The Club’s tradition of giving back to our community continued in many ways in May.

Thanks to PC Tish Wold and Khris Turpin for bringing us a wonderful “Spring Fling” event to benefit the Haven, a non-profit organization in Clearwater that directs resources to people facing hunger, homelessness, domestic violence and the lack of basic needs. Our members donated hundreds of items, as well as funds, to make this another wonderfully new and success-ful event that we hope to continue each year.

Our 26th Annual ‘Bee Bee’ ARC Fun Day was Spectacular! Our CYC staff and membership worked together to make this event a success. Huge thanks to PC Roland Milam, for heading up the donation effort; PC Johnny Cardosi, who handled food prep and serving; Helen and Joe Correia, for donating the guests shirts, Lynne Shackelford, who organized shirt distribution; the Clearwa-ter aquarium for supplying boat rides; and JR, who kept our guests dancing. Thanks as well to every member who donated time and money to make the ARC Fun Day the best ever! I was honored, as your Commodore, to present a check on behalf of CYC to The ARC of Tampa Bay for $15,000. That’s a record for us!

We finished out the month with Troop Rewards. This not-for-profit organization started after a local Clearwater Beach suite owner, Tom Burkett, got an overseas call in 2009 from an Army private inquir-ing about renting a suite on Clearwater Beach to celebrate a belated honeymoon and re-entry into society after a long, stressful time from his overseas deployment. Burkett arranged everything for the reunion for free as a thank you for defending our country’s freedom.

Troop Rewards started in 2009. Since 2015, CYC has participated by putting on two farewell barbecues at the Tiki each year for Troop Rewards families. Other businesses and luxury hotels on Clearwater Beach are also contributing to the program.

We all should take pride in CYC’s involvement and leadership by giving back to charitable organizations in our community. Let’s keep it growing!

See you around the club!

CommodorePhil Beauchamp

lasT monTh saw the start of our Summer Membership drive. This is an excel-lent opportunity for people to try out the club before joining.

Do you have a place of business in the area? If so, would you be willing to display some brochures for the Summer Membership promotion? If yes, please let Virginia know so that copies can be made for you. Use something to “stamp” the brochure with your name. For every summer member who signs up from your busi-ness, you will receive a free drink or Tiki token. If that summer member becomes a member at the end of the promotion, you will receive $100 in CYC gift certificates.

For all our new summer members, welcome! Please be on the lookout for Summer Membership Sundays! I believe that we have the best club around, and I take every opportunity to share that with people I meet. I hope that all of us, as members of CYC are ambassadors who share the great attributes that CYC has to offer. Please encourage people to come visit.

If you ever have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me at AmieAMC@icloud.com. Also, think about joining the Membership Committee. We meet the first Wednesday of every month in the Board Room. Our next meeting is June 5 at 6:30 p.m.

hello from waTersIde! With the weather and water heating up, more of us are using our boats and the club. It’s great to see members sprucing up their boats and getting out more often. Some needed repairs will be made in the upcoming days to some of our docks and pilings, and a long-range plan is in the early stages.If you’re looking for more ways to enjoy CYC, try joining us for occasional sunset cruises, as well as adventures at the sailing center. Check out its summer camp programs. Act fast on those as they are nearly sold out. Also, the Sailing Center can use volunteer help if anyone’s interested.That’s it for now. See you at the Tiki Hut!

are You readY for a fun, new event? We have just the evening for you Sat-urday, June 15—the Catalina Wine Mixer. What is a Catalina Wine Mixer, you ask? Think back to one of the funniest Will Ferrell movies ever, “Stepbrothers.” Remember the great party at the end of the film and you’ll be ready for our very own Catalina Wine Mixer on the Tiki Deck. We’ll have wine and drink specials (that’s right, a Catalina Wine Mixer is about all kinds of fun, not just wine), dinner and danc-ing. Our very own and very talented member, Paul Greenhalgh, will be spinning the tunes to keep us on the dance floor.

