The Scuttlebutt - October, 2002 Return To Newsletters
Commodore Report A s you are reading this issue of the Scuttlebutt we will be preparing for our Change of Watch honoring our incoming Officers, Board and Princess for 2003. I hope that you will join us for dinner and the ceremony on October 18th, 7 pm, at Sparrows Point Country Club. Please be sure to phone or email your reservations to April Geisler to be included.This is my last article as Commodore and I want to use it to thank all the people in this Club who have helped me, not only over the past year, but over the past years that I have been a Member and an Officer. Without those people to guide me, help me, and tell me when I've done wrong I could not have done anything. I have truly enjoyed being an Officer of this Club and hope that all of you who have not had the pleasure of serving this Club give it a try in some way. Officers are usually the more visible of the Board, however, the rest of the Board (Board Members, Treasurer, Secretary, Fleet Surgeon, Fleet Chaplain and the other appointed committee heads) are an intricate part of the governship of this Club. Being an Officer is much more than putting an "ice cream" outfit on and trying to stay clean. Not only are you involved in the leadership of our Club but you are also a representative to our sister Clubs. I know that I have met so many wonderful people around the Bay that will remain friends for a long, long time. I have also enjoyed representing our Club at the many Commodore Balls and Openings this past year. The Balls are always a great social time to honor the incoming Commodores and see many of your fellow Officers from other Clubs. The Openings were such fun! And to top that off, I had the honor of escorting our beautiful Princess Laura Kaelber to many of these Openings. Princess Laura always represented this Club with grace and dignity. Thank you Laura for allowing me to escort you so many times this past year and for being such a wonderful Princess. I am happy to say that many of the "Class of 2002" Commodores have been together since Fleet Captain and are very supportive of each other. In closing this year, thank you again for allowing me to be Commodore of Maryland Cruising Club and please join me in welcoming Don Antos as incoming Commodore. Best Wishes to you, Commodore Don and First Lady Rosalie! - Commodore Angela
Vice Commodore Report I ’m pleased to report the Sep 21st was a huge success. The food was great, the crabs were terrific, and the strawberry short cake was out-of-this-world.To top it off, P/C Pam Hunt brought her karaoke outfit with her and the fun lasted several extra hours. If you weren’t there, you missed a great affair at a very modest price. MCC is indebted to Key YC for allowing us the free run of their clubhouse and making us feel right at home. They could not have been more accommodating. Congratulations to P/C Darlene Sauer, Treasurer Shirley Poling, P/C Pam Hunt and Commodore Angela Krzystan for a job well done. CHANGE OF WATCH Change of Watch and Crowning of our 2003 Princess is coming up on Friday, October 19th. Our 2003 officers will officially assume their respective offices and we will crown our 2003 Princess, Laura Kaelber that night. It’s going to be a very special evening and if you are there it will be extra special. Please note that we will be meeting at the Sparrows Point Country Club again this year. For reservations, contact April Geisler k-a-geisler@worldnet.att.net no later than the Monday prior to the meeting! A flyer has been enclosed to provide you with details about the MCC November 2nd Commodore’s Ball at Martins East. We got the food, the booze, the music ------ all we need is you. There will be more food than you can eat, a top-of-the-line bar open all night and Robin and her Rhythmix laying down the music. I know you will be there to have a good time so we will have no more ceremony than what we need. What better way to get our officers and board members off to a good start than a nice turn out to show our club solidarity? Please contact P/C Betty Stahler and make your reservation as soon as possible. Consult the flyer for phone information. - V/C Donald Antos Change Of Watch C hange of Watch is scheduled for the third Friday in October, October 18.

A Piece Of Cake A little boy is telling his Grandma how everything is going wrong, school, family problems, severe health problems, etc. Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson if he would like a snack, which, of course, he does. "Here, have some cooking oil." "Yuck" says the boy. "How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Grandma!" "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" "Grandma, those are all yucky!" To which Grandma replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! Life works the same way. Food for thought! Only In America
- Submitted By P/C George Sporer God Bless America! This flag, symbol of the hopes of man, this cloth of dreams for freedom, justice and opportunity, its stars like beacons, guiding us through shoals of adversity, its stripes like wounds of struggle. The good in it cannot be had for nothing, though, like any garden, it must be tended, like any loved one it must be held. Hold high this flag and keeps its promise bright, for in it lies the best of hope for all of us.
