Paw Paw Lake Yacht Club NEWSLETTER SPRING 2008 Spring seems to have finally arrived especially at the club. We had a great turn out for clean-up day and everything looks wonderful. Thank you all. I wanted to name everyone that was there but there isn’t enough space and I don’t want to miss anyone. I do want to say a special thanks to Jerry Ruff for the fans that are now installed outside! We had a great Cinco D’Mayo party to kick off the season. A big thank you to Jackie & Bill Forrester and their committee. WEBSITE: You can now see the Newsletter and Calendar on the website.

Applications will be out next week. COMING UP: Watch for flyers on the big Western/turkey party on June 14^th, Commodore Dinner Dance on June 28^th. Pig Roast on July 4^th, Amazing race July 6^th. Julie Sheerin is hinting at a very special party July 12^th. I think “Speakeasy” is in the name. PLEASE NOTE: Many times the subject of how to save tables at a Yacht club party comes up. It is certainly understandable that you want to sit with your friends and family. The best way to do this is to get a place card when you arrive at the club for the event. Write your name and number of people that will be sitting at your table and place in on the table. Watch for your party to arrive and advise them of the table arrangements. If they don’t arrive or are sitting somewhere else please change the card right away. It is also ok to leave personal items on the chair or table to save it. Please do NOT tip chairs as it is a hazard to those walking by the tables. Thanks for your cooperation. Mike

PPLYC July/August Newsletter
PAW PAW LAKE YACHT CLUB NEWSLETTER JULY/AUGUST 2008 First a message from Rick Rasmussen on the PPLYC History Project: To help folks write their 1to 2 page double spaced family history, think of the letter W as a format. Who are you? Where did you come from? Where did you live on Paw Paw Lake. Why did you come to PPL. When did you come to the lake. What connection to the lake or people brought you here? Just remember every family and member has a story to tell in regards to the lake and the yacht club from new folks to 100 year plus families. Any questions, call me at 468-9337, see me at the club, or e-mail me at Rick@swmichiganstore.com .
