July 2016
June has been a very busy and exciting month
around the club. What an awesome opening weekend we had! It was nice to see everyone- members,
guests, and visiting yacht clubs- enjoying themselves and celebrating opening day.
I would also like to personally thank everyone who
dedicated their time and effort to make opening weekend such a success- especially our House chairman, P/C Deb Noon, and Deputy Bill
Foy. The staff and many volunteers worked hard to ensure the success
of the weekend. It takes many hours and days prior to the opening to
get ready, to make sure everything in the house runs smoothly and
stays stocked throughout the weekend. With many hands, these preparations seemed effortless! I wound also like to thank the club members
who volunteered to serve dinner, help cook breakfast, clean up, and
empty trash cans, etc. This was an opening weekend to remember! A
BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED TO CREATE THE ISLE
OF CAPRI ON THE BUSH RIVER!
Congratulations to our beautiful Princess Delaney! You did a fantastic
job at the Queen of the Chesapeake Pageant and earned the prize of 2
nd runner up in a very talented group. Ginger and I have really enjoyed spending time with you at all of the Commodore Balls and Openings. We are all so proud of how well you’ve represented Bush River
Yacht Club, and know you will continue to do so as you travel around
the Bay.

June has been a very busy and exciting
month around the club. Congratulations
to our Princess Delaney for a tremendous
showing at the Queens Pageant. We are
all so proud of how well you’ve represented Bush River Yacht Club, and know you
will continue to do so as you travel
around the Bay.
What an awesome opening weekend
we’ve had. It was probably the best one to me since I’ve been a
member of the Club. Congratulations Commodore Henry and
First Lady Ginger!!! Everyone did a great job decorating their
boats and piers and it was nice to see everyone- members,
guests, and visiting yacht clubs - enjoying themselves and celebrating opening day. Congratulations A Pier for having the
“BestDecorated Pier” on the Bush! I would also like to personally
thank everyone who dedicated their time and effort to make
opening weekend such a success- especially our House Chairman, P/C Deb Noon, and Deputy Bill Foy, who all worked hard
with their staff and many volunteers. It takes many hours and
days before the opening to get ready, to make sure everything
in the house runs smoothly and stays stocked throughout the
weekend. With many hands, we made these preparations seem
effortless! I would also like to thank the many volunteers who
during the weekend helped to cook breakfast, clean up, and
empty trash cans, etc. to make this an opening weekend to remember. You all are very appreciated! I hope everyone had a
great Father’s Day and a Fourth of July. Be safe and enjoy the
nice summer.
See you around the Club; Jim Otte; Vice Commodore

I am not sure how everyone else feels, but in my
opinion Opening Weekend as a huge success. The
weather was great and even though there was a
threat of rain, everything was perfect. A lot of people worked very hard to make sure that everything
was in place and ready to go. The club really came
together and made this the kind of weekend we all
look
forward to. Everything from the pier decorations, to setting up the
house, the dinners and so much more made this a great weekend.
Thank you to everyone that jumped in to help. It has been a long
time since I’ve seen that many cars in the parking lot on a Saturday.
A special thank you to Joey, who was having a very hard time directing everyone to a parking space. There were cars parked in
places that I’ve never seen before.
Now that all of that is over we can all start to look forward to some
cruising time. I have not had our boat out on a trip all year and really want to spend some time on the water. We have the Fourth of
July trip planned for Kent Island Yacht Club. They always treat us
well and I am looking forward to that trip. Kent Island has a great
restaurant and nice pool, everything you need to relax for the weekend. In addition we will be surrounded by fireworks all weekend.
This will be a fun cruise.
Don’t forget that we will also have the vacation cruise at the end of
the month. This is a week-long cruise that always ends up in Rock
Hall for a crab feast. Last year we all had a great time and this year
should be even better.
