May 2008
Is it May already? Just look outside and the budding trees and flowers will tell you that it is. May also lends us to remember that “Derby Day” is here with all the lovely ladies and the handsome gents dressed in their spring fashions not to forget the beautiful and most attractive hats that will be adorned on May 3rd. Hopefully you’ve made your reservation to enjoy this most popular event.
On April 19th the Miss CYC pageant was held. We had four lovely young ladies to participate in the pageant. The participants in this year’s pageant were Hilary Jones, Chelsea Hernandez, Samantha Phillips and Charlotte Neild. PC Rob Collison acted as Emcee for the evening and as usual did an outstanding job. The first runner up was Samantha Phillips who received a $500 scholarship. The winner who was crowned Miss CYC for 2008 was Charlotte Neild who received a $1,000 scholarship. Charlotte is the daughter of Bill and Angel Neild. She is also the granddaughter of PC Pat and Ann Neild. Thanks to Anne Hurley and Carrie Hall for their many hours of intense hard work in putting such a successful event together.
Things remain busy at the club. As I informed you last month, BURGER NITE is back and from all reports is doing very well. You say you’ve never had one of Bishop’s Burgers? Shame. Make a note not to miss such an enjoyable night out for a great and inexpensive meal. For you draft beer lovers, we are implementing two popular imported draft beers. So be sure to stop down during Happy Hour (5 to 7 PM) and partake of one or both of these delicious cold drafts.
The outside dinning is now in place and is being used quite a bit. From all reports, everyone has enjoyed themselves sitting outside overlooking the beautiful river. Don’t forget to make your next lunch or dinner reservation for outside dinning.
We are looking to implement the gazebo into an outside bar for the upcoming summer. Our Board of Governors is committed to provide you with an outside bar for our summer activities. Board member Joe Beatty has lent his talents by designing the gazebo for this intended use. We are very grateful for Joe’s talents and look forward to using the gazebo for some summer fun. We are also looking to name the gazebo. We will have a contest coming up to pick the winning name. I plan to provide details in my next letter. So be thinking of a good name.
In conjunction with the above, the Club plans to return to its Sunday Summer hours with a few improved changes. Kitty says that Brunch will remain the same, from noon till 2 PM, and then reopen from 5 to 9 PM. With the outside dinning and the gazebo up and running soon, the Club should be the place to be on Sunday. The extended summer hours will begin on May 18th to coincide with Commissioning Day and plan to run until De-Commissioning Day in October.
Speaking of Commissioning Day, don’t forget this is the official day your club begins the summer boating season. So mark down the date, May 17th and help your club celebrate “Opening Day”. We have a CYC favorite scheduled for the entertainment that evening. Appaloosa will be with us which promises a lot of fun for the evening.
Vice-Commodore, Dave Orem has asked that I invite any CYC member who would like to get together and discuss cruising our local waters to meet with him at the Club on Saturday, May 10th at 1:00 PM. You may want to come a little early and have lunch. As you know Dave is a true yachtsman and enjoys taking trips; whether it is to Solomon’s, somewhere for a raft-up, or just to get away. So mark the date, come down to your club and see what Dave has in mind. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
I want to follow up on some reminders from my last letter. Our Fleet Captain, Tom Love, wants to remind everyone there are still boat slips available. If you or someone you know would like to have a slip, please give Tom a call. He is anxious to meet with you and make you a part of CYC’s boating family. Leave Tom a message at the Club office at 410-228-2141.
Also, the special membership initiation price of $99 is still available through the month of May for residents of Dorchester, Talbot, Caroline and Wicomico Counties. If you know of someone you would like to see as a member, why not invite them to be a member. Don’t forget first line sponsors receive a $15 credit toward your monthly food and bar statement. Any questions regarding membership can be forwarded to the Membership Chair Anne Hurley.
I would like to thank Entertainment Chair Ron Kyhos for bringing the April 25th’s entertainment to the club. For those who missed the Joe Martone Trio on April 25th truly missed a great evening. All those members who heard Joe, I feel will have to agree with me. I promise we will have Joe and his trio back.
Please review the upcoming events at the end of my letter. As we modify or update the list, I will bold those changes for the current month’s newsletter.
Have fun at the Club,
Edwin C. Kinnamon Commodore
