The April/May GLCC Member Survey results are in.  Members were invited by the Communications and Website Committee to share their opinions on importance and the ease of use of several website features and tools.  Final results are still being tabulated but the overall comments and suggestions provide a richness we want to acknowledge and share. Thanks all to those who participated in the survey and we look forward to hearing from more members in future surveys as well.

Door County, Wisconsin has long been a desired cruising destination for boaters all around the Great Lakes.   However, transient slips have been hard to come by. Opening this June, the Village of Egg Harbor's newly expanded marina will help alleviate that slip shortage problem.   Interested boaters can call the Village of Egg Harbor office at 920-868-3334 now to register their interest.  Initial requests will be logged now and then confirmed once the Village's new reservation system is up and running in April.

On May 29th, 2010 at 1:00 PM, GLCC members and friends are invited to attend a Celebration in remembrance of Al (Skip) Penniston, a long time GLCC member and Port Captain. This event will be held at the North Channel Yacht Club, in Spragge, Ontario on the North Channel. Any GLCC member who wishes to attend should contact me by telephone or by e-mail.
