Grand Lagoon Yacht Club
September 2014
10653 Gulf Beach Hwy, Pensacola, FL 32507 850-607-7569 [email protected]
As school begins and summers comes to
an end, we start thinking about fall and
the holidays. Fall is a great time to hang
out at the Club and enjoy boating. Also
as we enter fall there are “big” events you
do not want to miss. Mark your calendars
for the Club’s annual Halloween, Past
Commodores Gala, Thanksgiving Day,
Christmas Party and New Years Eve
events.
Port St. Joe was a lot of fun this year.
Lots and scallops and fun. Many thanks
to Mary Ann and Cheri Honeycutt for the
Back to School party for the kids. Kathy
McCaffrey, thank you for showing up with
all the one dollar bills for the scavenger
hunt. They loved Ms. Kathy!
Joe, thank you for taking the lead in
W.A.V.E. this year. We appreciate your
leadership and those who came out to
support you.
Lynda Day
Commodore
I want to personally thank our members for your participation
in our scheduled activities this past month. We had a good
time enjoying some new events. To all of our new members
who joined us in August, be assured we are here and ready to
make your GLYC experience an enjoyable one. Please let me
know of any concerns you have in regard to your dining ex-
periences.
Thank you for your suggestions for our new menu. We re-
ceived some very good ideas, some new and some old favor-
ites. I would have liked to have heard from more of you, but
the suggestions we did get are being considered. As of this
writing, we are making selection and doing cost analyses. We
hope to have the new menu available soon.
We will begin a membership drive September 1st which will
continue through October 31. See details on page 5. So, be
active in getting your friends, neighbors and relatives to join
you for dinner and drinks this fall. It could be a rewarding
experience for all of you. Check the bulletin board or call the
office for more information.
Hopefully, this month will be a cooler one for our outdoor ac-
tivities. Watch your emails for dates and details for these
events.
Wishing you a great September and looking forward to seeing
you around the club.
Terry Smith

* * * EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY * * *
Per the following GLYC By-Laws Article VIII, Section 3: Member’s bills are due and payable upon receipt and become delin-quent by the 10th day of the month. Bills that are unpaid by the end of the current billing cycle (25th of the month) shall incur a $25 late charge. Accounts which remain delinquent shall incur a finance charge of eighteen percent (18%) of each install-ment (compounded annually or 1.5% monthly) until paid. A fee will be charged for dishonored checks in accordance with Florida State law. Notice of unpaid bills which are due the 1st day of each month, will be mailed out to those in arrears.
Note: For clarification purposes, an example would be: A member’s bill is sent out on 8/26/14. If it is not paid by 9/10/14, the bill becomes delinquent. If it is still not paid by 9/25/14, the member will incur a $25 late charge which will be added to the member’s next statement to be sent on 9/26/14.

The pilings for the repair of the pier have been delivered. Plan to come on Saturday, September 6 for a work day to install them and to make other repairs. Also, Steve Jones of the House Commit-tee is requesting assistance on September 20 to reorganize and make needed repairs to the Sail Locker. Contact me if you want to help with the pilings and Steve if you want to work on the Sail Locker project. David Jolly, Your Rear Commodore Please check your mooring lines.

REQUEST TO REVIEW BY-LAWS
We have had a few issues at the Club with family members who are over the age of 23 using the Club’s facilities and participating in Club events. Please refer to the Club’s By-Laws, Article VII, Section1—General, B. Junior Membership. Persons up to the age of 23 who are enrolled in an accredited school or college on a full-time ba-sis will have all the privileges of their parents’ or guardians’ mem-berships. After the age of 23, or if persons are not full-time students in an accredited school or college, they must be with their member parents or guardians to participate in the Club’s activities. Please di-rect any questions or concerns to a Flag Officer. We appreciate eve-ryone’s attention to this matter. Lynda Day, Commodore

