COMMODORE S<br />
CORNER<br />
With the weather getting better and better activity at the <strong>Club</strong> is<br />
back in full swing! One of the best and busiest Aprils I can remember<br />
has flown by with lots of great activities and events and May will be no<br />
different.<br />
April activities started with 2011 <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Waveland</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong>'s Re<br />
view of Fleet weekend and, thanks to so many hard working volunteers,<br />
it was great! Saturday, the Commodore's Cup Regatta had 4 Flying Scots<br />
to officially kick off the sailing year. Cary Trapani and his Race Commit<br />
tee headed by young Harry Chapman did a great job running the<br />
races. That evening the <strong>Club</strong> hosted a fantastic Bail the Bilge/Membership Party organized by<br />
House Committee Chairman, Margene Dawson. I particularly want to thank Margene for the great<br />
job she did in putting together such a great event. As the centerpiece of our Membership Drive, lots<br />
of prospective members were treated to great food and music. On Sunday morning the Review of<br />
Fleet started at 11:00 AM. The flag raising was really special with Jessica Gordon treating everyone<br />
to a beautiful rendition of our National Anthem. Following the presentation BYWC's finest boats<br />
paraded in front of the <strong>Club</strong>. Everyone then enjoyed a delicious lunch buffet prepared by our tal<br />
ented staff with music from the New Orleans Jazz Band with our own Walter Chamberlain. Con<br />
gratulations to Chuck Breath who won the best boat contest with his beautiful homemade wooden<br />
boat! The entire day went off without a hitch thanks to the hard work and great planning by our<br />
Fleet Captain / Chaplin, Commodore Ted Dawson. Thank you.<br />
The weekend of April 16 17 was also loaded with terrific events. On Saturday we held the<br />
Annual Jordan River Regatta with 5 Flying Scots Participating. On Sunday, our youngest members<br />
enjoyed an Easter Egg Hunt while everyone (more than 160 served) enjoyed the Annual Harry s<br />
Crawfish Boil under the club. Chief boil master, Harry Chapman, and his crew of Corky Hadden (co<br />
chef), Josh Magee and Roger Ericson (Sous Chefs), Molly Hadden (Chief Coordinator) and Jackie<br />
Wintruba, Roy Troendle, and Kathi Troendle (Servers) served up some of the best crawfish I have<br />
ever had! Special thanks also goes to our Entertainment Chairman Becky Trapani for organizing<br />
the Easter Egg Hunt and the entertainment for the Crawfish Boil. The month was capped off with<br />
our annual Easter Brunch.<br />
The Wednesday Night Races and buffet are doing great also. There are usually several boats<br />
on the water competing and the diners are really enjoying the return of the buffet. The Summer<br />
Sailing Series starts this month and Sailing Camp will begin at the end of this month. The pool is<br />
open on the weekends and the fishing season is in full swing. We can only hope that this type of ac<br />
tivity will continue to build a contagious desire for everyone to encourage new members to join us<br />
don t forget, you have until the end of May to take advantage of the Membership Drive!<br />
Finally, I want to thank Tony and Jolynne Trapani for generously donating their beautiful<br />
playground set to the <strong>Club</strong>. We will soon have it up and ready for our kids to enjoy.<br />

MANAGERS TURN<br />
GEORGE H. CONSTANCE, CCM, CCE<br />
May signals the start of summer, but before we start with the upcoming events a few<br />
thoughts about April events. Bail the Bilge and new member party was a great success with over<br />
100 members and guests in attendance. Various committees displayed printed information about<br />
the varied club activities. A big thank you is in order for Margene Dawson who organized the event<br />
along with Kathleen Jenkins and Nancy Finalson for arranging hors d oeuvres for the party. Review<br />
of the Fleet was honored with a beautiful sunny day with the blessings of Ted Dawson and his di<br />
vine influence for this special occasion. The Color Guard, Flag Raising and the vocals of Jessica<br />
Gordon singing the National Anthem gave us the meaning of what a great country America is and<br />
the pride we have in our club. Commodore Randy Santa Cruz and his daughter Reid won first place<br />
in the Commodore Cup Regatta April 9 th . The pre Easter Egg Hunt was coordinated by Becky<br />
Trapani, Entertainment Chairman. Harry s Crawfish Boil followed with a sellout crowd.<br />
May is chock full of member events starting with Cinco de Mayo on the 5 th we will serve a<br />
mini Tex Mex buffet along with drink specials to celebrate the occasion. Mother s Day Buffet is May<br />
8 th , reservations required (228 467 4592). Reservations must be received by Friday the 6 th any res<br />

NOTICE OF POLICY CHANGE<br />
You may be aware that many local GYA clubs have recently changed their policies as it relates to<br />
giving visiting members of other GYA clubs reciprocal charging privileges. Due to the difficulties<br />
encountered in charging purchases back to a visitors home club, and several collection issues in<br />
volving visiting guests, many clubs are doing away with reciprocal charging privileges and are<br />
now requiring that guests pay their bills with a credit card rather than allowing visitors to charge<br />
back to their home club. Reciprocal use is still allowed, only the charging privileges have been<br />
changed. Please be aware that at its April meeting, the BWYC Board of Governors approved a<br />
similar policy change to eliminate reciprocal club charges at BWYC and requires that visiting GYA<br />
club members pay for their purchases at BWYC with a credit card. This does not change our long<br />
standing policy of giving members of other GYA clubs reciprocal use privileges at BWYC.

Hi Ladies,<br />
Dot Kersanac-Burns, President<br />
228-326-5527<br />
Looking back to April, we had wonderful weather for our annual Review of the Fleet, good turnout, and<br />
usual great eats as well as fantastic music by Walter s Jazz Band following a delightful Bail the Bilge and<br />
Prospective Members party the previous night. To add to the event, the sax playing in the background in<br />
the bar area was a very special touch.<br />
Wednesday night sailing is continuing with gusto and with such beautiful weather, more and more<br />
members and guests are attending luncheons, dinners, and just relaxing and enjoying the <strong>Bay</strong> breeze off<br />
the porch. If you haven t had the opportunity yet, you re really missing out on a wonderful event!<br />
I m sure the Easter Egg Hunt was a great success as well as the usual annual Harry s Crawfish Boil sell<br />
out. Then, of course, was the Easter Buffet and hopefully, everyone had a wonderful Easter with family<br />
and friends! And congratulations to the winner of <strong>THE</strong> GRAND RAFFLE!!<br />
Looking into our May events, we have the Mother s Day Buffet on the 8 th HAPPY MO<strong>THE</strong>R S DAY<br />

of America. Tickets are available from Kathleen Jenkins and Susan Carron (our Outreach Co-chairs)<br />
please help support such a worthy cause (our new facility in the <strong>Bay</strong> needs your extra support in its initial<br />
phases).<br />
The annual Bridge Fest has expanded to two days this year-- May 14 and 15 th -- where we ll have on<br />
display our Wagon of Cheer as we kick off our annual raffle. Chair for this event is Nancy Finlason and<br />
