Any amount – big or small - is greatly appreciated. As a member of the Great Lakes Cruising Club, you’re also automatically a member of the GLF. The Foundation was organized in 1993 exclusively for charitable, educational and scientific purposes, and since it’s inception has distributed more than $185,000 in grants throughout the Great Lakes. Some of the supported projects have included breakwater construction, dredging, and university level research. It is a goal of the Great Lakes Foundation to attract, review, and issue a growing amount of annual grants to ac- tivities that meet the Foundation’s criteria. We are especially interested in grant applications for projects, which will enhance cruising activities, facilities, and access. To do it, we need your help.

    Detroit Yacht Club Nominees for Election Commodores The Board of Directors & Preservation Fund Trustee 2012 – 2013 Monday, November 12, 2012 Votingn Noon – 8:00 pm Annual Meeting at 8:30 pm SCOTT ALLEN Commodore Strong business experience with emphasis on ………..Strategy ………………….Commitment …………………………………...Foresight “The future of our club rests on our combined efforts to the development of new, creative strategies for revenue enhance- ment (to reduce the reliance on member dues), the commitment to our common friendships and the foresight to include more member input and communication in advance of critical actions. “ This is how I began my comments for this page when I was running for Rear Commodore. Now, two years later, I am more convinced than ever that this was the correct path. This past year I served as Vice Commodore and was Chairperson of the House Committee. Already complete are major renovations to the coat check area, ladies locker room, major renovations to two of our docks, repairs and upgrades to sea walls and the boat launch landing. We are close to the beginning of our reconstruction of the main stairs leading from Main to the 2nd floor and also a master plan for future renovations to the men’s locker room. Less visible, but very im- portant and not always popular, are the several actions taken regarding rules and the enforcement thereof. To me, the most notable piece is the amazing involvement from our members to make all of that happen. The role of Commodore is similar to a “Chairman of the Board”. This person must act as a leader and to generate con- sensus of the Board of Directors, Management and Membership in order to forge successfully into the future with com- mon purpose.

(RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF HISTORIC DESIGNATION STUDY) Petition #1069 is the request of Dr. Kim of Lawrence Tech University and the West Grand Boulevard Collaborative to conduct a study for historic designation of the former Sweet Home Missionary Baptist Church and Daycare Center, originally the home of Redeemer Presbyterian Church. (SEE ATTACHMENT A) Reasonable grounds for the study have been provided in that the property has been officially determined to be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. BACKGROUND In April 2016, a petition was filed requesting the study for a proposed historic designation of the buildings at 2764 West Grand Boulevard, more recently known as Sweet Home Baptist Church and also Day Care Center, but historically known as Redeemer Presbyterian Church as was named by its original congregation in the 1920’s until later adopted by new parishioners. The two buildings on the property have historically functioned as one entity. Both structures have been deemed eligible for both the National Register of Historic Places and local historic designation.
