Upcoming Year End Dance

Commodore’s Message September 2007

Hello fellow members. The season is quickly coming to a close. Fall is in the air. I hope you have had a safe and happy summer. We sure kept you busy with the club’s social calendar and we still have the closing dance and the Flamboro Races in November. Prepare yourself for a wonderful dinner and put on your dancing shoes. We have live music this year. Don’t forget to pick your nominee for the ‘Bent Prop Award’. Of course we don’t wish for any mishaps but there always seems to be some kind of incident. November we will meet at the Flamboro Races.

The spirit of this club has certainly been demonstrated this year with the great attendance at the events. I personally want to thank those of you who gave all the nice words of praise throughout the season. When I took on the position as Commodore, I was assured from the Executive and directors that I would get support from them. I must commend those who have the experience of the history of this club. They are a great asset and have been great to work with.

It is now that time, when we will be piling up our summer supplies in the carts and trying to fit it all into our vehicles to be stored for another winter. Next, we will be seeing each other hauling out our boats, winterizing and tarpping. Or maybe we will get a nice Indian Summer for some nice boating weather.

Don’t forget though, we will see each other at the Races in November and watch for plans for a winter rendezvous.

See you at the Annual General Meeting, Sunday, September 23rd.

Your Commodore

Erie Rendezvous

The Red Neck Party was a big hit for the LPBYC, with many “pseudo” celebrities making an

appearance. We had

Clint Black, a.k.a Stratocaster Styan strutting his stuff, we had Jack Black and his crew from the Black Pearl doing their Beer run from ship to ship. Also present was Kay Lee who span generations of red necks by combining Edith Bunker and Peg Bundy and there was the understudies from the trailer park boys. Thankfully, the Ballantyne’s showed up with a full contingent of

genomes so the deep

end of the gene pool was well represented,

and it

balanced out a rather obtuse crew.

The band played into the evening with the club enjoying the music and dancing the night away. The evening was exciting but missed

the excitement of

past Erie rendezvous, there was no Anna S, jamming with the band,and Allistar was

was absent, so the “rocky raccoon” didn’t have a dance partner either. Missing too was Norm and Krys, and our thoughts are with them

as they deal with the loss of his brother.

The Sunday was spent in the lagoon, over cloudy skies, we got there late as Donna needed to do more shopping. We returned Monday under 20% showers, for those of you that missed it, not to worry, I managed to get your 20% as well as my own. Guess its time to get some canvas, or look at a bigger boat, rumor has it there are a few for sale.
