Moosehead Lake Yacht Club

Dear friends,

Once again, it is my honor and privilege to welcome you to the 2026 Moosehead Lake Yacht Club season of events and activities.  At the last Trustees meeting in August, 2025, the Board developed a 2026 schedule of events, planned for venues, equipment rentals and other services in preparation for the upcoming season.  Last fall, Kay Johnson submitted her resignation as Vice Commodore. I would personally like to thank Kay for her service and dedication to the membership and Board of Trustees of MLYC.  In accordance with the MLYC bylaws, the Board of Trustees has appointed Jeff McIver as her replacement for the 2026 season.   He joins other board members, Tom Perry as Rear Commodore, Judi Frederick, Barbara Richardson, Karen Maher-Cochran as Secretary/Historian and Treasurer, Bob Annis.

Our 2026 schedule of events is as follows:

     July 11, 2026 - The Commodore’s Reception on the Steamship Katahdin.

     July 25, 2026 - Pig Roast - Hosted by Telford and Karen Allen - Allen’s Camp, Rockwood

     August 8, 2026 - Kineo Cup - Hosted by Dick and Chris Brown - Sand Bar Island

     August 22, 2026 - Annual Meeting and Dinner - Moosehead Aero Marine Hanger

Between these events, please consider participating or volunteering in the MMM Gardening Group, led by Joanne Roberts (Friday mornings 10:00-11:30); the Boaters Group, led by Bruce Marsh (Dates TBA); and the Fly-In Shuttle Drivers Group, coordinated by Julie Hamilton and Waldo Klein (September 10-13).

Lastly, let’s all give a big shout out to our MLYC Photographers; Marion Whelpley & Scott Richardson. They continue to capture the friendship and fun of every event.

Before our first event in July, our various event committees gather to finalize plans for the 2026 season.  The summer season may be short, but there are months of preparation for every event.  Please join me in a heartfelt thanks to our volunteers who work so diligently to ensure everything is planned and

ready for us all.  Most importantly, our events would not be a reality without the exceptional hospitality of our hosts; Telford & Karen Allen and Dick & Chris Brown.  Our heartfelt thanks for your generosity.

Lastly, on the business side of the club, the dues for 2026 willremain at $175 per member, with notices to be mailed in May, prior to the start of the fun.  So, let’s hope for great weather, fond memories and a successful 2026 season.  Give of your time as you are able and enjoy this special place called

Moosehead.

Sincerely,

Steve Mason, CommodoreEnter Text
