the roof over the Grill Room. The roof

was recommended by Peter Rebovich, Jr., that we
acknowledge Captain Mike Vinik and Mate Ray Drollinger who helped retrieve most of our boats that broke
free from their moorings. They did this
and did not claim salvage rights, they just wanted to be compensated for their
time. The owners of those boats will
handle that. RC Dennis Meichel stated that we would send them an invitation for
dinner & wine for 4 at the club.
Address is: Vinik Marine, Inc.
