Hundreds Attend Commodore’s Ball Story and photos by KAREN FUCITO record number of guests and 13 past commodores attended the Lake Hopatcong A Yacht Club’s Commodore’s Ball in September. The event was a tribute to Daniel Goritski, the outgoing commodore who officially completed his two-year run on October 1. Goritski, of Jefferson, was the 59th person to serve as commodore for the historic 118-year-old club. The path to becoming commodore at the private club is a four-year endeavor, beginning with a two-year stint as rear commodore, followed by two more years as vice commodore before moving to commodore, said Goritski. In his run-up to commodore, Goritski, who owns Jefferson-based Sebring Automotive, oversaw the renovation and restoration of the historic lakefront building, which is located in Mount Arlington. The more-than-year-long project included expanding the porch to 90 feet by bringing back the original circular gazebo-like areas on the east and west side of the porch, expanding the bar area, and fortifying the upper deck for use again. “I’m flying high,” said Goritski. “Except for the birth of my children, Jason and Kerri, this [being commodore] has been one of the greatest honors in my life.” Tom Lentine and his wife, Maureen Lentine, along with a committee of 20 volunteers, served as hosts for this year’s event, which saw 226 people in attendance. As rear commodore, Tom Lentine is tasked with all entertainment and events at the club. “Tonight is magical,” said Maureen. “We wanted to do something extra special to honor Danny, and I think we achieved that.” Top to bottom, left to right: Maureen and Tom Lentine.
