MESSAGE FROM THE COMMODORE Spring is finally here! At least that is what the calendar says. Who forgot to tell the weather man? As I am writing this letter in April, it looks and feels more like early March. Hopefully by the time this newsletter comes out, the weather will have turned around. The BIG news for the club this year is the planned building renovation project. YES, it is finally going to happen!! The club's Board of Governors has met throughout the winter and spring months, working with the contractors and architects to revise our plans. The board has selected Krieghoff -Lenawee Co. as the construction firm to perform the renovation, and they are currently working with our architect to finalize the plans. Construction is scheduled to begin immediately following the closing of the club in September. The revised plans will be available for member's viewing as soon as we get them back from the architect. This is also an important year for attracting new members. There is no better way to keep our own membership dues from increasing than to bring in new members. The board has approved incentives for all of our current members to invite and sponsor new members. If you bring in a new member who joins in May, both you and the new member will receive a $200 club credit. If you bring in a member that joins in June, both you and the new member will receive a $150 club credit. The club credit will be reduced to $100 in July, and $50 in August for both yourselves and the new member. The club credit can be used for food and beverages. Thanks to an anonymous donation, this year all DLYC members are receiving a free membership to the Lakes Preservation League. You can learn more about all the great things the LPL does when you receive their magazine. It is certainly an organization all of us enjoying the lakes should be a member of. So let the fun begin!! It's time to being another great year at DLYC. Diane and I are looking forward to seeing all of you soon.

So many of you have stopped by the office to welcome us back and it has been great to see you. We always look forward to our return to DLYC because our members are the nicest people in the world!

Otherwise, No boats are allowed at the club docks until May 13th. Members are reminded that boats not on a lift must be tied to four individual poles installed by the members. No boats are to be tied to the dock, or any dock posts. Also, automobile tires are not allowed to be used as dock bumpers.
