Whew, that was fast. As quickly as summer never arrived, it was over this week. The Boats were pulled from Northwest Marine and now sit quietly in the parking lot awaiting some TLC. Racers with boats still in the water competed for the final time this season on October 7th. A few boats will remain for the final bow when the hardy choose to be on the water November 15th for the Deer Hunters Alternative. Once again, this fair weather sailor is not unhappy to share these experiences in the clubhouse, rather than on the water!
Labor Day Weekend, though warm and dry, brought light winds for the Red Fox Regatta. Still, 72 boats came out to play and almost 400 gathered in the park in Boyne City to eat, enjoy some Mount Gay Rum and share stories of a summer of boating. Thank you to our Red Fox Committee for another outstanding event.
Thank you to our September and October hosts, Ben & Jennifer Muladore, Jim & Donna Sell, Juli & Dan Fialkowski, Bob & Jan D’Alcorn and Bill & Birute Fleck. The club is open Fridays from 6 pm to 9 pm with a bartender in attendance. Please be sure to indicate your availability to host when returning your renewals. If your availability changes, please
contact Carol Herald at 547-2863.
As the boating season closes, we hope you will join us for our regular Friday Socials or for a Saturday event during the upcoming months. Please be sure to indicate your availability to host when returning your renewals. If your availability changes, please contact Carol Herald at 547-2863.
The club will be closed on the following Fridays, October 30, December 25 and January 1.
See you at the club!

Halloween
Party
Saturday, October 31 is Halloween. Join us at the club to revisit Woodstock. Yes, this is a Hippy
Costume Party so dig out those old bell bottoms and tie-dye tee shirts, grab your guitars and come on
down to the club. Games, food and prizes for the best costume. $5.00 donation and cash bar. Sounds like fun.
Watch out for the “Special Brownies” and the “Kool Aid.”
Awards Night
Everyone is invited to attend! Saturday, November 7, 6:00 p.m. social, 7:00 p.m. potluck dinner, with awards immediately following. This is a fun time for skippers and crew to get together, congratulate the competition and pat each other on the back for a job well done. Flags are being made and trophies engraved. Hope to see you there! Anyone having a trophy from last year, needs to return it to the club ASAP.
Once again we will have our Christmas Tree up with gift tags on it. Please select one, purchase
the stated gift, wrap it and place the tag on it and return it to the club no later than the Christmas
Party, December 18th. The gifts will then be distributed to the families. Thank you for your support.
Any questions, please contact Karen Attee at 547-0448.
