Big Things Happening!

As I write this letter, I think about how fortunate we are to be in such a strong position heading into this fall season. We are just finishing our major renovation projects of the Spinnaker, Lobby, Main Dining Room, and Rotunda. The new Spinnaker has been a howling success amongst our membership with its refined menu and updated décor.

And we are eagerly anticipating reopening the Main Dining Room with a new casual, family-friendly setting featuring an amazing bar in the center of the venue. We also just signed the contract to kick off our Harbor Renovation which will include Tee Dock, Bridge Dock, Moby Dock, Gas Dock, Hickory Dock, and replacement of the Drawbridge. Our boat owners have been waiting for this for some time and we are proud to be delivering on that promise. Construction will begin on November 1 and conclude in time to receive your boats next spring. Please also note that our Trap Shooting will be taking place on the South Wall during the construction period. If you haven’t tried Trap Shooting at GPYC, make sure to stop by any Saturday and Sunday and enjoy an experience like no other. Watch the Weekly Buzz for events, tournaments, and leagues.

On top of all of these projects, our membership has seen unprecedented growth and high activity levels. Your Board of Directors and Management Team are devoted to bringing you the finest Yacht Club experience and are always pleased to hear your comments and constructive criticism, which is why we sent our Annual Survey in September. Thank you to everyone who participated. The survey is where we get many of the ideas for new projects and it assists our management team so we can tailor our services to what you and your family enjoy the most. Our team is going to compile the results in a report which you will receive soon. Please be sure to review this and the VISION 2026 Plan to stay informed on the present and future happenings.

Stay Safe, Happy and Healthy,

COMMODORE’S CORNER Vision 2026 On November 11, it will be my pleasure to take the helm as the 89th Commodore of the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. Thank you to Commodore Gary Marowske for his leadership over the past year. He led us through several amazing and transformational projects, including the Spinnaker, Foyer, and Main Dining Room renovations. In addition, he led us to the largest Harbor transformation the Club has ever embarked upon. Commodore Marowske did a tremendous job, and I thank him on behalf of the entire Club.

into our Club’s operation.

Looking forward to the Annual Meeting, we will welcome our newest member to our Board of Directors, Mr. William Turner. We are excited for his input and insight

Our strategic planning, led by Director Rick Lueders, continues to give the Board a long-term road map for the Club. Named VISION 2026, the plan details the Board’s goals for the next five years. With the entire Board fully committed to the sequence and timing of the VISION 2026 projects, members will be sure to see continual improvement in all aspects of the Club. Capital improvements this year will be based on availability of funds, as well as those monies from our 501(c)(3) tax deductible foundation lead by Jim Mestdagh and Dave Breen.

We have many new committees beginning this year, but I would like to point out two that are very exciting. The Entertainment Programming Committee will focus on planning the music, lighting, and video at nine venues throughout our Club. Information about scheduled entertainment will be available on the GPYC app so that members can plan their fun activities at the Club. The Culinary Excellence Committee will focus on providing valuable feedback to the Culinary Staff of the Club helping to drive our dining experience to the highest level.

As we continue to implement the remainder of the projects illustrated in VISION 2026, the theme this year is to focus on what I call “A Culture of Respect”. With all the challenges we face in the world today, now more than ever we all need an oasis of friendship, fun, and fabulous food. That place is the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club.

Finally, I would like to thank you for your support and wish that everyone remains healthy and safe. Remember, GPYC is a year-round Club. We wish you an early Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

God Bless,

Jason Grobbel Commodore

Staff Holiday Fund

This is the time of year when members can express appreciation for the kindness, courtesy and dedication of the staff at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. This is particularly true regarding the many behind-the-scenes staff members who do not share in gratuities, but who nevertheless contribute to the overall excellence of the Club. From the cooks and dishwashers in the kitchen, to the setup crews in catering, to the administrative, housekeeping, maintenance, security and Harbor staff – all are deserving of your holiday generosity. You may email your gift amount to cbuffa@gpyc.org or rhauff@gpyc.org. Forms, which can be mailed or dropped off at the Club, were also mailed out to those members who receive their statement via mail. For those who receive their statements via email, a form will be attached to their monthly statement email. Donations are accepted through Friday, December 17, 2021.