The children are back in school, but all is not lost. Some have taken the opportunity to play at our beach and
fish from the docks after school, AND are catching fish! The weekends are more focused on enjoyment of
the time available.
GLYC was well represented by several volunteers, skippers, and three boats at the WAVE program at Palafox
Pier on August 9th. The Veterans and Active Duty Boat Buddies enjoyed the time on the water. Our First
Annual Kayak race was a challenge with strong winds and choppy seas, but the contestants all brought back
their buckets of sand to restore our beach. It was a great time for all on the deck and on the water. Heather
MacDonald won the singles and Leo and Sharron won the double kayak...both new members to GLYC! The
Bragging Rights Fishing Tournament is over. Hopefully, all the anglers had fun, and the members had great
fresh fish to enjoy.
If you see our GLYC flagpole sporting a dressed-up look, you can thank Jim Harrison for the donation of the
signal flags.
Events: September 20—Sail Locker work day 8-noon
Every Saturday—Sail Training 10-noon
Labor Day weekend—raft-up at Sailboat Cove. Join us if you can.
Goal for this year: Let’s get ourselves and our youth out on the water.
Safety tip of the month: Check your Florida registration and stickers for your boats. The Coast guard is using a new
75’ cutter on the bay and lagoon and are doing more boat inspections than in the past. Remember, they have legal au-
thority to board your vessel at any time and issue citations, just like the Florida FWC does. They stopped me on my
sailboat last week, saw the courtesy Coast Guard Auxiliary Safety Sticker on the side of the porthole and wished me a
good day. We should all be so lucky! Being up to date on your safety equipment could save you the $$$ of a citation.
Fair winds and following seas…

GLYC Membership Drive 2014
Kick Off: September 1, 2014
Dates: September and October (subject to
change)
Objective: Increase membership/revenue
Goal: Net 5 new members monthly
Process: Application can be downloaded or picked
up at GLYC. All completed applications must have
a member sponsor who invited the prospect from
outside the Club (Walk-in new members do not
count) and be turned in before the third Monday to
be voted on at the monthly GLYC Board Meeting.
Payments may be by check, cash or credit card.
The office will work with the proposed new mem-
ber on credit card transactions.
Sponsors will receive a $100 monthly dues credit
for each new member approved by the Board dur-
ing this drive. Your account will be credited fol-
lowing the meeting approving the new member you
sponsored.
When people ask about what they get with a mem-
bership, tell them they get the use of a friendly, pri-
vate, family-oriented facility which is one of the
most affordable ones on the Gulf Coast. They also
get access to a private boat ramp close to most is-
lands for camping, to NAS, the Pass for fishing, the
gateway to the Intercoastal and one of the most
beautiful backyards you can find anywhere. Be-
cause GLYC is a member of the Gulf Yachting As-
sociation, they also have access to other member
yacht clubs along the Gulf Coast.
A GENTLE REMINDER
From the Board:
Please remember to pay your
monthly invoice by the 10th of
the month. It really helps your
Club maintain a healthy finan-
cial status each month as well as
efficient budget maintenance.
Thanks!!!

Bunco, Bunco, Bunco
Our August Bunco had 28 fun-loving participants, several of whom were first-timers. The Biggest Loser honor went to Steve Jones who lost 15 out of 18 rounds. Our Half and Half people were Kim Edens, Countess Guiles, Debbie Buckley, Laura Sebastian, John M. Adams, and John R. Adams. John R. also took Last Bunco. Fourth Place winners were Norma Jolly, Susan Ragland, Bear Mullican, and Mike Haskins. Third Place went to Susan McCall and Sec-ond Place to Patti Jones. Patti also had the distinc-tion of having Most Buncos and set a new GLYC re-cord with five of them. However, this was not enough to take Most Wins honors which went to a new-comer, Sallie Ellis, who won a whopping 15 out of 18 rounds! This, too, is a GLYC record! Sallie has promised to come back on the next Bunco Night, September 4, to defend her record. Join her and your friends and neighbors for September’s Bunco. Cost is only $10 for all the fun you can stand!

BILL HARGREAVES FISHING RODEO
This year’s fishing rodeo was so successful GLYC was able to contribute $3,000 to the Ronald McDonald House. I visited the House this morning and presented the check to Judy Burns, Executive director. She was thrilled for the donation and for our Club’s partnership with the House. We are blessed to have a RMH in our city. You have to be proud for what your efforts in the BHFR each year brings to the table. The House will be celebrating 30 years next year and has helped over 10,000 families. Our Club has been a big part of touching those families. As Chuck Haskell and his team start to gear up for next year’s fishing rodeo, volun-teer to be on his committee. Your efforts will help us help another family or two. Lynda Day, Commodore
