THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
children in the family and two
are boys and two dre girls, the
boys can go on to become mem-
bers and the girls cannot .. .
"That is the kind of thing (that
happened) and changes come
very slowly. You don't buck the
system, you work within it.
"Some of the clubs have made
some really tremendous strides. I
was elected to the board (of
GLYC) in 1972. We changed. We
had to amend our bylaws in order
for me to serve. But then changes
came very rapidly. We accepted
women then as members.
"We have another interesting
thing. If a husband and wife di-
vorced, the wife had no opportu-
nity to continue as a member of
the club. The membership was
her husband's. Then, when we
made the change, one of the
things we had to do was say, `OK.
Each of you can become a
member if you choose, in your
own right.' And we've had situa-
tions where the wife then bought
a boat, or she had a boat, so there
were two boats."
Great Lakes sponsored its 20th
"Early Bird Regatta" May 17,
kicking off the DRYA season.
Triangular A, B and C courses
were set up. Threatening
weather held off long enough for
a good day of sailing. Afterwards,
guests from other clubs and
GLYC members gathered under
a large tent for an awards dinner.
GLYC hardly seems an out-
sider anymore, but Kommel is
convinced, "When some things go
wrong, some of the anti-Semitic
feelings come out again."
Goodman, though, said that all
clubs "keep relations close with
each other. We go to each other's
commodore balls. We had our
commodore's ball April 5 and we
had 17 visiting commodores and
their wives as• our guests."
Besides the Early Bird Re-
gatta, GLYC has six other races
in which outside clubs partici-
pate. But GLYC's main emphasis
is family activities.
"We don't have much in the
way of dinner," Goodman said.
"It's much more in the way of
picnics. We have a Father's Day
party, Venetian Night, and we
have a regular lobster night. Al-
though we're a Jewish club we're
not a kosher club. We have a
square dance, usually."
Other members stress the fam-
ily theme. "We've been a family
club and recognized all over
America as a family club," said
Edelson. Sachse added, "This
club is very family oriented.
There's no bar, so people don't sit
around the bar all day."
That, too, seems to be a prime
attraction to former commodore
Lootens. "There's no liquor
license," he said, with a grin. "It
is completely a family club. You
don't find all the men at the bar,
women in the pool, and kids rais-
ing hell. You've got family units
functioning as family units.
"If you were to visit other yacht
clubs in the world you'd find very
few that have our combination of
facilities — boat wells without a
tide problem . . . a huge grassy
area, no liquor license . . . a hoist
right here on the grounds .. .
How can you beat that?"
The club also has a junior sail-
ing program for boys and girls,
age 9-16, with certified sailing
instructors.
Glen Gardner, son of members
'Herb and Margot Gardne; of
Huntington Woods, is a product
of the junior program. He now is
a skilled sailor and active at the
club — when he's not busy with
medical school.
"I love it here," he said, relax-
ing on the Kommels' 52-foot,
$300,000 ketch "Anodyne" fol-
lowing the May regatta. "I'm out
on our boat every chance I get.
It's been a great place to grow
up."
Commodore Goodman said club
membership is limited to 185.
There are four openings now and
typically there might be ten
members a year who drop out,
usually because they've moved
out of state.
Dues for active members are
$900 a year, with a $500 charge
for social membership. Fees for
one of the 125 boat wells begin
with a $1,000 initial charge and a
fee of $625 to $1,200 a year, de-
pending on the size of the boat.
Applicants must be sponsored
by two members, with the candi-
date's name being circulated
throughout the membership "I
have never seen anybody who has
applied for membership and not
been accepted," Goodman said.