Holiday Hours

The Clubhouse will be closed to members on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day.

Let the GPYC culinary team cook a delicious holiday feast for you, leaving you with all the joy of the holiday and none of the mess in your kitchen.

Orders will be available on both Wednesday, November 24 and Thursday, November 25, for pick up at 12 p.m., 1 p.m. or 2 p.m.

Matthew has been promoted to Banquet Chef after serving as the Banquet Sous Chef for the past year. He attended the Culinary Institute of America in New York.

He spent time working on Sea Island in Georgia and on a private yacht in New Jersey. He then came back to Michigan, where he worked at Selden Standard before finding his home at the GPYC.

Samantha Stackpoole, Sous Chef

Sean started his hospitality career in 2002 at the Radisson Plaza Kalamazoo while attending Western Michigan University.

After graduating, he moved to Texas and worked for several hotels including the Hyatt Regency San Antonio, Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort, the Driskill and the Sheraton Austin. When Sean moved back to Michigan in 2013, he worked at the Marriott Southfield and later the Marriott Romulus.

In 2014, Sean entered the club world at the Detroit Athletic Club.

Promotions Alexa Coole, Executive Assistant and Fun Director Samantha has spent her culinary career working in fine dining around Detroit and in Portland, Oregon. Her favorite cuisines to cook are Italian, Chinese and Indian.

She was drawn to the GPYC because of the tight knit crew in the kitchen and the chance to have creative freedom in the kitchen.

Membership Matters

MATTERS

Even though we had a successful year of recruitment, there is still room for growth!

Before you know it, the Clubhouse will be decorated for the holidays and celebrations will be underway. As we head into the holiday season, keep the GPYC in mind for gatherings with family and friends. The more we showcase the updated renovations and demonstrate exceptional service, the better the opportunity to recruit members.

Speaking of the holidays, consider shopping online with the Grog Shop for some great gifts. Additionally, GPYC apparel will be available during Sunday Brunches in the month of December.

Watch The Weekly Buzz for in person shopping dates.

Finally, I always like to remind parents of children in their 20’s to consider giving a “gift of membership” as an alternative to a Christmas gift. The initiation fee for a Legacy membership is only $750 and monthly dues are only $135. This is an incredible value for a lifetime membership at the GPYC. I hope you all have happy holidays!

Susan Hughes Membership Director

“All I want for

Christmas is a GPYC Membership!

Everyone needs to slow down and enjoy what truly matters, like spending time with family and friends in a safe environment.

From children, young professionals, families and empty nesters, to everyone in between, GPYC’s amenities are plentiful and can be enjoyed by all.

Refer a candidate for membership and receive a $500 credit on your GPYC statement.

For more information contact Membership Director Susan Hughes at shughes@gpyc.org

SPORTS Fitness Center

Avoiding holiday weight gain may sound as feasible as the Lions winning a Super Bowl. The holiday season is one for celebrating, laughing, eating, drinking, and reconnecting with loved ones near and afar. So go ahead, pass the eggnog, but here are three tips your waistline will thank you for after Santa comes down the chimney and we ring in 2022.

1.) Moderation- I can’t stress this enough. We all have cheat days, myself included. However, if I have a night of pizza and beer, I will make sure I eat clean and exercise the following day. A good rule to follow is the 1:1 ratio. If you find yourself eating unhealthy one day, make sure you eat right the following day.

2.) Limit mixed drinks- Many members come into the Fitness Center and ask me if they do drink, what would I recommend? Clear liquor like vodka with soda, hard seltzer, and light beer are the best options if you are watching your waistline. Mixed drinks such as Moscow mules have 23 grams of sugar in them, which is 76.6% of the daily recommended sugar intake. And if you are a wine drinker, red wine has a much lower sugar content than white wine.

3.) Drink water- Stay hydrated. Water does so much more than quench your thirst. It regulates your body temperature, lubricates joints, aids digestion and nutrient absorption, and detoxifies your body by removing waste products. The daily recommended water intake is 125 ounces.

