kickoff to the
boating season. In recent years our September meeting has
been changed to Sunday and the island club where this
meeting is held has extended an invitation to all attending
the use of their facility for that particular weekend.
October is another Sunday meeting and again the island club
where this meeting is held offers up a full weekend for
those wishing to go by boat. However, unlike other Island
meetings held throughout the summer, this one can still be
accessed by car.
The last major ABYA event for the year is held on the first
Saturday of December. This is our annual Commodores
Christmas Ball and has had attendance reach over 700
individuals.
Our November meeting is the most important of the year, as
far as the future of the ABYA is concerned. It is at this
meeting that the delegates have the opportunity to vote for
one individual who will fill the open position of
Secretary and eventually move the ABYA in the direction that was set
by our first Commodore and his Bridge.
The Anchor Bay Yachting Association has prided itself
in doing many things for the good of the boating community
in general. Projects taken on by the ABYA over the years
have been: Implementing the plan that resulted in the
dredging of the Clinton River and the construction of the
harbor entrance at the mouth of the Clinton River;
Organizing a cleanup of Gull Island with all the debris
being carried away; Providing a large number of workers for
the Clinton River Cleanup; Petitioning the Coast Guard to
place markers in North Channel earlier in the spring; Being
instrumental in getting the Coast Guard to reposition Pointe
Huron Buoy #1, making it easier to pick up range markers at
Metro Beach; Organizing a Town Meeting, with the DNR
invited, for the purpose of guaranteeing the placement of
pump out stations at convenient locations; Purchasing |
