                                                      The 2009 season at CWHYC is almost over. A month from now our boats
                                                   will be laid up, Kishmartans Christmas party will be a memory, as well as
                                                   the annual PIB cruise.
                                                     But wait; now we can begin our winter season. How about the Tuesday
                                                   night suppers in the Cleveland area? If youre a new member and you want
                                                   to join us, call me and Ill let you know where and when. Then we have the
                                                   Cleveland Boat Show and the Holan boat show dinner at Delsangros. The
                                                   AYC Ball is Feb, 19-20 in Toledo and our Commodores Ball will be March
                                                   12-14 also in Toledo. Both weekends are a great winter getaway. We will
                                                   also have a winter fund raiser and maybe this is the year that we organize a
                                                   Cleveland smack down event in Central Ohio.
                                                     It has been an honor to serve these past 3 years on the Bridge of CWHYC.
                                                   Thanks to all of you for your help, hard work and service to our club.
                                                   As usual, Connie and I look forward to seeing you at the club.

        JIM MILLER  

                                                 Well here we are in October and this is my last Westwind article for the
                                              year. It seems like just yesterday that we started the summer. We have
                                              had a lot activity and have had a lot of fun. We have many new members in
                                              the club because of the activities and fun we have to offer. We started with
                                              Derby Day and will end it up with the Christmas Party on October 3. In
                                              between we had the Rib Dinner, Dingy Poker Run, Bridge Steak Fry, Pig
                                              Roast, Spaghetti Dinner Poor Mans Reverse Raffle, Clam Bake and many
                                              breakfasts.
                                                This year was the most profitable year that the club has had in the
                                             past 5 years (maybe longer) with respect to events. We made over $15,000
                                            profit! (not including bar revenue). This was accomplished through the
                                            diligence and dedication of our members. We should all be proud.
                                            We had great help from everyone, but I would like to personally
                                            thank the following individuals for their work in running events this year:
                                            John and Celenea Brewer, Ed and Betty Brewer, Don and Mary Kishmarton,
                                            George and Sharon Barack, Bob and Heidi Rowe, Debra Shafer, Shorty
                                            Frabott, Tom and Becky Head, Dan and Dorothy Holan, John and Sandy
                                            Pubal, Jon and Cathy Schaefer, and Tony Dalessandro. Please forgive me if
                                            I forgot someone.
                                             In closing I just want to repeat, that CWHYC will be what we make of
                                           it. If we work hard and keep the atmosphere fun, we will continue to attract
                                           members and improve financially.

BILL BRELLO

                                                         Well it looks like the 2009 boating season is coming to an end. I will be
                                                     running down the inventory at the bar. We have already used up the chips
                                                     and pretzels and will not be ordering any more. Please understand that it is
                                                     difficult to keep everything stocked at the bar during the winter months.
                                                     Hopefully I will still have your favorite beverage in stock.
                                                     For the past two weeks we have had the projection TV in the bar to watch
                                                     Ohio State win and the Browns loose! We will be showing more of the
                                                     games and I hope to see a good crowd for the next few Saturdays so stop
                                                     in and join the fun.
                                                       The bar did well with the pig roast and clambake and I expect to see quite a
                                                     few members for the Kishmarton Christmas. I have heard through the
                                                     grapevine there may be an appearance from the Deluxes and that should
                                                     bring in the masses. The club will most likely be closed by Halloween. Until
                                                     then the bar will be open whether there is an event planned or not.
                                                     Its been a good summer and in closing Id like to thank everyone who
                                                     tended bar and gave me a break this year, especially during the Pig Roast
                                                     weekend when I cruised to Edgewater Yacht Club.

DEBORAH SHAFER

                                                         Labor Day weekend we had 7 boats cruising to Edgewater Yacht Club. The
                                                      trip was a success with great weather, water and a sky full of planes.
                                                     Although the raft outs were cancelled this year, we did get some practice
                                                    while watching the air show; and what other Club has their own "coastie"
                                                    awaiting our arrival. (ThanksJohn) Well fellow boaters, 2009 boating
                                                    season is nearing the end. We do have one more cruise scheduled to Put-
                                                    In-Bay leaving Friday October 9th and returning Sunday October 11th. If
                                                    you are not able to leave on Friday please come join us on Saturday. Make
                                                    sure you sign up by October 4th so as I can give Miller Marine the list of
                                                    boats. I will send an e-mail to all that have signed up regarding exact times
                                                    and events.
                                                      As always hope to see you soon at the club or on the water.

                                                           I see the boat cradles and trailers are out of storage. That's not
                                                         a good sign. Almost time to winterize.
                                                        Great turn out for the clam bake. Boy there were a lot of people at the
                                                        club. I even saw a few new members having a good time. It was nice to see
                                                        Charles Baldwin at the club. Check out the yacht web site for pictures.

