1 IHYC FLOATING FRIEND- SHIPS FOR 53 YEARS Volume 53 Issue 6 June 2016 The Commodore's Comments - Commodore Captain Ken Burgio Thank you to those that stepped up to run the Mother s Day Brunch. It was great to see the members of IHYC come together and host this event again. We are hoping for great weather for the Boat Blessing. As long as I am not running the party the day should be beautiful! Let s keep our fingers crossed that the Cotter will be able to make the trip this year. Please remember to also support the pancake breakfast. Speaking of boats, with boating season officially upon us there are many good times and fun adventures that lie ahead. It s always fun when you meet up with fellows boaters, so I encourage you to share your weekend plans with the IHYC membership. Spread the word on where you plan on boating I m sure many people will appreciate the invite. You know how the saying goes, the more, the merrier! We are having a comedy show on Saturday, September 24th. There will be 3 comedians and the headliner will be Nick Siracuse. Please see the flyer for details. There is a lot of hype and buzz already stirring around the club about our comedy night, so get your tickets early before it sells out. I m sure it will be an awesome night! I know you all thought that I would be done talking about the front foyer by now, however I have something to say on this topic: Check out the front foyer when you get a chance! The light fixtures are in and they look great. A big thanks to V/C Jamie Schmitt for helping me get them installed.

6 INNER HARBOR NEWS June 2016 PAGE 6 Fish Fry Eric Mowry It was good to see some familiar faces at the May fish fry. We did pretty well and served 127 satisfied customers! May was the last month that we served soup, so you ll have to wait until the fall for its return. It seemed to be successful overall. Due to some changes in the club membership, I have a bunch of new positions that need to be filled on a couple of the teams. Teams 1 & 3 need the dishwasher positions filled and we are still looking for a middle fryer on Team 2. Again, to those who are not on a team to please consider joining. It s actually a good time and the teams all seem to have fun. The time you donate to help out the club works out to about 12 hours a year. Team 3 will need someone to fill in as a fryer in July due to vacations. Please help out the club! Team 2 is up June 3rd so stop in and support your club and we look forward to seeing you then.
