For the Commodore’s Ball, the Tenth Time’s the Charm
n January 27-29, the Back Creek Yacht Club enjoyed its Commodore’s Ball weekend at the Westin Park Place in Annapolis (right). On January 28, about 70 members enjoyed a pre-tested chef’s dinner menu with wine, cheered the installation of new officers, and danced the evening away to the awesome band, Robin & the Rhythmix. The silent auction featured great gifts at opportune prices, from boat items to weekend vacation rentals. Hosts for the evening were Pam and John Loving and Ray Blake and Brenda Ripley. Our new officers are commodore Steve Bacon, vice commodore John Loving, rear commodore Bill Kranzer, fleet captain John Yates, secretary Karen Kranzer, and treasurer Mary Bowie. Shay Collins and Mary Ross were elected to join Ted Edmunds, Jamie Ritter, Dale Schulz, and J. J. Sullivan on the board of governors. The second annual Mardi Gras Party at Bay Hills Gold Club in Arnold, MD, will feature a French-themed dinner February 18. Come join the fun; check for events and membership details for 2012 at backcreekyc.org. —by Otto Hetzel