    Without a doubt, August was one of the busiest months CWHYC has had in
years. We started off with a great Rib Dinner put on by the Baracks.
Following Tom & Becky Heads Spaghetti Dinner, we meet our very own
Deluxes. Many of you may have missed their performance, but dont worry,
they will be back for the Clambake. We were visited on successive
weekends first by Mentor Yacht club and a week later by Vermilion River
Boat Club. Both clubs really enjoyed CWHYCs hospitality and spoke
highly about our club and the friendliness of our members. These clubs
spent a lot of time and money in our bar. Vermilion helped put Dan Holan
Poor Mans Raffle way over the top which made it a really big success. On
Monday, August 24th we hosted the monthly AYC dinner meeting. Twentyseven
clubs and 85 delegates attended and enjoyed a great meal and par
for the course they supported our club by gathering in the bar before
dinner. We had a crew of 18 working the dinner, which included the
kitchen crew, serving crew, bar crew, clean-up crew and the where to park
your car crew and the front door penguin. Thank you all for giving of
your time to make CWHYC look so good.
Jack Pekar laminated the counter top for the dining room service line. Jack
did a great job, thanks. The sink still needs to be installed and plumbed. I
wonder who would like to get that done for us?
Our membership drive continues and I hope that we can report 2 new
members before the end of September. The combination of new members
and the assessments collected to date have put us in a much better
financial position compared to last year. For those of you that still owe the
assessment dont forget that it can be paid by credit card.
September will be busy with a cruise to Edgewater, Pig Roast (with music),
Clambake (with music), Chili Off and plenty of OSU football shown in the
Connie and I look forward to seeing you at the club. Gene

Well as you read this article, Labor Day shall have passed by and we will
be moving into fall. Not that the weather this summer was that greatin all
actuality it rather suckedbut we still have some beautiful days to come.
Just because the leaves start turning and the sun is setting lower in the sky
that does not require that we give up the fun times. We have lots still in
store at CWHYC.
This fall we will once again be watching the Buckeyes at the club. So on
Saturdays come on up and cheer the Bucks. We will be rooting for the old
scarlet and gray! Also, dont forget the Clam Bake on September 19. Dan
Holan and his crew will be pre-selling tickets. The dinner is $25 for clams
and steak. We will have music that night also. So it should be a really
good time.
In October we will have the Christmas Party on October 3 after the
Membership Meeting. We will need folks to start decorating before then.
As in years past there will be a gift exchange if you would like to
participate. Don and Mary Kishmarton have once again volunteered to run
this event.
Finally, one note on the Sunday Breakfasts. We held 15 Sunday breakfasts
this summer. We served 1,223 people and made a profit of over $2,500.
More importantly, we showcased our club to many guests and received
numerous inquiries as to membership. At least 4 of our new members this
year were first introduced to our club at a Breakfast. Any time you can
recruit members and make a profit, the event is worthwhile. I want
personally thank Tony Dalessandro and Sandy Pubal for making the
breakfasts successful and sacrificing their summer for the benefit of
CWHYC.

August was a very profitable month for the bar. We had several visiting
clubs from around the lake. Even though the attendance during the United
Way fundraiser at Gem Beach did not bring the numbers in front of the club
as last year, we still had quite a crowd up at the bar later in the evening.
One member from Mentor Harbor Yacht Club kept the CWHYC members
happy by ringing the bell several times.
The following Friday and Saturday brought in 12 boats from Vermillion
Yacht Club. This group appeared to enjoy the club and kept those of us at
the bar very busy. You might want to ask Connie McKeown about the
plunger shots. Ill say no more about that.
Also on Monday night the 24th of August we hosted an AYC meeting and
dinner. The cocktail hour and pre-meeting gathering brought in a gross
sales amount of $550 through the bar register.
There has been a request for baby beers. I hope by the time you are
reading this newsletter that they will be available at the bar.
I want to mention that we recently had to have the elevator
repaired&.again! One of the suggestions made by the repairman was to
remove the key from the lock mechanism each time after the elevator is
used. This should be done whether the elevator is on the 1st or 2nd floor.
The key is currently on a chain& so
it cannot be removed from the elevator. Just let the key hang freely when
not in use.
And as always, if theres anything you would like to have at the bar, please
let me know. Rear Commodore, Bill Brello

Hi Everybody!!! I'd like to start off by thanking every single person who
worked so hard at our club the day of the United Wayrock party at gem
beach. We had so many people helping out, this is the first time I can't list
them all. I'm sorry to say for all the work that was done that we didn't make
as much money as last year, but if you add up everything for the whole day
we still didn't do to bad...(hot dogs, brats, beer ,Tom & Beckys spaghetti
dinner and the bar sales). For those folks that haven't
come to a function to help out, don't look at it as work..look at it as
fun..sometimes the most fun is working together..THINK ABOUT IT!
Our pig roast is coming up on Sept 6th so if ya all don't want me to
come and hunt you down..put you on our spit..and stuff an apple
in your mouth, you should support your club and order your tickets in
advance..Call Hiedi 440-227-4674..Boy there was a good time to
be had at the fifty-fifty raffle...for those of you that couldn't make it to the
raffle I'd like to leave you with this little thought
IFA YOU DON'T PLAYA YOU GETA NO PAYA!!! I had a really GEAT time at
the raffle (as anyone that was there knows) and with
that I will bid you all a farewell till we meet again.. Shorty ..

