Hello sailors,

I wanted to send out a few updates for the next couple weeks of sailing.

• Madden Trophy - The Madden family would like to switch the day of their trophy from Sunday the 12th to Saturday the 11th. Mike Madden will be on the starting line for Saturday and wants the opportunity to compete for it. There are no other trophies scheduled for C scow that weekend.

Dear LLYC members,

As many of you have heard by now, Suzi Reese died on Sunday, June 28. Suzi was a dear friend to so many on Long Lake and all of us will feel her absence. She never missed an opportunity to help others. If you asked for anything, the answer was always yes. For years, Suzi opened her home for numerous yacht club events. She selflessly offered her knowledge and experience to improve our sailing program, especially for the kids. In short, Suzi loved Long Lake and always wanted to make it better. Read on for Suzi's official obituary.

Suzanne Reese, 72, of Long Lake, IL passed away on Sunday, June 28, 2020.

Suzi was born…

Unfortunately, as most of you know, we are in the middle of a lock-down order by the governor in response to the COVID-19 virus and we don’t yet have a date for when this will be lifted. This means hosting the spring meeting in the traditional way is not feasible at this time. For this reason, we have decided to move the meeting to an online and over the phone conference call.

While I know everyone is disappointed in the decision, the LLYC officers feel that it is necessary for the safety of the club and its members. We certainly will miss seeing everyone’s smiling faces after the long winter absence. But on a positive note, we can still hear your voices and hopefully…

Greetings All LLYC Members,

It's almost unbelievable how quickly our sailing season and summer has "blown" by!  This Labor Day weekend is our last weekend for Long Lake sailing and regularly scheduled LLYC activities. Another season for the great LLYC!

The 2018 year has certainly been a busy one for us all.

Following the Trophy Banquet, we lost our lost our beloved Norman Reese but were blessed with two new little ones as well as new C and Junior members. Kerchers rang in the holiday season for us with a LLYC party filled with fun and plenty of goodies. Our Dues Committee recommended adjusting the annual membership dues and the club voted with an official ballot to move forward with the changes.  The bylaws were officially changed and…