Castaway Day Away…Imagine the enjoyment you’ll have on Three Rooker Island with all your CYC buddies. Join us for food, games, music and all out fantastic day June 22. No member will be left behind, so if you don’t have a boat, let the CYC office know, and we will find you a way to travel in style to Three Rooker. Our fleet might just have to gather on land at the Tiki Bar after our Castaway Day Away because, after all, it’s thirsty work being a castaway.

Mark your calendar for Smooth Jazz Sunday June 9. Phone in your reservations in advance because this crowd pleaser is a sell-out event.

Featured Band Friday will be a real treat June 28. For the first time, dueling pianos take the stage at CYC. Be ready to sing along, laugh, request your favorite tunes, laugh—and then laugh some more.

May was certainly a good time month. We kicked it off back-to-back events: the Kentucky Derby Party followed the next day by our Cinco de Mayo Fiesta. The Hot Rod Hor-nets were a great start to the Memorial Day weekend Friday, May 24. Everyone enjoyed recognizing the Pinellas County landmarks as we watched “Summer Rental” at the pool Sat-urday, May 25. We finished the holiday weekend with our traditional BBQ Memorial Day, May 27.

HouSe and GrouNDSYour house & Grounds Committee continues to work in the background to keep our “Lady” ready for members. The new phones and TV cov-erage for the docks are installed—and by all feedback—working to everyone’s satisfaction. We are still having problems but working with Spectrum to deliver the consistent Wi-fi we need for our members and visitors. The board has confi-dence we will achieve this.

This major project has many moving parts and will require the club be closed between August 19-26. The club will reopen, Tuesday, August 27. While the club is closed, the Tiki bar and pool will be open during normal operating hours. However, the kitchen will not be open. Plans are being hatched for the weekends involved; we will keep everyone up to date as the renovation gets closer.

We hope to be visually moving forward in our landscaping efforts within weeks of you reading this Compass edition. Plants and costs still need to be determined, but with the efforts of Cheryl Schulz and the University of Florida Extension, we continue in our efforts to beautify and add curb appeal to CYC.

A problem we have been dealing with is a persis-tently high water bill. We have finally been able to narrow the problem down to the pool area. We have hired a professional to find and repair the leak. We continue to work on the “touch up” list, trying to stay ahead of the necessary small items that always need attention.

Many of you have helped by emailing me, letting me know about problems as you see them. I encourage you to continue—the more eyes on the problems, the better chance we will get them resolved.

The same is true about our service and restaurant. Most of the comment cards are very positive, but I know we have problems from time to time. I encour-age all members to speak out, use the comment cards or email me. Please let us know what we are doing wrong or what can be improved. It’s your club, and we are here to serve you as a member.

House and Grounds meets at 6:00 p.m. the first Tuesday of each month. Our next meeting is June 4. All members are not only welcome but encouraged to attend. Please join us!

It’s your club…. don’t be a stranger!

IT’s ThaT TIme of year again when many of our Gulls leave the Nest for the summer. Some of us will still meet in the Nest every Wednesday around 10:30-11:00 a.m. to socialize, maybe play dominoes and then have lunch in the Main Dining Room at noon. Please feel free to join us early or just come for lunch.

Watch for next season’s news in the fall.

5June 2019 CYC Compass

ThIs summer the Indian Rocks Family Sailing Association (IRFSA), based at CYC, is offering four full day sailing sessions. We offer a high quality, yet afford-able, program aimed at teaching the basics of small boat sailing with an intentional focus on the virtues of teamwork, compassion, patience and perseverance. All sessions are full day with graduation at 11 a.m. on the last day of each session.

Session dates are as follows: Summer Youth Sailing Session 1: June 3-14 Race 101: Intro to Sailboat Racing: June 24-28 Summer Youth Sailing Session 2: July 8-19 Advanced Sailing: July 22-August 2We are a volunteer-run organization and always look-

ing for help. No specific skills are required; any amount of time that you can provide is valuable. It can be as simple as stopping by at lunchtime and telling some sailing stories or helping with learning knots.

