Manager's Moments
We have been mailing out a one-page "Jib Sheet" to try to keep members up-to-date on what's happening with the Yacht Club, and to keep in touch with our members. With so many people scattered all over the country, it is critical that we keep an active mailing list so you can receive your Jib Sheet, dues and other club charge invoices. I check the club email site daily, so please email any changes to bwyc@bwyc.org, or mail to P. O. Box 3715, Bay St. Louis, MS 39521. Thanks to everyone that has already made their changes. Also, don't forget - when you get back to a more permanant location, let us know of this change.
We are looking forward to having a temporary trailer) facility set up on the club site in the very near future, hopefully sometime before the new year. We will have two trailers brought in and set up near the guest dock area (on the paved area by the harbor). One trailer will be used as a lounge, where members will be able to gather and have a drink and swap tales of the hurricane or sailing events, plus an office/storeroom set up. The two trailers will be separated by a deck area (partially covered). The deck area will be used as a place to have "grill your owns" and to view the bay and racing activities. The site where the clubhouse stood will be grassed or sodded and will make a nice area adjacent to the pool. The pool suffered very little damage and once power is restored to the area, it will be repaired, cleaned and fenced in (for security and insurance purposes). When warm weather comes around, the pool will be one of the benefits still available for member's use.
A large number of members have brought their boats back to the harbor. Dues invoices for harbor dues will go out in the very near future. It is very difficult for us to keep track of who is in the harbor and who isn't. I would like to ask that anyone who has a boat in the harbor, to let me know. Mail me or email me. Otherwise, if you had a boat there last year, you will be getting an invoice. If you do get an invoice and don't have a boat there, let me know and I'll take care of it. Please try to let me know promptly - sometimes in the past I have sent bills out for months, then someone will say" "Why, I haven't had a boat there since .....!"
I'm sure once we get on site, things will be esier and we can keep track of things better. We're looking forward to it and being able to have a place for everyone to gather will be a positive step forward and a sign things are getting a little better every day.
The next Bail the Bilge is Sunday, December 11th at the Funky Rose on Main Street in Bay St. Louis from 4:00 pm until 8:00 pm. See you there. Brenda Graybeal, Club Manager.
