Board of Directors for 2013/2014

Thanks to the Flag Officers and Directors for a

job well done.

We appreciate all your work this year!

PETALUMA YACHT CLUB

Wow. October came and went with

a whistle. Busy getting ready for

the Installation dinner and the

coming of the New Year as Com-

modore.

As most of you have seen the bar has been stream-

lined a little, and there are only 3 fewer choices for

liquor than there was at the beginning of the year. I

did manage to get rid of some old stock, but can you

believe it, Southern Comfort is being saved for a

rainy day. I saw that there was only one bottle at the

beginning of the year, bought two more, and still

have 2 left. Order it, drink it, it’ll put hair on your

chest. (Maybe not the ladies!) Otherwise the bar is

doing OK. We didn’t do as well this year as we might

have, but the cruise in body count was way down.

Need to dredge.

I would like to thank all the folks that stepped up

and did their duty this year, and the effort some of

you went to be there. David Quist, opening the bar

for all sorts of parties. Reny for the fabulous din-

ners at Monday night football. Tina and Steve,

helping out during a difficult time for my family.

Certainly not last nor least the steady hand at the

helm, Gerry. He always seemed to be around the

club when you needed him, and then some.

I don’t plan to make a lot of waves this year as Com-

modore, but if you know me I tend to see a need,

then move and shake. I’m looking forward to more

cruises this year and a little something to do every

month to get us all together. It’ll be fun. After all,

that’s what we’re all here for!

See you around the club.

Ted

Gerry Reinartz - Commodore

FLAG OFFICER’S REPORTS

Ahoy!

And so it goes… my year has

come and gone and now I must turn over the

reigns to the new bridge. The year went by fast

and I hope all of you enjoyed it as much as me.

From a great installation dinner with wine and

race cars (thank you Nancy) to many cruise outs

(thank you Mike) to a successful memorial day

(thank you Carol and everyone) to New Year’s

Eve, Oktoberfest, Cruise Ins, Halloween (multiple

witches and where’s Waldo?) to some great meet-

ings and dinners! Thanks to everyone that

helped, but special thanks to those that made it

so easy. Thanks to my board, Scott, John,

Janet and Mike. To staff commodore Marty.

To Sherri for keeping the books straight and

to the amazing David Quist for keeping it all

running as secretary. And a big thanks to

Diane for the best newsletter in the world!

And thanks to all the committee chairs; we

can’t do it without you. And finally to my

bridge, Ted and Tina. I’m looking forward to

having just as much fun in your years. Of

course, thanks to Nancy for all her help and

support! But the biggest thanks go to all the

members who make being a part of PYC so

special.

Ted Adams - Vice Commodore

November 2014

Tina Powell- Rear Commodore

As we prepare for the installation dinner and round up the bridge for the transition let me take a mi-nute to reflect on the year. Our

Commodore Gerry has been professional and ran a tight ship. I have had the pleasure and honor to serve with him. Thank you Gerry, It has been always a good time. Our Rear Commo-dore Ted has been equally professional. I have been very fortunate to work with Ted, a world of knowledge that he enjoys communicated. As we know the student is only as good as the teacher and I feel confident that with Ted on my side we will have a successful bar next year. Thank you Ted, you are truly the best. A rock solid building committee, Thank you Al Alys. The installation dinner is on the calendar for No-

vember 8. A piloting class on November 1 & 15th. A rental for Mac and Francesca on November 14th. This is a Fri-day night, the club will be closed to mem-bers on that night as it is off season and that is allowed. A club rental for David & Janny on Thursday November 27. Thank you everybody who rented the club and sent in the paperwork. Every single rental was easier because of this. It was greatly appreciated. And every person who rented the club did their paperwork perfect. See you at the club! Tina RCO

Hello PYC Members,

For those that did not attend the October General Meeting, I announced I am stepping down as Chair for Sunshine. I have been Sunshine since Don Roberts was Commodore in 2007. Even though, we are no longer boat owners, we still plan to attend functions at the Club and tag along in our Motorhome with the Cruise outs if there are accommodations at the Clubs parking lots.

Please welcome Linda Frost as the new Sunshine Chair, as she has graciously volunteered to replace me. So give her your support in make sure she is notified for any Sunshine News you would like to be put in the Newsletter. Look for her phone no. and email address in the upcoming Newsletter.

It has been my pleasure being Sunshine and I look forward to seeing you all at the Club.

Fondly,

Dee

With sadness I must

report that on October 1st,

Alta Gardner lost her

battle to cancer.