I have 1 new membership to report for the month of August. Please
welcome Tim and Sharon Michalski from Toledo, Ohio. They dock at Gem
Beach. This brings our total membership count to 88 with 24 new members
for the 2009 season plus 2 long distance members. Just a reminder for all
the members of CWHYC, there are quite a few new faces this year. Please
make everyone feel at home and introduce yourselves if you see someone
unfamiliar.
For those of you who have not yet completed your work hours, there are
still several functions that could use a few good men and women. Contact
Heidi Rowe if you can help at the Pig Roast on September 6th. See Dan
Holan for helping at the clambake on September 19th. And Mary Kishmarton
always appreciates help for the annual Christmas party. This year it will be
held on October 17th.

CATAWBA WEST HARBOR YACHT CLUB

                                                                    

   Gene McKeown        Commodore

         August is a busy month at CWHYC.  There are some revisions to the August Calendar which is attached to this Westwind.  Check it out and if you need work hours, I can assure you we need your help.                                           
During our first membership meeting, Treasurer Bob Chapin and I reviewed the clubs financials and our overall financial condition.  We demonstrated how the combination of membership growth and an assessment would put the club in a good position to start the 2010 season.
We have had the most significant increase in membership since the club reopened.  We wont hit our goal of 45, but I am very proud of what we have accomplished and we should continue to add new members into the fall.
About half of the members have either paid in full the $300 assessment or are making payments on the assessment.  If you were a member in 2008, you have received an invoice for the assessment.  Full payment is due by the end of this year.  The future of CWHYC is in your hands.  We need your support.  Call Bob Chapin or myself if you have any questions.
The club is missing about 60 folding chairs.  If you have borrowed any or all of these chairs please return them to the dining room.
Speaking of the dining room, Sunday morning chef Tony continues to put on a breakfast buffet that is attracting big crowds.  You wont believe the pastry!!  Hell be on duty until Labor Day.  Dont miss out on experiencing the best breakfast buffet on Catawba Island. As usual, Connie and I look forward to seeing you at the club.    Gene

 As you are reading this Westwind, July has set sail and we are cruising in the month of August.  I cant help but think that the summer is rapidly passing by.  We have some great events planned for August, so make sure you partake. 

As you read this George Baracks world famous rib dinner on August 1, 2009 will have already passed.  George has his special technique of preparing the ribs.  They are flavorful, tender and oh so delicious.  I hope you all were able to partake!

On August 15, Gem Beach will once again be having its benefit for United Way.  This year the event is entitled Gem Beach Rocks Again and will have music by Colin Dussault Blues Project, Phil Dirt and the Dozers and many more.  As we did last year, we have applied for a liquor license to sell beer to the public that day. We will be serving hot dogs, brats and beer.  Your help will be much appreciated.

If that was not enough for August 15, we have the Tom and Becky Head Spaghetti Dinner that evening. I bet you didnt know Tom was a world class Italian chef.  So after you have spent the day listening to music, drinking the CWHYC beverages and eating brats, you can have a good old spaghetti feast.

Finally, on August 22 we will have the CWHYC Poor Mans Reverse Raffle.  Ticket holders will get a beer and a sandwich and a chance to win the big prize. Tickets are on sale now.  See your local bridge member.

Wow that is some month of August.  In closing I just want to thank everyone who has helped out with events, dinners and the breakfasts.  The things that you all do really make a difference. 

Jim

This is going to be a very difficult article to write. Every one knows the financial difficulties we are having. We have assessed our members and need to grow our membership by 45 new members to survive. A lot of members have worked very hard to achieve this goal and we are moving ahead in achieving this. Last Monday July 27 when doing the bar reports I noticed that all of the Henekin Lite was gone. The week before I had 12 cans on my inventory. I looked on the register tape and only two cans were purchased. The other ten were either miss rung or not rung at all. When I filled the coolers on Monday I put 12 bottles of Henekin Lite in the cooler. I stayed at the club until about 2:30 and when I left there were one beer and one hamburger rung up on the register. Gene McKeown and I went to a meeting at Put In Bay yacht club that evening and returned late Monday. We drove by the yacht club and saw a golf cart parked in front of the club& the lights were on and thought some one was there for the evening. Not a problem&we do have an honor bar. The next morning Tuesday July 28 I went up to check the club before going home like I do every week. I noticed that 5 bottles of Henekin Lite were missing and the empties were in the trash. I checked the register tape and only one more beer and one yellow liquor was rung up. The total on the tape was $9.50 for two beers one hamburger and one yellow liquor for the day. It is obvious the person who was up at the club on Monday night is stealing from our club. If that member or guest has just forgotten to ring up their sales, they can see me to settle up. If an innocent mistake has been made, now is the time to correct it. The last thing I want to do is falsely accuse someone of stealing from the club. If any one knows who was at the club the night of July 27 or had a guest in the club that night please see me. This is very disturbing and not how our membership should be operating an honor bar.  We need honesty and integrity at this point in our history to keep our club solvent. If anyone knows who this person is please let me or the commodore know. We cannot afford to have this continue.
On a lighter note&the bar continues to do well on the weekends. We have had entertainment the past couple of weeks to keep everyone at the club a little longer. We had a good boost to our sales this past weekend as a result of the District 29 Power Squadron visitation. As always&if theres anything you would like to have at the bar, please let me know.

