It’s is very refreshing to see the members out using the club again.
Coming Soon… Our Annual Valentines Lobster Dinner was a great success. Our
New memories to be made… Sunday Brunch, Wednesday Pasta and Friday Night Dinner are
slowly but definitely building back up. I would like to recognize and
congratulate Chef RJ Jones and Lilli Nolte they have both stepped
up to the plate and are delivering quality product and services to
our membership. They are a great addition to our GYC Team!
The Interior Restoration of the Club is moving along smoothly. The
completion of the interior painting is nearly completed. Starting
Monday March 15 the interior flooring project of the entire 2nd
floor will start. During this phase of the project we will need to
close down accordingly to provide the time needed by the Contrac-
tor to complete the job correctly, efficiently and safely for our
members. We tentatively have a reopening date of Friday, April
2nd. We will offer a few curbside services with a pop up bar during
this short construction phase. Sunday Fried Catfish March 21 and
28, Spaghetti and Meatballs To-Go Wednesday March 24 and 31.
Thank you for your continued support and patience during this
time.

Buildings & Ground Committee Report
George Pearce Hopkins IV, Chairman
Below are some updates of the work being done around the club. With the insurance settled up we can get
moving on creating at better GYC.
Interior Paint - Should be nearing completion.
Interior Floor - on the schedule to start with rip out of carpet in the Ballroom any March 15th.
Walls - Michael Hage has formed a committee to strategically place all of the pictures/flags/plaques
back up on the wall.
Doors - Still leaking with wind driven rain. William Vankirk ordered some astragals as a test. Donnie
installed them on the east Chart Room doors last week. If they work, we will order more for the other
doors. $60/door. Good news though, the new flooring is vinyl and glued down, shouldn’t get damaged
by water.
Roof - Mandal’s completed their inspection. Roofing panels on the east and south side were damaged
and remain loose. They said they are waterproof up to about 50-60 mph winds, anything higher than
that, leaking and further damage to the roof will occur. Repairs should start in 2 weeks.
Deck - Full deck board replacement in progress. A lot of stringers were rotten and broken loose. Krause
is refastening everything down with new materials and replacing stringers as needed. Using a similar
composite deck board by Timbertech, material was ordered last Friday 2/12, could be up to a 10 week
procurement time. Once received, Krause projects approximately 2 weeks to get all new boards in-
stalled.
Anchor bar - Will rebuild at same location but will be bigger, more rectangular. Krause will also run
conduit under the deck to allow electric and network cables to run to the bar.
Pool House - It is painted and looks ready to go! Framing, siding, and new fiberglass door installed, the
old doors were steel and a maintenance nightmare.
Stairs by pool house should be knocked out any day now. Pool house framer is doing them. Cost in-
cluded in the pool house work.

We either need to decide on something for aesthetics or structure, it will
be hard to accomplish both at a reasonable budget. Never too

Powerboat Committee Report
Johnny Marquez, Chairman
After an arctic blast, it feels like spring is finally approaching, and we are ready to kick off some power boat events.
We will be cranking up the Thursday evening speckled trout tournaments on March 4th and have scheduled addi-
tional tournaments for March 18th, April 1st, 15th and 29th. Fishing will start any time after 3 p.m. and partici-
pants must be in line for weigh in by 7:30 on March 4th and 8:00 p.m. on March 18th. The weigh in deadline will
be pushed back as we move later into the spring and the days get longer so watch for updates. The cost for the
tournaments is only $15 per man and all entries are paid back in a 70/30 split for first and second. These tourna-
ments are intended to be fun events so slip out from work a little bit early or come after work.
The weather delayed our completion of the updates to the fish cleaning station, boat launch and piers for the
launch but work is resuming, and you can expect to see a complete facelift by the end of March. We will be repur-
posing the boards from the club deck and using them to update the finger piers at the ramp. New retractable hos-
es and water on both sides of the ramp will also be a nice update for our boaters on those busy days. Many thanks
to all of the members who have continued to donate and volunteer for this effort.
Mark your calendar for upcoming Rendezvous with an early Chandeleur trip on April 23-25 and our annual Ship
Island Rendezvous on May 29th.