If you are out on the water or at CYC and see our Intrepid Sailors, please give them a wave or shout of encouragement.

For more information about volunteering or pro-grams, contact us at FamilySailingFun@gmail.com. follow us on facebook www.facebook.com/indian-rocksfamilysailing to get updates and see photos and videos of our sailors.

maY’s rePorT from the Cruisers was missing because we were on our cruise to St. Petersburg at the deadline for the Compass. So—let’s get everyone up to date. The Cruisers, 16 boats total, spent four fun-filled days at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club in downtown St. Pete April 25-28. Festivities began shortly after we docked on Thursday with a Dock Party, good food and good times! Afterward some members attended a Broadway production of “Mama Mia” outdoors in the park. Friday the activities started with an afternoon of shuffleboard at one of the oldest and largest clubs in the country, followed by happy hour and a wonder-ful dinner put on by the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. Saturday consisted of the downtown St. Pete Farmers Market with din-ner that night at 400 Beach Seafood and Tap House. Sunday concluded our weekend activities with a beautiful brunch at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club. Many thanks to our hostess for the weekend, Joan Carter.

By the time you will be reading this, our group will be off on our longest trip of the year, a three-week voyage to the Keys, staying in Marathon and Key West, May 23-June 13.

The next Cruisers meeting is June 18 at 6:30 p.m. Please join us!Bon voyage and keep it between the navigational beacons!

BENEFIT

L-R: Deb Mattson, Abbey Heimensen, Amie Crosby, Khris Turpin, PC Tish Wold, Haven Executive Director, Lola Blevins

by PC Tish woldThe ParTY’s tagline was “Drop (off) your Drawers” and boy did we!

A beautiful late April evening downstairs on the Tiki deck--with a great band to get us dancing the night away—set the scene for CYC’s Spring Fling party April 28. The night was a blast, including a drink contest with our own favorite bartenders, Christian and Gage.

Most of all, our members came out to offer a HUGE amount of support to The Haven, a local shelter for victims of domes-tic violence. Our very generous members and friends donated auction items, $2,000 in cash, over $200 in gift cards, along with $8,000 worth of underwear, clothing and toiletries for women and children. All of these were delivered May 1. The Haven staff was amazed at the donations given to their program.

Big thanks to everyone who supported this party, espe-cially to the Haven Angels: Christy Crist, Amie Crosby, Abbey Heimensen, Deb Mattson, Olivia Prince, Khris Turpin, and PC Tish Wold, for organiz-ing the event!

Look for this party to become a CYC tradi-tion in years to come!

Chaplain’s Log

oVer The PasT 40 years, P.T. and I have sailed the waters from Maine to Bermuda, and Long Island to Clear-water. Along the way, we’ve experienced the awesome power of the Atlantic Ocean, and we’ve learned to enjoy the beauty of a seemingly endless horizon for days on end.

Those sailing days are over now, at least for the time be-ing, but we have discovered that opportunities to voyage far away and experience that seemingly endless horizon are still waiting for us.

As I write my Chaplain’s Log this month, my wife and I are sitting onboard our RV located in the Arizona desert roughly 2,000 feet above sea level. This is a layover day due to high winds (approx 40 knots). We have just returned from three days at the Grand Canyon more than 7000 feet above sea level with humidity levels as low as 12%.

We’ve experienced an amazing change of scenery on that route which has taken us from desert and cactus to a snow-capped mountain and pine forests. The topography has changed, and we’ve voyaged to locations we never would have thought possible twenty years ago—one im-portant aspect remains unchanged and that is the wonder-ful people we meet along the way.

Indeed, whether at anchor or an RV Park, long distance voyaging is a metaphor for life itself, reminding us in countless ways that what matters most remains the same: it is the family, friends and fellow travelers we meet along the way who always make the voyage worth the effort. May your life’s voyage continue to be filled with the bless-ings of nothing less!

Wishing you “fair winds” and “happy trails!”Fr Bob frbob.wagenseil@gmail.com