There's been a lot of work being done to catch up the maintance on the inside and outside of our clubhouse..there's still
a lot of things that should be or could be done with the help of all club members. One thing I can think of that needs finished
is the food line cabinets,so any one that has some time please see Gene to see what needs done and what materials are
needed to complete the line.."carpenter,plumber,electrician,helpers" we need these skills to finish. With all the great food
and events we've been having,we really need to finish the food line.
   There are a lot of people I would like to thank this month for the work they did on the building...For painting the yellow strip on sidewalk
Dan Holan,Don Miller,George Barack,Larry Jones,Kevin Mcgrew....Water line in kitchen to the coffee maker...Don Straka
Stripping the parking lot..Jerry Schuett....Gutter cleaning...Al Sutton (not done yet,I'm just thanking him early)...Of course a
big thanks goes out to all the bridge and trustees for all they do that goes unnoticed..To Tony and his sunday breakfast help
John and Kathy for a Friday night pork chop dinner..George Barack for a great rib dinner...George and Dan Holan for the Happy Face

                                                                Deborah Shafer

Boaters let's recap.,in May we cruised to Coastal Marine, awaiting the drawbridge
skilled captains were fighting the wind while a debate in my boat was if we
could make it under,  Dad won but only by inches. Rumor has it there were a couple
who took a midnight dip (buurrrr.) In June the raft out was canceled but rescheduled
for August 22nd remember to sing-up and check your anchor line. On June 27 what a
great day for the Fremont river run. Kudos' to Tony and Jacquee Rutherford for leading
the fleet and a great reception was awaiting us at Fremont Yacht club. I believe this will be
a repeat next year.(Chapin remember follow the leader and Chappy remember the funnel!)
In July the dinghy poker run was a success after a rain delay, a BIG thank you to John
Brewer for all his hard work. Cruises coming up are August 8th to Lyman Harbor, again
August 22nd is the raft out, Labor Day week-end is the cruise to Edgewater Yacht Club
and the last cruise is to Put-in-Bay October 10th. Remember to sign-up for the cruises
or give me a call. Look forward to seeing everyone out on the water.

    Our season is well under way, with the best yet to come. Check out the club calendar and be sure to add your name to the up coming events, dinners and cruises. For those of you that have just joined, the sign up sheets are posted on the 2nd floor back hall bulletin boards. There is plenty to read and sign up for.

    Speaking of new members, as of this date, the total is 19. Our next open house will be set up for either the 12th or 19th of July. In the meantime, bring in your friends, dock mates, and marina acquaintances and show them around the club. Our membership grows due in large part to your personal efforts. Don't let up. Our goal is 45 and we can reach it!

    There is still a long list of club projects posted on the bulletin boards. Sign up for one, organize a work crew and see Head Trustee Shorty for "how to instructions". Materials will be provided. If you need tools, we got them. Some jobs will require equipment rental, we'll take care of that. Lets "git er done".

    Fleet Captain Deborah Shafer will reschedule the Kelley's Island raft off for later in July or August. The weather was too "fly" for the original date of June 20th. Ask any one that went to Fremont what they thought of it. We had a blast!

    If you see someone in the club that you don't recognize, introduce yourself. It's highly likely they're a new member or a prospective new member.

    As usual, Connie and I look forward to seeing you in the club.

    Wow is it July already. The summer is moving right along! We have had lots of fun so far and have lots of fun planned for the coming weeks. We start out with the dingy poker run and all that brings. Fleet Captain Debra will have more information about that. As always that should be an outstanding event. The bridge steak fry is scheduled for the Saturday of the membership meeting. We hope to see a lot of you there. We will have music that evening. So be sure to bring your dancing shoes.

    I know I sound like a broken record, but if you havent made it up to the club for Sunday breakfast you are really missing something good. Chef Tony and sous chef Sandra are amazing. We are really fortunate to have them. Attendance at the breakfasts continues to grow. We are nearing the century mark and hope to pass that on July 5. So far the record is 97. If you are needing work hours please sign up to help. We continue to need people to serve, run food and of course clean up.

    We are always looking for people to host Friday night dinners. I would like to thank all of those who have volunteered thus far. The club is always looking for ways to generate revenue and these dinners are great ways to help out the club.

    Finally, I would like to close by asking everyone to assist as a member of the entertainment committee. If you want to help out let me know. If you think we could use some more events, have some ideas and want to host the eventlet me know.

    Now that boating season is officially in full swing it might be a good time to remind everyone that we are a self service yacht club bar. This means we must clean up after ourselves. If you are the last member to leave the bar area& it is your responsibility to make sure the lights are off and the club is secure. This also applies to the porch area. Please make sure all cans/bottles/glasses are returned to the bar or disposed of.

    I want to apologize for the brand new bowling machine that has already taken a dive. The vendor has been notified and a part is on order. Sorry for the inconvenience. I hope to have this repaired soon. You should notice some changes in the music selection in the jukebox. I considered taking out Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash, but I figured Id be hung by the yardarms if I did!

