January was a great start to a new year. The Oyster and

Crab feed were excellent.. The Seattle boat show was a

blast. Thanks to everyone that planned and worked

their tails off to host these events. The superbowl par-

ty was a very well attended event. Thanks to the

Grimes and Mark Cope for all the work selling squares

and installing the 75” TV. It made watching the super-

bowl a whole lot better. I look forward to the St. Pat-

rick’s party and casino coming up March 15th.

As a reminder again, please be sure to get your insurance

policies for your boat and/or boathouse to the club so we

can keep them on record.

Be very careful on the docks there has been a lot of snow and ice.

Thanks to Sal and Mary Beltran for taking the traveling CIYC Burgee to Beijing, China.

Happy Boating……Dan

“YACHT TALK” February 2014

From the Helm

CIYC NEW MEMBER

Please welcome new member, David Young, voted in at the February 2014

General Membership meeting.

Please use the metal, heavy duty dock carts (located in the haul out) for any construction materials or de-

bris. The fiberglass and plastic dock carts are not meant for the heavy construction use. Please clean out

any debris from the carts after you use them. Remember to return the carts to the top of the ramp immedi-

ately after using them.

If the dumpster is full, DO NOT stack garbage in front of the dumpster, the garbage driver will not move it

and it just gets spread all around the dumpster area creating a big mess. If you find the dumpster is full

please take your trash to the dumpster near the boat ramp.

Please keep your dogs on a leash at all times around the club and on the docks. Also please clean up after

your pet!

Members are responsible for security around the club, if you see anyone you don’t recognize, introduce

yourself and find out who they are. Do not loan out your keys to anyone, guests are allowed on the docks

only when you are present, you are responsible for your guests.

Jim Sarpolus….. Jimbo and Anna Sedgwick…Cruise/Fleet Captains

Matt and Jenee Worman...Entertainment Committee Chairpersons

Past Events in January: January 11, 2014… 10:00 am Cruise and Entertainment planning meeting…. Member attendance and participation turned

out a good plan of events for this next year. The events are listed and posted on the board with dates and Hosts. We also have the RYC events highlighted in yellow for your reference.

January 17, 2014… Fri. Night Bar-B-Que w/Oysters, Hosted by Buxbaum’s and their committee members January 18, 2014…. Crab Feed, Hosted by Buxbaum’s and their committee members

Both the Oyster night and the Crab Feed turnout was a super success. Lead Hostess, Joyce Buxbaum did an excellent job of planning and organizing the event along with her committee members and all the volunteers that helped. Joyce had help from so many of the members that it is hard to list them all but of them were Jeffrey’s, Lomax’s, McCue’s, Worman’s, Coie’s, Grimes…..the list goes on and on….

January 25th and 26th, 2014…. Seattle Boat Show, Hosted by Dan and Tiff Coffland, Lomax’s and Jeffrey’s. This was another super fun event..The bus trip was a blast with Roy, Jeff and Dan working up and down the aisle of the bus

delivering food and drink as fast as Tiffany and Lisa’s could stuff the trays with goodies.... I think it was said Roy and Jeff may have lost 5 lbs working so hard and with all that running up and down the aisle.

Once again, we want to thank all our Hosts and their committees on these events!! Their efforts and the club participa-tion is what make our outings a wonderful success. (It can’t be done without ALL of you!)

See the flyers in the newsletter and posted on the board for details. Email reminders will be sent out too. February 2, 2014 …Chili Cook-off and Super Bowl Party, Hosted by Buxbaum’s, Bowen’s and Kuga’s. First place Chili was presented to Art Marino, one of Mark Cope’s guests. Second Place went to Kathie Bunn Third Place went to Wendy McCue The Super Bowl was terrific because the 12th man was here in the club house…Unfortunately the Broncos were a no show!!! The food spread was one of the best the members and guests put out and the membership pitched in to help with the clean up…boy what a night!!

Upcoming Events to plan for in February: February 8, 2014… Richland Yacht Club Chili Cook Off

Reminder: It is extremely important, when applicable, to sign up early to help in the planning for the food and entertainment to support events. Contact the event host with the number in your party that will attend.
