At the Helm

Commodore Dan Robinson

I want to thank the

membership for responding to

our call for prospective new

members at the New Members

Happy Hour last month.

There were more new

candidates present than I ever

recall during my years at the

club.

Your response proves that

there are people in our

community who want to go

sailing and associate with

sailors. All we need to do is

bring them to the club, and the

club will sell itself. Your

sponsorship of a new member

will benefit CSC for years to

come.

I had the pleasure of

congratulating the award

winners at one of our Youth

Camps in June, and it was

great to see how excited the

children were about sailing

and how much fun they had

at the camp. When I asked

how many of them wanted to

keep sailing, many hands

went up. Of course, I pointed

that out to the parents and

grandparents in attendance.

I want to thank Zoe Dommel,

Dick Dommel's daughter, for

stepping in and being our

Traveling

CSC Logos

We want pictures of CSC

members wearing their

CSC- Logo clothing while

traveling/vacationing.

Add a few sentences

about your trip.

Gary and I went to

Annapolis in early June!

instructor this year. By all

accounts, she did a fantastic

job, and we were fortunate to

have someone with her sailing

and teaching skills to make

this year's camp special. I also

want to thank Charlie Brooks,

our Youth Sailing Chairman!

Charlie is to be congratulated

for running a successful camp

this year. It is a bigger job than

he realized, and he excelled his

first time out. I appreciate his

taking on the task and have a

feeling that my canteen tab

will be much larger for the rest

of the year.

Finally, the July 4th holidays

are upon us; the celebrations

are cranking up. This will be a

special occasion for our club as

we celebrate our 60th

anniversary, the grand

opening of our new beach

house, and Independence Day.

Get out to the club and go

sailing, enjoy the beach, or just

sit on the porch and watch the

boats go by. It’s summertime

on Lake Murray!

See you at the club,

Dan

New Members Happy Hour 2017!

Education

On Saturday, June 10th, CSC

hosted another America’s

Boating Course for teens and

adults. New provisional

member, Hilarie Brush and

her partner, Braxton Sorg,

once again did an excellent job teaching about safe

boating. The class was attended by several teens,

including M Roney, the daughter of Margaret

Clarkson and Peter Roney. She is also the niece of

our Immediate Past Commodore, Andrew

Clarkson. M and the other class members,

including our Entertainment Chair, Emery Clark,

completed the class successfully and received ABC

certificates. This was a very comprehensive,

informative course. CSC is all about safe boating

and this was a great class to learn what we all

should know.

We had 17

students and

most were new

to the club. This

was a great way

to meet our

education

requirements

and showcase our beautiful club!

Membership

You were in luck if you were at CSC on Friday, June

2nd! Alecia Milling and Lee Bell put together a New

Members Happy Hour to remember. The porch was

crowded from end to end with lots of smiling faces!

Many thanks go to everyone who brought delicious

food and wonderful guests. Our Membership

Committee did a great job meeting, greeting and

signing off on new member applications. We signed

eight applications that night which must be some

kind of record! The Membership Committee

includes Bruce Seiffert, Jerry Jowers, Stanley

Hassinger, Robby Garfield, Wayne Smith, Pete

Korn and me. If you have any other new applicants,

please get them to meet us. You will need three of

these committee members and yours truly to meet

new applicants and sign the applications. And

thanks again to Alecia, Lee and CSCA for putting on

a fabulous party!

The Board of Stewards recently voted in two new

provisional members, Amy Howard London, and

Chris Ward. You might recall that Amy is the

daughter of Jerry and Mary Howard and mother of

Bane London. Bane was the winner of the

“Outstanding Junior Sailor Award” last year. Amy

is thrilled to be at CSC! She has lots of wonderful

memories of sailing as a child with her family. Chris

is very passionate about sailing and is a SCUBA

Diving Instructor. Clearly, he loves the water! He

also loves photography. He was a member of the

College of Charleston Sailing Club, where he sailed

J/22’s. He is sponsored by Bruce Seiffert. Please

introduce yourself to Amy and Chris and welcome

them to the CSC family!

Ben has sailed on

Sunfish, Lasers 420’s, Y-Flyer’s and you name it! He

Simons III. A “Jack of all Trades,” Ben is eager to

help on CSC projects. Having many wonderful

memories of CSC as a youth, Ben hopes to be able to

join the club as an adult!

Our trip to Annapolis, Maryland… Temperatures were rising and our son

Charles needed the air conditioner for his

liveaboard Bristol 35.5! Although cool

while we were there, it was noticeably

hotter when we were leaving. While in

Annapolis, we enjoyed a day-sail on a new

Beneteau 41.1. Gary and Charles removed

and re-bedded the bow pulpit on the

Bristol 35.5. (Charles is a firm believer in

butyl tape as a bedding compound.)

*Take a photo wearing your CSC logo

clothing/hats while on vacation. We want

to feature members’ pictures and travels.

The Rear Commodore’s Report Rear Commodore David Mosely

The summer dinghy sailing series in in full swing,

however the wind

Gods have not been so

nice. But, the food has

been! Special thanks to

Pat Freeman and

Marybeth Mahrer for

some really excellent

meals and desserts that even dieters couldn't pass

up! If you have a Sunfish, laser, or want to sail one,

come on out and let us help you get started.

Columbia Sailing Club’s youth sailing camps were

awesome again this year. Thanks to many people:

Charlie Brooks, Dick and Zoe Dommel, and a host

of young sailors, most of whom have participated in

the camp before. There was a lot of coordination,

nail biting about the new beachhouse opening, and

getting all those kids to get out and lose that fear of

the boom hitting their heads. There were many

smiles and many appreciative parents the two days

I spent with the kids. Thanks to all who helped and

all who participated.

I hope to see you on the water soon!

CSC Auxiliary News President Kim Milling

The longer days of summer are finally here, and

that means more time

to enjoy hanging out at

the lake and having

fun. FUN was

definitely the order of

the evening for the

New Members Happy

Hour in June. Thank

you to Alecia Milling and Lee Bell for planning

and hosting a great party!

The new Beach House is finished and open for

use. The Auxiliary added some finishing touches

with new shower curtains and trash cans, and

over the coming months will be working with

committee to determine what others items, such

as furniture that might be needed.

As part of CSC's 60th anniversary celebration, the

Auxiliary is offering a special edition t-shirt

designed by Jim Edwards. There will be a limited

amount so if you want one make sure to get your

reservation in to Diane Augsburger. The t-shirts

will be available at the July 4th celebration on

Saturday July 1st.

Since the Auxiliary had the summer off, our next

meeting will be September 12th.

Have a fun and safe summer! 😎 See you on the

beach.

Come and be part of something “Great!”