    Due to the overwhelming response to the June drink special of the month&Tequila Sunrise& I am going to continue this drink special in July. Dorothy Holan has agreed to supply an additional surprise to go along with this special drink. Youll have to come into the bar and discover what her surprise is!

    Dont forget to come in and enjoy, and also remember to bring a friend.

    Hi folks! Hey the club is looking pretty darn good these days, but theres still a lot that needs done, so please take a look in the upstairs hall to see what you may be able to help with. I'd like to thank George and Dan for cleaning the gutters
on the lower roof above the showers. Great Job Guys!! We are working on a plan to clean the gutters on the upper roof, but since none of us have a parachute or an airplane, we may have to go to plan B..(I'll let you know what plan B is as soon as
we think of it). Bad news. We still have a small leak in the down stairs lounge ceiling. so if anyone happens to be at the club when its raining really hard, climb up a ladder, push back the tile next to the back wall and see if you can see the drip or where its coming from. We almost hit 100 at breakfast last week. I know this week may be the week! With all the great kitchen help and a fantastic chef (Tony), how can we miss? So everyone bring all your friends and tell everybody so maybe this will be our independence Day!!!   Hope to see you at the dingy run!!!!   Your friend and head trustee............Shorty

Greetings to all CWHYC Members. June is upon us and we have many delightful things in store.  First of all, if you havent make it up to the club for Sunday Breakfast, you are missing one heck of meal.  Our executive chef Tony Dellasandro and his sous chef Sandy Pubal have been spoiling us with such delicacies as fruit filled crepes, stuffed french toast, and pannettone bread french toast, as well as fresh eggs, sausage, ham and pastries.  Our mother/son team makes all of the materials from scratch; there is no premade stuff at our breakfast.  This for just $7.00 is a real, real bargain.  Breakfast is served every Sunday during the summer from 9-11. Come in and try it--You will definitely be back.

Please sign up to host Friday night dinners.  These dinners are a money maker for the Club and as you all know we need all the revenue we can get.

Dont forget to check the Calendar for events this month, including the mystery dinner and the fish fry.  As additional events are added I will update the Calendar in the Club.

As ever, if there is anything you would like to see happen, food or social wise, please let me know.  I will see what we can do.

    Well it is May and besides being the birth month of the Commodore ( May 10 ) and the Vice Commodore ( May 9 ) the boating season is upon us.The club is in full swing. We started the minth off with a bang- Derby Day. I hope you all had a good time. I would like to thank Ed Brewer and his crew for doing a Fantastic job. I also would like to thank the auctioneer extraordinaire Al Sutton. For those of you7 that missed the event it was a great time.  The food was tadty (thanks to all for bringing their dishes). The auction was fun and the band rocked into the night.
    As Sandy mentioned in her email we will be having the Sunday breakfasts again this year. We  have a new cook and this should be a great event for the club.The breakfasts are open toi the public, so make sure to tell your griends, This is a great recruiting tool to show people just what we have to offer.
    We will also be bringing back the Friday nightdinners this yeat. George and Charon Barack have voluntieered to start us off on Friday May 15th with a Lasagna Dinner. We will start srerving at 6 PM until 8 PM or when thewe asre sold out. I will be putting up a signup sheet for volunteers to host a dinner. Thesr dinners, if done successfully, can really help the club financially, so please sign up.
    On an AYC note the 8th Ann;ual AYC Vice Commodore Fund Raiser golf scramble will be Sunday May 31st at Green Meadows Go;f Course in Monroe, Mi. Autumnn and I are planning on attending. If yoou would lije to play in the scramble,let me know. The cost is$70 and includes lunch and dinner.
    Finally, I just wanted to say that the success of our club events and the club itself depends upon the members. As Vice Commodore I am in charge of the Entertainment committee and theKitchen Committee. To that end I need everyone to take part in the planning and participation of all events. If you want to host or get involved in an event, let me know. This is your club. It will only be as good as the members make it, CWHYC has always been known fot its grdat events and fun times. We must continue that tradition,\. I look forward to your continued paarticaption and  excitement.

    Summer is approaching quickly. I believe I have the bar fully stocked with everyones favorite. If you see we are not carrying something you would like& please see me.
    As you will find in everyones report, Derby Day was very successful. We had a good crowd for the Derby auction and although some left after the race was over, many people came back when the band Good Intentions started playing. Thanks to our commodore, Gene McKeown, for finding the band.
    The decision was made to raise the bar prices by 25 cents across the board. I understand this will not be welcome news, but we find it necessary due to rising costs. Its still the best bargain on the island! I have kept all of the non-alcoholic drinks and food prices the same as last year. In addition, look for some new items in the freezer this year.
    Looking forward to seeing everyone up at the bar& thats where youll find me most of the time & unless Im in the bilge of my boat!

SEASON'S GREETINGS! I'M Sure you're thinking "doesn't he know that Christmas is over?" Well, how about the BOATING SEASON? Within the next 30 days, boats will begin to show Up at the docks. I hope many of them are ours.

