President’s Letter-Mike Hessler

First, I’d like to apologize for the newsletter being so late. It is
my fault for failure to submit a column to Mike Egan in a timely manner.
What a great cancer fundraiser we had this year. From preliminary estimates I have been told that this donation to the Simmons Cancer Foundation might be our biggest yet. While I
would like to thank all the volunteers and supporters by name
I know I would miss some and I don’t want to do that so I will
just say THANK YOU to everyone that participated in whatever
way. We couldn’t have done it without you. The hit of the auction was the offering of a week’s stay at a condo In Florida donated by Mr. Les Pauley. He was generous enough to offer it
not once but 6 times I believe and then donated all the proceeds to Simmons. What a generous donation and thank you
Les from all of us.
As most of you know there has been talk of covering the patio
with an enclosure similar to what the Sangamo Surf did a few
years back. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to
whether we should do a basic covering now and add on as
funds permit or whether we should go all out right away and
do a more complete version which would include expansion of
an additional 10 feet to the East. We have received bids anywhere from $8800 to $12,000. At the last officers meeting because there was such a wide range of opinions even among
the officers Bill Schreck made a motion to appoint a committee to study the bids, the available finances and the wish of
the members as to which version they want. Hopefully the
study will be completed shortly and a recommendation
President’s Letter-Continuted
Anchor Boat Club
brought before the membership for a vote by the late summer.
I have received complaints lately about our members inviting themselves to eat the food that has been brought to the club for members or private parties. Common courtesy dictates that you don’t
just go back to the kitchen and help yourself without being invited
by the people hosting the party.
One of the things the fire department inspector made us do was to
take the numeric pads off the north and east doors. These doors
now need to be locked by a key when closing up the club. We are
looking into installing self locking locks much like the back door so
as to have it locked all the time and not have to be locked each and
every time with a key.
Enjoy these nice warm days with a refreshing adult beverage at the
club. We have many new tropical and boat drinks available for the
summer months.
See you at 407 East Lake Dr. soon I hope.
Grounds
A few friendly reminders. Well, actually just one. For those of us
that park boat trailers on the grounds, we are responsible for maintaining the grass/weeds around the trailer. I forget about this, too. I
went out last week and cleared around mine and several others.
There are weeds and grass growing inside the trailers as well. It will
take 20 minutes to clear it out, and if you go every couple weeks,
less time that that.
Wow! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to all the people
who helped make the Anchor Boat Club 3rd Annual Cancer
Fundraiser a success! You may have donated your time to
work the event, played bocce ball or volley ball, bid on
live and silent auctions or had food and drinks. You may
have donated money, food, auction items or gave us discounts. It all adds up and we appreciate all of you! We
don’t have final numbers in yet, but, I already know we
had a record breaking year! We couldn’t have done it
without you! Also, I would like to thank the planning committee for all of your hard work! Loved working with you!
It was a fun and emotional day and it was worth it!
Thanks to all!