If you follow these tips, you will be ready to make 2022 your fittest year ever!

As always, please reach out with any comments or questions.

Best in health, Peter Wendzinski Fitness Director

Platform Tennis

As the weather gets colder, take advantage of our Platform Tennis courts. These courts are heated, so they are always cleared and ready for a match!

Platform tennis is a great way to get outside in the winter and enjoy some friendly competition with other members.

Interested in trying out Platform Tennis but have never played before? Contact Racquet Sports Chair Dave Szymanski at davidjudeski@gmail.com, who can connect you with other members who know how to play.

Trap Shooting

Saturdays & Sundays | 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Cost: $15 per round Trap Shooting will take place starting on November 6 on the South Wall. There will be a fire pit, bar and warming station located on the corner of Battleship Row and Lakeside Dock. It’s a great way to get outside in the wintertime and enjoy quality time with fellow members. Reservation slots are available every hour. To reserve a spot, please call the Front Desk at (313) 884-2500.

Due to ammo shortages, we ask that this year members supply their own shotgun shells when participating. Ammunition must be 12 or 20 gage steel shot rounds, no larger than number 7. If inventory becomes available, the Club will once again incorporate it into the program.

Stay tuned for information regarding trap shooting in The Weekly Buzz.

Up Your Alley

Our 2021-22 season is off and rolling.

Scores right out of the gate are big.

Some highlights: Monday Night Men’s League: Charles Molnar had a 279 game and a 762 actual series. Michael Page had a 235 game and was 112 pins over his average.

10

Wednesday Night Men’s & Ladies League: Kevin Granger had a 228 game and a 660 actual series.

Thursday Night Men’s & Ladies League: John Seago had a 245 game and a 656 series. Valentina Izzi had a 163 game and was 121 pins over average.

We have a very busy schedule this coming fall. We have two interclub leagues lined up in November. We are hosting the Red Run Men’s Bowling Club on November 6, and then we host the Lochmoor Club on November 20.

Last season we were unable to compete in any interclub leagues due to COVID. On the evening of November 6, we are hosting a bowling party for our Three Year Club members. If you are part of this Club, sign up with Susan Hughes or email me at gwoods@gpyc.org.

If you are looking for a way to entertain your guests during the holidays, a bowling party is a great way to go. Don’t hesitate because dates and times are going fast. Contact Catering Coordinator Maria Dallas at mdallas@ gpyc.org and let her handle the rest.

Open bowling for members are always on the second and fourth Friday of every month and every Saturday, unless the BRC is booked for a private party. Cost for a lane is $40 per hour and a $5 shoe rental fee. Stay tuned to The Weekly Buzz for updates on open bowling.

We still have a few lanes available for open bowling on Wednesday and Thursday, December 29 and 30 from 12-10 p.m.

Email me to reserve a lane.

I hope to see you in the BRC. Gordy Woods Director of Bowling

HARBOR

While we wrap up another wonderful season of boating and Harbor happenings, we look forward to many new things to come. Taking a look back at the summer, there were quite a few successful events that took place. From fishing rodeos and rendezvous’ to MICSA Swim Finals and the annual Fleet Review, we had a dedicated staff who kept our Harbor looking great and concierge service running smoothly.

Thank you to all for your support this year!

In the upcoming months, you will receive information regarding lease contracts for the 2022 season. Please return these to me by December 1 and be sure that GPYC is listed as an additional insured entity, per usual. If you have any questions, please let me know. In January, you can expect the first Harbor Posting for available wells and jet ski pods.

HAPPENINGS

Hickory, Gas, Moby, Bridge and Tee docks will all be replaced completely, as well as the Draw Bridge. Soon you will be able to check the Club’s website for live video updates and construction updates. Please be careful of the access to certain areas and keep clear of active sites to ensure the safety of everyone.

The holidays are upon us, and I wish you and your families a wonderful season.

Stay healthy, enjoy your families and I look forward to the excitement and updates that 2022 will bring.

Alex Turner Harbor Master

As major construction projects throughout the Club are taking place, we will also have some work taking place in the Harbor.
