Birthdays
Job well done by Fleet Captain Jeremy
Schmitt for an excellent Boat Blessing. Please note that we are changing
the name going forward. It will now be
called "The Inner Harbor Yacht Club
Annie Meyer's Boat Blessing". Annie
has dedicated so much of her time over the years to help out
with this tradition. I hope she is as honored with the name
change as we are.
The playground has been installed. I would like to personally
thank Ron Wilson, Jim Ortiz, Dan Hudson, Dan Bundy, and
F/C Jeremy Schmitt for their time helping out with this project.
The parking lot looks great! Nice job R/C Dan Bright for orchestrating that work to be done.
I also want to thank the Newsletter committee (P/C Joe Riccio, George and Priscilla Clarke) for their hard work each
month to get the newsletter assembled and out on time!
Please note that for July and August the Board of Director's
meeting will be combined with the General Membership
meeting. The BOD meeting will start at 7:00 PM and the
Inside News
Lastly I wanted to mention Get Well
about smoking in the pavil- Fish Fry News
ion. The pavilion and tent IOBG Dinner Cruise
are for everyone to use and Ships Store
enjoy, so from here on out Band & BBQ
there is no smoking in either the pavilion or the tent Comedy Night
during a club function. This July Calendar
is a common courtesy, as
many members brought to my attention how inconsiderate
the smoking was during the picnic after the Blessing. Thank
you in advance to all for abiding by this.

gorgeous; I hope everyone got out
to enjoy it. On a personal note:
thank you to those who made Teresa and my “happily ever after party” possible- we certainly couldn’t have done it without the help!
Rear Commodore,
I am hoping to have a new light installed under the
carport very soon. As always, if you see something that
needs to be done in the clubhouse, please let me know.
Also, if there is something you would like to take on,
please let me know as well.
Short and Sweet,

NEWS FROM THE REAR
Commodore—Daniel
Bright
As your Rear Commodore one
of my duties is the exterior grounds of the club. I have
tasked myself with several projects to enhance the overall appearance of IHYC. I have not acted alone and would like
to thank Rich Jones for his "behind the scenes" efforts in
the yard, to Ralph Ferraina for tending to all the flowers and to Bill Vaughan for keeping our yard lit at night.
During my morning rounds its nice to see that the trash
and pavilion are picked up and neat - this speaks well for
when we have guests and visitors - to all the slip holders
keep up the good work.
As you may have noticed the driveway has a fresh coat
of sealer and stripes. The next project is the boat lift - I
will be looking for help in re-rigging and painting in the
coming weeks.
During the June Meeting two candidates were voted on
and accepted as our newest members of IHYC.
Mr. Mark Barrett and Mr. James Connolly - please welcome these gentlemen and their families when you see
them around the club.
CANALFEST - we are only a few weeks away from this
major fund-raising activity. The sign-up boards are in the
club - there are still open spots available, especially in the
kitchen during the evenings. I will be posting a request for
help for setting-up the tent on Saturday the 16th.
Lastly, if anyone is in need of a key to the outdoor ice
chest please contact me at: 628-4354.
From the Rear,
R/C Dan Bright

event - the Boat Blessing. While the weather has challenged
us for both Flag Raising and Boat Blessing both proved to be a
good time. The winds that blew discouraged many boaters
from participating as did the rising creek. The hardy few who
joined us were greeted by the Edward Cotter fire boat which
was able to make the journey unlike the past few years. The
picnic was all attended and enjoyed by all. What a brilliant mistake it was buying half pound burgers on accident! The burgers
drew rave reviews and many of our friends stood in line anxiously waiting to flop one on a bun.
Fleet captain as I was warned, is a very demanding job. For
me, I have been blessed with a tremendous outpouring of
help. From the advice and record keeping of Dan Bright, the
continual guidance of P/C Riccio to the tent crew, the fill in
grillers, my lovely wife who hand cut all of the vegetables and
to the many others to mention I thank you.
As the dust settles, my focus turns to Red Flannel. Without
the hard work of a few key members this event would not be

From Your President
Thank you to everyone who came
to our final meeting before summer break. It was a nice night
with good food (including dessert
– thank you, V/P Mary Riccio for
bringing in homemade cupcakes!), good friends, and good
times. A special thank you goes out to Tara Hudson for
hosting a paint night for us. We all had an awesome time
painting our wine glasses or anchors on canvas. It was so
fun to see the inner artist come out in each of us!
Keep on selling tickets for the Grand Jacuzzi Package at Salvatore’s! There is still time to sell plenty of tickets (if you
need more contact Nancy Myszka), however please note
that the drawing will be held on September 17th during
our Red Flannel Cruise, which is before our September
meeting. That means that all ticket money will need to be
into Nancy prior to then. Thank you for your cooperation
and for your support of the Women’s Auxiliary!

Fish Fry—Eric Mowry
June was busy and we served up 144 dinners. It was
good to see people out and about with the nice weather.
Please make a note that due to the holiday weekend the
fish fry will be held on the second Friday of the month
which is July 8th. Be sure to let friends and family know
of the change. Team 3 is up and we need some help here
due to some team members being on vacation. We are
in need of a dishwasher, a fryer, and at least 2-3 servers/
bussers. PLEASE consider helping out and filling in to
help the club out.
I will also be posting a checklist of sorts in the kitchen
area listing the things that the teams need to make sure
get done during and especially after the last order is taken. Please remember that we need everyone to pitch in
at the end of the night to help clean up their stations, as
well as the kitchen and dining areas. With the whole
team helping out everyone can enjoy the rest of their
evening that much sooner!
I hope to see you all on July 8th with all your friends and
family.
Thank you,
Eric Mowry , Fish Fry Chairman & Director
