AUGUST "MANAGER'S MOMENTS"
MANAGER’S MOMENTS
By Brenda Graybeal
Deacon John turned out to be a swinging event, even outdoors under a tent (in fact, many people said they enjoyed it more, because it was relatively cooler than the club used to be). I guess that’s true; we even had a little breeze part of the night. We had over 350 tickets sold, and I think everyone had a great time. I’m glad Deacon and his band were able to play this year. Deacon had minimal damage to his home in New Orleans, but many of his band members were hit hard in Katrina. But as he told me, traditions must go on, and playing at Bay-Waveland Yacht Club has been a standing tradition for many years (he enjoys playing here as much as our people enjoy having him here).
We’re just one month (give or take a few days) from the traditional Labor Day event, the Lipton Regatta. We’re going to be operating out of our trailers, plus we’ll have tents for various functions. We have a number of volunteers who have stepped up but we need many more to pull this off successfully. If you can work a shift or more, please give Judy Reeves, our Lipton coordinator, a call. It should be a fun time, with meals and entertainment Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
We have had over 85% of our members who have rejoined, plus we are getting several new applications every month. The swimming pool has been a great asset and has been full every day we’re open. We have had a number of private functions (a shower, a birthday party, a 50th wedding anniversary and a wedding reception). We have several other functions scheduled between now and the Lipton’s, so it’s been a busy summer for us.
Wednesday Night Races with a meal have been very popular, with an average of
fifty meals served, and a couple of over seventy. Our thanks to the members who have stepped up and provided the meals. They have all been very good. The “Grill Your Own” on Saturdays draws a good crowd. If you haven’t joined up, come on down. We provide the salad and backed potato bar (bakers and sweet potatoes) for $6.00 and you provide your choice of meat for your meal. We have purchased a new, stainless steel gas grill, so we can have lots of people cooking.
I look forward to seeing you, so come join us.
