A Walk Through History continued
Minutes from the first meeting of the Club
to come back whenever you have a spare moment. Chairs are provided to encourage relaxation, and your presence is welcome any time the Club is open, free of charge. The Grosse Pointe Yacht Club has a long and storied history - one that every member should be aware of. Knowing some of that 107-year journey, with all its ups and downs and twists and turns, will make you prouder to be a member. The Heritage Gallery is the work of the Club’s Heritage Committee, established by Com. Ilja Vreeken and chaired by member Joe Schmitt. Committee members include Linda and Joe Schaden, Com. William and Sue Vogel, Dr. Larry