During the off season, Connie and I started attending the AYC Balls To date we've gone to Cooley Canal YC, Ford YC, Haibot View YC, Monroe BC, NorthCapeYC. Point Place BC, Sun Parlor BC, and Toledo YC. In addition. along with the Brellos and Durieuxs, we attended the AYC Ball in Detroit and the District7 Blue Gavel Ball in Cleveland We are enjoying this aspect of Yacht Club membership and never miss a chance to promote CWHYC.

Many of our members in the Cleveland area meet at several different locations for the Tuesday Night Supper Club. Several rnembers traveled to the Cleveland Boat Show and we all meet at DelSangros for the annual Boat Show Dinner. George and Sharon Barack sponsored a fund raiser, that drevv a big crowd and added a Substantial amount to our Treasury, The 2008 Bridge meet with the 2009 Bridge for a 'Change of Watch" meeting at which documents, keys, manuals etc. were reviewed and turned over to the new Bridge members.

Our 2009 Comodore's Ball was the last big got togother prior to the opening of the.Clubb (April 11"') and. speaking for myself, I had a very good time. Hope McLeod ,worked very hard to organize the Ball and did a great job. Shan and Bill Brello ran a terrific hospitality room. Teire Matthews and Sandy Pubal did a beautiful job with room and table decorations. Maiy Kishmarton and Kathy Schaefer organized the basket raffle and netted $850. The first numbers raffle netted about $ 1000 with McLeod, Brello, Burkle, and a non member taking home the prizes. Jim Miller Was the master, of ceremonies and surprised Us With his singing talents as he sang the anthems. It was very moving. The generosity of so many Club members that bought waffle tickets and numbers, donated baskets and gifts, and supported the club by attending is greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
 
The club is facing a challenging year. We must grow our membership, cover our' expenses and pay dovvn ourr debt.We must all "pull together" to accornplish this CWHYC has a new tag line, "Good Friends, Great Boating". Look for this in our new promotional flyer  and in our advertizements. Connie and I are anxious to see you all at the Club.

As we approach another boating season we on the bridge are most anxious to begin the year. I hope everyone had a great time at the Commodore's Ball. If you missed it, you missed one hell of a party. The food was great. The Band was great and the festivities were outstanding. I would suggest that you ask the Commodore if he will join you in a bottle or two of Irish Mist, I will say no more.

In keeping with the tradition established last year, we will have club grub available in the freezer for microwaving starting April 11. This seemed to work the best and some of the food is quite tasty!

Our first event of the season is Derby Day on May 2. Don't forget to bring your money to wager on the ponies. We will have live music that evening. We will see you there. If You haven't been there before come on by. It is a great time!

 BILL BRELLO

Well the 2009 commodore's ball at The French Quarter Holiday Inn-Perrysburg is in the books. What a great dinner setting by the pool! I wish all the members could have attended. It truly was an excellent location. The hospitality room was kept busy all weekend and was enjoyed by all. Everything went smoothly except for the hotdogs I forgot at home in my freezer. And-sorry Al.... but there WERE 2 bottles of regular tonic returned to the club.

Moving on to the events of the year, the bar should be fully operational by the middle of April. We have scheduled a clean up day for April 11 th. Cleaning materials will be supplied ... but we are in need of able bodies. The first big event will be Derby Day on May 2nd and I will be looking for bartenders. Please contact me if you would like to get your hours in early this year.

If there are any special items you would like to see at the bar, let me know and I'11, try to accommodate your request. Please remember we do not have a professional bartending and cleaning staff. It is up to all members to clean up after themselves.

I have renewed the group profile for CWHYC in Boat U.S. This entitles our members to half-price BoatU.S. memberships. For your reference, our group number is GA81953Y.

Looking forward to a great year !!!

IMMEDIATE PAST COMMODORE

    KATHY SCHAEFFER

I JUST Wanted to thank everyone in the Club for YOUR_ SUPPORT the past thtee years. I appreciate all who stood by me and helped me. It has been a privilidge and honer to have served CWHYC as Rear, Vice and Commodore. Weare still at a critical time in our Club,where Our financial future is in question. it will take a concerned effort by all of our mernbers to bring in one N EW member each this year. This Could totally turn around our financial problem. When you talk to fellow boaters or frends, promote a membership in CWHYC. I hope every member will take a new application in hope each Of YOU will put it to use . Our Club is fortunate to have so many hard working penple who donate their time to cook clinners and promote all GUI' events. I thank everyone who has participated and helped the past year~ For all YOU new members. there is no better way to rwi-ake friends then working an event and enjoying the company of some very fine members.
We are fortunate to have one of the finest Yacht Club facilities on the Great Lakes and, even more importantly we have some of the best members YOU can find any where who are willing to share their knowledge of boating. culinary skills and Fish stories. It Is all the above, that lead Jon and I to join and work for CVVHYC the past 20 years. As past Commodore I will still continue to work for and SUPPORT CWHYC. Thank you again.

Kathy Schaefer. Past Comrnodore

FROM THE COMMODORE:

  
    October is slowly winding down and the hard work of putting boats away has started.

