Summer is ending and fall is on the way. It
is a great time of year to be enjoying our club. The
Board has been focused on meeting the goals set
forth in the bylaws as we pledged when inducted
last January. Let’s recap: Our Islander leader has
done a wonderful job of planning some great ad-
ventures and raft-up opportunities. The Fleet Cap-
tain has provided great fun races from our beach
good for racers and spectators, coordinated GLYC
participation in 8 regattas, and brought very inter-
esting topics to the Fleet Captain Lecture series
covering world wide adventures and insightful tech-
nical boating information. Our Rear Commodore
has done an outstanding job of initiating and com-
pleting much needed maintenance around the prop-
erty. Individual Club members have teamed up to
bring us a number of fun events. The Vice Commo-
dore has worked across the staff and membership
to support the various events, bar, and galley op-
erations which are central to everyone’s enjoyment.
I know we all appreciate the time and effort
so many individuals have put forth to make the Club
a fun and attractive place. I also recognize the en-
joyment everyone has working with these various
groups while the by-products is bringing something
to life at GLYC. It is a win / win combination!
Mike Odom, Commodore
The Vice’s Voice
September was a month full of sur-prises and near misses. Thank Heavens we missed Irma, or rather, Irma missed us. Keep your friends in the rest of Florida in your thoughts and prayers, and keep your fingers crossed as we make our way through the rest of hurricane season. October is going to start with a cov-ered dish celebration of the upcoming mar-riage of Dodge and Misty. Georgia and Mary Ann are hosting this event on Mon-day, October 2, from 5-8 p.m. They have requested that you bring your favorite cov-ered dish along with the recipe on a 3x5 card. The food will be shared by the atten-dees, and the cards will be compiled into a book for the happy couple. Fall is in the air, and that means Hal-loween! Put on your favorite ghost get-ups for the Ghost Busters party on the 27th. Don't have a ghost outfit? No problem! Ghosts come in all shapes, sizes, historical eras, and life forms. Let your imagination go wild. See you around the Club!
Countess Guiles, Vice Commodore
Remember to sign all of your guests in! Florida liquor laws require members of private clubs to sign in and re-main with guests at all times. Failure to do this can result in the loss of our license. Also, we have changed our sign-in book. We ask that you list your name, GLYC number, your guests names and their email addresses. Maybe we can pick up a new member or two!

2018 Elections .The time is coming up for the election of
next year's team members who will set the
vision, coordinate activities, and the busi-
ness of our club. I encourage each member
to consider your skills, time, and talent. De-
cide if 2018 is your year of giving back to
the club by taking on a leadership position.
Reach out to any board member or commit-
tee chair and get their insight. Commit to a
larger cause, it goes by quicker than you
can image.

Pricing Change for Non-Members
We have had a lot of guests in the club
which is excellent and in no way do we want to
discourage their interest in the club. It is
through guests visiting the club that we gain
new members and meet new friends. The board
is keenly aware of the value to you as members,
and the club as a whole, when we can have
guests participate in our enjoyment and enrich-
ing our lives.
However, it is likely that you all may not
know how much our services, drinks and meals
are subsidized by our dues. The board has wres-
tled with this issue and decided we would ask
guests, who are enjoying the club, to aid us in
this subsidy. Our first desire would be that they
submit an application for membership, but until
they make that decision we have decided to add
a 20% surcharge to all payments made without
a member number.
We will add information to the menu and
begin this process in September. Please help our
guests understand the reasons for this and how
much we appreciate their support.
Lecture Series – The Rest of the Story with Ed and Sharon Barger–Wednesday, Oct 18th, at6:30 pm. In June Sharon and Ed presented the first couple of years living on their boat in the Bahamas. They will continue the story and include their stops in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The first half was fascinating, funny and amaz-ing. Don’t miss Part 2! GLYC Sailing Team–We have com-pleted eight regattas which was our goal for the year. Our next regatta is at Fairhope on September 30th and Oct 1st. Islanders Raft-Up – Destin Seafood Festival–The Islanders will leave on Oct. 6th and spend that night in Na-varre, then continue on to the Destin Harbor for several nights to attend the Destin Seafood Festival. From there some boats are continuing on to Pa-nama City and Port St. Joe while others will be returning to Pensacola. Please see Terry Smith for additional informa-tion. Kayaking Every Thursday Morning at 8:30 – Contact Susan Arner if you have any questions about this.

We have had a very hot and humid month. Hope all have stayed cool. We had the I-beams painted on the ground floor. It looks a lot better but they missed several spots and are coming back to redo and make it right. We have some pilings and finger piers that need to be replaced and or re-paired. There are several wet slips on the east and west sides of the dock. There are a couple of dry slips available for a jet ski and a small boat. If you are interested, see me. Please do not block the loading/unloading area on the dock. Pets must be kept on a short leash. Please clean up behind them. See you on the wa-
ter. Jimmy Taylor, Rear Commodore
P.S. Remember, Club members can use the transient slip for over night

CRAPPY CRAFTER CORNER
Another amazing Crappy Crafter gathering on the 12th. Thanks to Vicki for leading us in a fun filled day making pumpkin wall hangings. We had fourteen of us making cute pumpkins of all varieties. Should have gotten a picture of our creations. After cleaning up our messes, we headed to Fisherman’s Corner for another hour of fun and laughs. Our October gathering will be a ride on the Pirate Ship on the 10th. We have 20 already signed up so if’n ya want to go, please get in touch with Cheri or Jeanne ASAP. It’s only $35.00 for a fun filled ride, then lunch with the bunch. Cheri will be emailing details soon. Our Biloxi trip was a great success, thanks, again, to our Bartender, Georgia, her bar backs, Mike and Marti, Marti for the Mimosas, Dean for her famous Rum Punch, Staff for the Bloody Marys, me for the cheese cake shots, and Meg and Shari for their snacks. There were more snacks, cookies and rice crispy treats brought by some of the Snugbugs but didn’t get the names of the bringers. Thanks, y’all for all your help. Could-n’t have done it without ya. Hope our first-timers, the Snug Bugs, had fun and will return again. The winners for Bingo were Bob Grabham, Ethan Hoffman, and Dean Hoffman. d Emma Robinson got the 50/50. On the ride back we had Norma Jolly, Marilyn Donelan, and Tony Derusseau as winners of Bingo. Our next Biloxi trip, well, D Iberville, will be to the Scarlett Pearl. Their free play is $20.00 with a half off buffet. Not sure of the date yet, but it won’t be too long. If y’all have any input, please let me know. Our October Birthday girls are Carolyn on the 13th, Dean on the 14th, Kathy Mc on the 22nd, and Lee on the 24th. Make it memorable. Happy crafting y’all, Kathy

Reminder - $25 Minimum Monthly Fee for Bar/Galley
Please be aware that the Grand Lagoon Yacht Club imposes a $25 minimum monthly fee for the bar/galley. This means that each “member number” must spend a minimum of $25 each month for this fee to be waived. Example: A member spends $10 for the month on either bar or galley but has not met the monthly minimum of $25. This member will be assessed the $25 minimum monthly fee on their next invoice.
