The weather forecast for the event day of June 14 was storms so event organizer Dave Shkor made the call to cancel. Dave made the correct call as thunder storms rolled in that afternoon. Vice Commodore Mary Ryan organized a very successful Father s Day pancake brunch on June 17. A large turnout of members and guests enjoyed the food and fellowship. Contributions from those attending were added to the club coffers. Many thanks to Mary, Erin, Babs, Candi, Linda, Lynne, Mike, Leslie and others who helped make the event fun for all. We were pleased to add several new members in June. They were: Carol Jean Hillenbrand, a retired teacher who now lives in the Palmetto Bay area. She has spent many happy days involved in boating and water sports on the Ohio River, and now looks forward to enjoying the Low Country waters. John and Julie Traylor reside in the Bermuda Point area. John is a retired engineer. John and Julie own a 23 foot Sea Hunt, Salt Time Rob and Gayle Upson reside in Bluffton. Rob is an engineer. He and Gayle cruise a 27 foot Regal. Ken and Catharine Cotogno live in Hampton Lakes. They were members of the Keyport Yacht Club in New Jersey. Ken holds a 50 ton USCG Masters license. Ken and Catharine have a Catalina 22, Wind Dancer Please join me in welcoming our new members. On Friday, July 13, at 5:00pm, we plan to present results of the member survey to the membership. It will also be a time for member input regarding the future direction of the club. Please plan to attend, and stay for our regular Friday dinner. To see a complete list of all events go to:

Mark s phone is We are asked to take just one car per boat into Wexford on race days. My suggestion is to organize crew and gear at YCHHI before going to Wexford and to car pool. 3.

REMEMBER THAT THE WEXFORD HOMEOWNERS ARE OUR HOSTS AND MARK HAS BEEN GRACIOUS IN CHAMPIONING OUR FLEET SITUATION WITH THEM. PLEASE BE COURTIOUS GUESTS!