    Many of our members enjoyed the Kishmarton annual Christmas party and the not so surprising surprise visit from Santa and his beautiful elf helper. The club was decorated and felt very festive. Don and Mary's dinner was, as we have come to expect, delicious. For all of you that worked so hard to make the Christmas party a season ending event, thank you. You did a great job.

    Our membership meeting was well attended and a new slate of officers and trustees has been elected. The new additions to the Bridge include Rear Commodore Bill Brello, Treasurer Bob Chapin, Fleet Captain Deborah Shafer, Head Trustee Shorty Frabott, and Trustee Bob Rowe. I have heard bits and pieces of their ideas for next year and I am excited about what I'm hearing. If you haven't completed the survey that we sent out, please take the time to do so and send it in. Your ideas are important. We want to build a calendar that keeps us all involved and enthusiastic about CWHYC. Our financial situation is tenuous, but together we can build a strong club. Your continued involvement along with the addition of new members will get us through the year.

    In closing, Connie and I cruised with the club this past weekend. PIB was beautiful and the weather was fantastic. We were the rookies, but for the first time we both saw a different side to yacht club membership that reinvigorated us. We had a great time.

Please keep in touch and thanks for all your help this season.

Gene McKeown

From Your Outgoing Fleet Captain

    Fantastic weather over the 10/3-5 weekend graced the last club cruise of the season to Miller Marina at Put In Bay for Oktoberlest. If you've not been to Miller Marina within the past few years (I had not) lt's worth a trip - new pavilion, wall and walkway., lighting, picnic tables, and grills and upgraded docks. Call on channel 9 or by phone for Ken who is a great dock master and host.

    As Tim Atves said Saturday morning over coffee- "It's picture perfect, a million dollar vie,w of the anchorage. islands and boats coming and goin-. It doesn't get much better. Time for a Bloody Mary.

    Seven boats with about a dozen members cruised over Friday evening with another two arriving on Saturday plus about another 15 or so members arrived by ferry. Some shopped until they dropped.

    Friday night was the Round House, where adult beverages were consurned plus some sharp dressed ladies shook their tail feathers to Paradise Island. The last stop was The Beer Barrel and Mustang Sally where more tail feathers were shaken. Do they look good or what out there on the dance floor.)

    Saturday at the Oktoberfest tent was lots of cabbage, kiaut, brats and kielbasa washed down by even more beer. OSU beating Purdue was seen at several bars. We finished the day at a combo of Mossbacks, The Beer Barrel and Mr Eds, I think we crashed a little earlier than Friday night.

    Of special note, your commodore and commodorable McKeowns spent their first overnight on their boat ever at Put In Bay, quite fitting don't you think!

    Many members remark-cd that they needed this weekend. Everything cooperated so it didn't get much better.

    This concludes my LAST year as your fleet captain. Deborah Shafer, your incoming fleet captain impresses me. She's hit the ground running, talking with several past fleet captains about what worked and what didn't plus she has lots of new ideas for cruises as well as fun stuff' for the CWHYC mernbers during the '09 boating, season plus through out the '09 year. Lead on Deborah!

    My thanks to everyone who cruised this year and helped, particularly my wife, Terre, without whorn these last three years would not have been possible. Thanks also to John Brexxer who bad everything set up when I had to fill in and simply follow his lead. Missed you -Uy!

Biff Matthews

HEAD TRUSTEE

    This will be my final newsletter article as head trustee of CWHYC. Next year I move on to the position of Rear Commodore as elected by the membership. I would like to thank the trustees and all the members who assisted on the many projects we completed this year.

    We plan on cleaning out the kitchen and closing the club on the 25 th of October. The club will still be accessible to members, however, the temperature in the club will be set at 56 degrees. We need to do this to conserve on our heating bills this winter. If you use the clubhouse for any reason, please make sure all the lights are turned off when you leave.

    For those of you who were not at the club during the lst annual chili smackdown... I was fortunate to walk away with the 1st' place prize for my 3 Bean Chili. The recipe will be included in this issue of the Westwind.

    As always, if you see anything that needs attention please see me or contact me at 440-409-2514  brello@wowway.com

Looking forward to 2009.

Head Trustee, Bill Brello

 " COME AS A GUEST AND LEAVE AS A FRIEND"

FROM THE COMMODORE:

    The summer is winding down and fall is here but we still have several activities to go. The Clambake is this weekend, Chili Cookout is Sept 27, Membership meeting and Xmas Party October 4. Please try to attend and see how much fun you will have. The Club is also open to the football games in October and November.

    By-Laws and Constitution changes and club information have been sent out this week to every member of the Club. Please take the time to read and digest all of the information and proposals and be ready to discuss these things at the October 4Th meeting.