Alta was a long time PYC member,

holding positions as Secretary and

Newsletter editor. Many of our club

members have fond memories of her

at the club. Due to her illness she

resigned from the club a few years ago.

At the time of this notice, we do not

have any other information on any

service for her.

Casey Arena:

Our sincere Condolences for the loss of

your Father.

PETALUMA YACHT CLUB

This will be my last

“official” newsletter as

Editor.

I have been your Newsletter Editor for over

4 years and it is time I stepped down and let

someone else take over. Denise Calvert will

be the incoming Newsletter Editor for the

2014/2015 term under Ted Adams. I will

assist Denise in the transition and give her as

much help as she wants.

It has been a privilege being your Newsletter

Editor. It was also an education for me. I had

never used the computer program, Microsoft

Publisher before taking over this position. I

learned as I went along. I changed the way

the newsletter looked and added a few

enhancements. I hope you liked how the

format of the newsletter and enjoyed the

articles, pictures and information.

Newsletter Editor

Lately. it has been a challenge trying to do the

newsletter when I go on trips. I often had to

work on the newsletter while on our trips,

which took away from the fun things I could

have been doing. So I have decided it is time for

me to retire as Editor.

In the 30+ years that Neal and I have been

members of the club, other than one or two

years, I have been in charge of something. For

the next couple of years I would like to retire

and let our newer members take over the

responsibility of the club.

I am looking forward coming to the club and

being able to just ENJOY. See you all at the

club.

Member’s news

Fred and Linda Frost

Were on a recent cruise from Boston to

Quebec City. They were in the Citadel in

Quebec City. Picture taken with the Hotel

Frontenac and their Cruise ship in the

background.

I recently spent three days in Las Vegas on an ALL-BOYS get together with some old friends. These are seven of my closest High School Friends. Including myself, two are attorneys, two are bankers,

two are engineers and one is a fitness guru for the stars and the other a financial consultant, with a seat on the NYSE. Following our High School Graduation in 1967 we spent a week at the Lake of the Ozarks playing cards, waterskiing and drinking beer. We did the same trip a year later in 1968 following our freshman year at College. More beer was drunk as I recall. Two of these guys I hadn’t seen for 30 years! I would like to tell you about our Vegas experience, but you know the rule!

I’ll buy you a drink at the club if you can match the eight persons in the 2014 photo with their 1968 photo!

10-2-2014 Greetings from Quechee, Vermont

We are in the heart of the Fall Colors (This statement is

debatable as New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts,

New York State also claim to have the best fall colors.

We think they are all winners).

We last wrote from Arcadia NP in Maine. We have

been up in the mountains of New Hampshire and

Vermont for the past several days, and mostly with out cell services. Our

days have continued to be just great. We have taken lots and lots of

pictures but we are sure that they could never truly do justice to being

here. It is simply beautiful. As we have traveled mile after mile, and taken

hikes in the woods daily, Denise has said several time as we are driving/

walking or just standing in the woods "THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY IN THE

PICTURE".

The towns and points of interest have been plentiful thus far and we are

planning to head for Hyde Park, New York in the morning. Then on to

Philadelphia before heading west to the left coast. My thought from our

experience (visiting 20 northern states so far, that includes California) is

that nature wise, our country is in really great shape. The people we have

met along the way have been equally excellent. All is good on the road.

Congratulations to Linda Blue for being nominated as

We are proud of you Linda!

PETALUMA YACHT CLUB

10-12 Hello front St Louis, MO. OK, So the GIANTS Won last night (Oct 11th). Bumgarner

did a great job on the mound. It was an exciting game for us.

We met a few Giants fans before the game at the 360 de-

grease bar and restaurant across the street over looking

Busch Stadium. Pic attached. I can tell you that there was

about 46,990 very unhappy CARD Fans and about 10 very

happy GIANTS fans (+/-) a few. They all (47k) stayed until

the end thought..... Took about 90 minutes to get (15 miles)

back to our trailer. The 1st hour we were stuck in grid lock

outside the stadium. But we didn't mind, all was good.

Great bacon wrapped hot dogs w/ all the trimmings.

Just arriving in Kansas City this afternoon (Oct 12th). All in

good on the road. Go Giants.

Larry and Denise

Member’s news -

Calvert’s adventure continues

10-17 Greetings from the road. Sun rise at Arches NP.... a picture can't possibly do it justice. We spent the day there. Tomorrow Canyon Land NP. Sunday, who knows, Denise keeps talking about back tracking to Kansas City. Something about a ball game there on Tuesday. Anyway, all is good on the road. Larry & Denise
