Soundings: Some members may receive both a mailed and email version again this month.
Soundings Editor and Publisher Tom Elle and Contributing Editor Martha Warnars are looking for member
input.
Editors Note
There has been not one response to the request for Soundings articles or information from the general
membership! I/we need your help to make this publication more informative. This would help fill all four
pages with information (which can often be difficult). Keep in mind, the content does not have to be about
the island or members, it can be an issue, or condition that affects the members, such as lake levels or
Corps of Engineers activities or snow in the UP that may make it down to Lake St.Clair. All these items
and many more are of great interest to the membership. As two people, Martha and I do not have the
same exposure to information as the 190+ members.
Tom [Home Phone and FAX: 586.469.4445 or email [email protected]]
Martha [Home Phone: 586.949.1883 or email [email protected] or [email protected]].
Committee Chairpersons and anyone else who would like to have something included in the
Soundings…please submit your flyers or articles on or before the Friday prior to the Board Meeting.
Dinghy Wells

wells available. Some

two members on the waiting list. Contact Kathy
Martin for a well or to see if the list for the well
you’ve been waiting for is getting short!
Kathy Martin...248.879.7077 or [email protected]
ATTENTION TEENS !!
We are going to set
up a list for any
teens wanting to do
some babysitting
while at Club
Island. This list will
be published in the
Soundings giving
people with small
children an opportunity to use your services.
If you are interested please send your name,

while on the island)

FROM THE ABYA MEETING
Sea Cadets

Pride of Michigan
Study Sunken
Forest
The sunken forest is in
Lake Huron, 30 miles north of Port Huron 2 ½ miles
off shore from Lexington. There are stumps rooted
at the bottom of the lake about 40 feet down. Scuba
divers took a piece of the wood and had it carbon
dated. The results indicated the wood is over 6,980
years old. The ABYA is hosting an open house
aboard the Pride of Michigan this spring, more info