    I want to thank everyone that has had a part in doing our club functions and activities. This month we had a Pig Roast that was very successful. Thank you Heidi and Bob, Julie and Bob and Jim Sheehan for all the hard work you did to get ready for the Pig Roast. You did a wonderful job. Any chance for next year? A thank you also to George and Sharon for the Rib Roast and to all my Bridge who worked hard to make it a success. Thanks goes out to Chuck and Gene for all of the Breakfasts that we had over the summer. Hope we can do them next summer. They were great.
We can not forget the Tour of the Islands. The trip was wonderful. Some of us jumped planes to and from the Islands too many times. But the island drinks were great.
Thank you to all of the members who stepped forward at the last membership meeting by purchasing $500-$1000 notes to help out the club. We still need addition funding that we can discuss at the October 4 meeting.
Our Club has always depended upon our membership, so if we build up our membership then we can alleviate most of the problems we are having. Again, I challenge everyone to bring in a new member by next April. The Club needs your help. So. do you know of anyone that would like to join? Bring them to the club.
In closing our Gom-modore's hall for next year is March 14. Mark
yotir calendar.
Thank you, Kathy -Schaefer, Commodore

FROM THE VICE COMMODORE

    We held our first Pig Roast on Sunday Aug 31" and to say it was a big success understates the case. Bob and Heidi Rowe and Bob and Julie Chapin and their crew put in a tremendous amount of time and planning. If you missed it you really missed a primo event. The roasting crew of Jim Sheehan, Kevin McGrew and Jerry Schuett can teach the pros a thing or two about roasting a pig. Thank you all.
    George and Sharon Barack hosted our annual rib dinner. Their ribs are as good as you'll get in any rib house you frequent. Thank you both for another successful rib dinner.
    Sandy Pubal, Sandy Durieux, Connie McKeown, Sandy Coats, Shari Brello and Celenea and Linda all worked very hard to put on the first CWHYC Island Tour. Thirty-six people went on the tour and all had a great time. Sandy Pubal's art work will stay up in the dining room for a while. It really hrighte"s kip the room. Thanks to all of yo4i for your hard work in throwing a great party,

FROM THE REAR COMMODORE

    Well it is hard to believe but summer is almost over. As I look back it has been a fun and enjoyable boating season. Starting with Derby Day in May and continuing through to the Pig Roast on Labor Day we have certainly had some good times here at CWHYC. Of course we still have some great events planned for the remainder of the year. The clam bake is this weekend and Dan Holan assures that it will be an event not to be missed. On October 4 we have the Christmas Party (albeit a little early. And don't forget we have the Ohio State games on each Saturday with special events happening during the games. So just because summer is waning don't let that fact keep you from enjoying the club. We will continue on through the remainder of the year, I hope to see you all at the club.

FROM THE FLEET  

Our August 6-10 cruise to Ford YC August consisted of 4 boats along with 13 people for a bumpy ride over on Friday morning with  Bill and Shari Brelleo arriving Saturday morning following minor engine repairs.

A Saturday afternoons rain didn't dampen anyone's spirits for the evening's festivities where Deb Shafer made sure everyone was ready to party. Sandy Durieux danced her heart out as did Jon and Kathy schaoier4u granddamughier.

The ride home was also a bit  bumpy Rolling Following seas so member or two kept a bucket by their side untill  we entered! the channel.

Food, fun, drink, music and dancing were had by all at Ford YC. Great facilitv and hospitalitv

The weather finally cooperated for a Leamington cruise on September 5th with 5 boats arriving Leamington about 7:00 pm Friday with the 6 th boat arriving Saturday morning. Friday day was ominous however NOAA was correct as we got calm wind and waves about 4:00 that we took advantage of, departing at 5:00. The ride was surprisingly smooth at full cruising speed.

CWHYC plus with a similar contingent from Vermillion YC along with a small assortment of other boats were all there were for Big 10 weekend at Leamington. I suppose it's the economy, the hassles of re-entering the US and the iffy weather, though Saturday was absolutely beautiful.

Friday night dinner at the Sea Cilff inn received mixed reviews on food and drink from many for whom it was their first time there.

Needless to say Saturday activities centered on.    beaft ac
Vermillion went off an a wine tour. CWHYC members provided
great snacks and refreshment on the dock while that evening the
marina served hot dogs and beer for the one TV.

As usual, a run to the LCBO was in order.

Sunday dawned rainy and winding yet calmed as everyone cruised home on almost flat water, one of the best rides home from Leamington in some time.

HEAD TRUSTEE

I would like to thank Don Miller Jr and his brother for replacing the concrete in front of the showers. The old concrete had shifted and allowed water to seep under the building. Without Don's equipment and labor this would have been a very difficult task.

There have been several requests from mernhown anking that those that come to the club in golf carts for events, park their carts at either end of the building and NOT take up a parking space in front of the club. There are spaces at either end of the building that will accommodate at least 4 carts. Many members have to drive from their docks / condos / trailers and at times have not been able to find parking because there is I golf cart in a parking space.

As always, if you see anything that needs attention please see me.

Head Trustee, Bill Brelleo

SUNSHINE

Thank goodness it has been quiet this month. Just alot of good food and good times, with the Rib dinner, Pig Roast, and clambake. Alot of great basket raffles at the pig roast including the Browns basket that my husband won. Did you know since the 1980's Cleveland has had its very own Dawg pound. More good food and fun is still in store with the chili cook off and Mary and Don doing the Christmas Party. Autumn starts September 22. Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a Hower. - Albert Camus Come to the membership meeting on October 4th. Hope to see you at the club.
