SPRING PARTY AT CAPTAIN BILL’S, March 20, 2005

 

As a sure sign that winter is coming to a close, the BYC will celebrate spring with our annual Cocktail Party to be held on Sunday, March 20, at Captain Bill’s in Bay Shore from 4 p.m. until 7p.m. The cost is $40.00 Per Person with an OPEN BAR.  As usual, this Party is for members only. Gentlemen - jackets and ties, please.

To make a reservation, please call Tom and Chris McGowan at 587-0677 or Paul and Suzanne Greco at 669-5696.

 

FROM THE BOARD:

On a sad note, Sybil Healy (#1 BYC member) passed away on November 23rd.  Sybil was a resident of Babylon for nearly 62 years and a member of the BYC for 60 years.  

 

YEARBOOK COMMITTEE:

If you have any changes for the yearbook, i.e. names or address corrections, boat additions and deletions, etc, please call or email Jill Corbett at 587-1450. Corbatrask@optonline.net  The yearbook committee is also looking for photos for this year’s book.  If you have photos that you would like the committee to consider, please call Bud Caputo at 587-1601 (bud277@optonline.net) or Greg Schneller at 587-6236 (Mirage536@msn.com) and they will arrange to pick them up.  ALL PHOTOS WILL BE RETURNED UPON REQUEST.

 

CLUB ARCHIVES:

In a club so rich in history, there are surely many of you who have pre 1970's pictures of the BYC. We would ask you to share with us any pictures of historical significance that would become part of BYC's permanent archives. The pictures will be digitized and returned to you unharmed, along with our appreciation. Some of them may be featured on our new website. Please contact Pete Capitain, at 661-1783 or by E-Mail on the Website

 

ADMISSIONS: – submitted by John Bell

Now is the time to get the applications to us for the people you are sponsoring for membership so we can start the interviewing process.  If you need applications, please call John Bell at 661-4703 or Pete Capitian at 661-1783.  As a reminder, in order to sponsor or second a prospective member, you must be a member of the Club for at least two years.

 

The BYC has a waiting list and all applications will be numbered. The earlier the process is started, the better the chances are for prospective applicants.

BYC WEB SITE:              http://www.babylonyachtclub.org

A member can now send E Mail to the flag officers, Treasurer or Secretary. The various committee heads can be contacted the same way. The schedule for 2005 will be posted on the site when completed. We will publish current comments and post pictures from recent parties or events on another page when the season starts.  There are some pictures from the winter scene of 2004. The beauty of the Great South Bay frozen as far as the eye can see is spectacular.  Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

TREASURER’S REPORT:

 Invoices for all dues and fees will go out by March 15.  Since we have a substantial debt as a result of the capital improvements that were made last year, your timely payment will enable us to satisfy this liability sooner and save money on interest payments.  The by-laws are on your side until opening day, but I would appreciate any efforts that members can make to pay their dues as soon as possible.
