Apr 23/08 1. Launch in 3 more days. If you use the keypad to open the gate, please remember to close the cover after. It keeps the rain off the buttons and curious eyes that ‘walk’ down the road.

Mar 31/08 This is hard to believe. Michigan has had the coldest winter in decades. Water expands to freeze, and at Mackinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was supercooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze intothis incredible wave. I've seen pictures of this wave phenomena in Antarctica, but in Michigan? Yes, it's been quite a winter!(submitted by Dave Prince)

Oct 29/07 Message From the Commodore
Oct 28/07 (6:00 AM) Haul Out will begin this morning at 8 AM
Oct 27/07 HAUL OUT: A final decision on tomorrow's Haul Out will be made tomorrow at 6 AM with Moir. I will post the info on both email and the web by 6:30. If it's a go there will be two cranes. The crane in the south parking lot will not have the regular spreader frame but will have something which they believe will be adequate for the wider boats. The winds don't appear to be a problem according to the forecast. Prior to 6 AM, water levels and winds will be assessed before we notify you.

July 7/07 June 4 minutes of the executive meeting added to Members
July 5/07 Last month the executive established priorities or grouped projects that need to be addressed. A was the most important; B fairly important; C would be nice if we have time. Here is the list. These projects can be broken down into individual tasks. If you would like to take on a challenge first check with the appropriate executive member (i.e. Larry Domm, Property) to make sure it has not already been assigned. Also, something like ‘landscaping’ is very broad and can be divided into several tasks.
A GROUP
• Deck addition
• Set nails in deck
• Storage (shed)
• white board... (completed G. Watton)
• gin pole winch (M. Lippmann is working on it)
• Repair/complete soffit between clubhouse and washrooms
• install dock boards on open wells around the club
• complete top on cabinet in clubhouse washroom... (completed Lloyd Ayotte)
• landscaping... removal of junk, stone along east wall (north end)

B GROUP
• Trophy shelving

C GROUP
• Lighting - east side of property
• Bar top utilization (from old club) built by Len Ellingham in 1974
• paint docks
• paint picnic tables
• display 'visiting' burgees in clubhouse
• fencing at bridge to keep out dogs and others (W. Cooper & his kids will ‘plug’ the whole)

July 1/07: Mark Your Calendars! The commodore and members of CIYC are pleased to invite you to our annual Maple Leaf Regatta and Fish Fry on July 21.
