come try out our new menu, have a swim, and enjoy the sunset. Remember that swim team and sailing season mean that we ll be hosting visitors from time to time. Please make sure that your vehicles have a current GYC sticker. I look forward to seeing you at the Club!

Every year when school lets out and we get in to the bulk of the summer I mention SAFETY. It is very important for all members to take caution, drive slowly when entering and exiting the property. We have several families with small children running around enjoying the pool, beach, boating, and activities at the club. It only takes a split second for an unforeseen accident to happen. Also, no kids are allowed to climb on the rocks by the beach. There are very sharp objects that could potentially cause harm to the child. No running on the dock & piers and no swimming allowed in the boat harbor. Last but not least, when dining in the clubhouse remind your children no running is allowed and you must have a shirt and shoes on. The new Anchor Bar is rocking and rolling. We have set record sales for the month of May. Member services and usage are a huge factor of a successful club operation. We have recently completed numerous projects and upgrades to our facility. One item that has been discussed in detail is building a Splash Pad for the children. We believe this would be a GREAT addition to the club and set us apart from all others. We have surveyed 2018 Pool & Deck Party Policy The Anchor Bar is Open 7 days a week from 11:00am to 8:30pm. You must purchase food and beverage from the Club, no food or beverages are allowed to be brought in. You may order from the Anchor Bar Menu, Catering Menu or we have pizzas (cheese, pepperoni or sausage) available for $7.00 each. You may bring in your cake for birthday parties. The Deck Fee is $50.00 and Lifeguard Fee is $80.00 per guard for GYC Members. several members about this idea and have received an overwhelming positive result. Being in club management for 30 years, I have witnessed the most success at clubs comes from continuous Member Support. Let s face it, this is your Home Away from Home. To date, we have had a few very generous members offer to donate to the cost of the project. We have collectively been promised at least half of the $30,000 plus project cost. If you are interested in donating to this project or have questions please contact me at your convenience. Thank you in advance for your continued support in helping us reach our targeted goal of being the elite Yacht Club on the Gulf Coast. If you are or know someone hosting a private event this year and are in search for a venue please, have them contact our professional staff. The club offers a first class facility with quality product, top notch service and plenty of parking for large events on our 3rd floor. We also do catering trays and boating food to-go for your convenience. Our GYC famous Seafood Gumbo is a great item to take to any outside event. If interested in ordering contact the office at , ext 306. See you at the Club, Steve Chatelain General Manager Breakfast served every Saturday 8am to 11am Best Biscuit Sandwich in Town!!

5 L a d i e s A u x i l i a r y R e p o r t With summer s long days being here, this is the best time to be at our Yacht Club. There is always so much to do during this time of the year. The Yacht Club looks so good with all of the improvements that have been made. Our May Luncheon was one of the ladies favorites. We were treated to a summer wine tasting. Brian Hollis of Republic Nations Distributing Company entertained the ladies with the history of the wines he presented. And the wine tasting was enjoyed by all present. Our Chef, Jason, did it again by providing us with a delicious lunch. We had Caesar Salad with house made dressing. The entrees were pan seared redfish with a citrus beurre blanc sauce and grilled chicken breast with mushroom cream. Wild rice, steamed asparagus and toasted mini baguettes finished out the meal. And, of course, there were many different desserts. The Day of Wine and Roses was the theme for the May Luncheon. Jana Jarrell and Ruthie Kennedy were our hostesses. They did a wonderful job transforming the room into a beautiful setting. Glass vases with roses were on each table. These centerpieces were our door prizes. Many happy ladies left the luncheon with their winnings. June 27th is our annual Mother/Daughter Luncheon. This luncheon is very popular. Mothers, Daughters, Grandmother, Aunts, Nieces, Neighbors, Friends and Youngsters look forward to this day. They always enjoy their time together. Come join us that day for fun and friendship. Be sure to make your reservations with camilleswilliams@gmail.com or Mayor Billy Hewes has confirmed that he will be giving our program on July 19th at 6 o clock p.m. It is titled A State of Gulfport. It should be a very interesting night, with lots of information for us. We are still having our Membership Drive. Be sure to attend each Luncheon to receive your FREE Raffle Ticket for a $500 credit on your 2019 GYC account. See you at the club!
