My FIRST commodore corner, wow what a month it has been already! If you do not know me yet my name is Jessie Homer, Brian Homer is my husband (and one of your trustees again this year) and we have two sons: Gavin, 16 and Braxton almost 11.

Our 2024 Bridge at the Winter Rendezvous. (L-R) Vice Commodore Sean Leengran, Commodore Jessie Homer, and Rear Commodore Benjamin Lowien.

We just had a wonderful Winter Rendezvous a few weeks ago at Sawmill Creek with the 2024 change of watch ceremony and where all the Hollywood elite came to dine and dance the night away.

Just this last weekend we attended the AYC ball and whirlwind of a fun weekend. There were 15 rooms decorated from floor to ceiling for the 80's theme set by the 2023 commodores. Each room had its own themed drinks and food for Friday night and all day and night Saturday along with several fun bands in the atrium. It is definitely something everyone should put on their calendar for next year!

The next upcoming events are:

February 24th 11am-3pm: Marina open house. If you can come please bring an appetizer and let someone on the bridge know so we have an idea of how many people we have. We already have a couple possible new members coming to check us out!

March 23rd: HBYC & APYC Bus trip to other AYC yacht clubs- if you do not have a ticket for this fun event there are still a few available. Click here for more info!

April 20th 1-2pm: Perrysburg Boat Club and Lakefront Yacht Club will come and visit on their bus trip...we really need as many people there as possible to help throw them a mini welcome party!

May 4th: Our first Membership meeting of the year at 5pm

After will be our first social of the year with an added bonus/ change- Commodore's Dinner is also added to this social to make it an extra fun kick off event of the season!

SO much more to come for a fabulous year and I hope to see you all soon my friends!
