Spring is here and it is time for our annual Put-in-Bay Yacht Club
clean-up day! We would appreciate as many members as possible
Saturday, May 7th at 8:30 am to assist with getting our club house,
grounds, pavilion, storage area and docks in ship shape condition.
Lunch will be provided and free dockage is available that day for
members coming to help with clean-up. There will be a board meeting
immediately following lunch. For dockage or if you are interested in
coming in and helping out on a different day please call or email C.C.
Wisniewski at 419-285-4505, manager@pibyc.org
Each year on Memorial Day weekend, PIBYC holds a brief service honoring
those members who have passed away since last Memorial Day. The
officers hold a service on the dock and each member is commemorated by
a red rose placed in the bay from the dock by the Auxiliary. Please make us
aware of any current or past members who have passed away since last May 14, 6 pm

COMMODORE’S BRIEFING
The club belongs to all of its members. As your Commodore, I am merely one of the custodians. PIBYC
is, and always has been, a volunteer-run club. I’ve heard it said, “PIBYC is where you go to make
friends” and no statement could be truer. Members who give a few hours of themselves not only
help us keep the cost of membership down but, by being present and working alongside other
members, get to meet and make new friends. The last two years have gifted our club with a sizable
number of new faces. Come down, introduce yourself and find out why PIBYC is the island’s “friend
factory."
On that note, April showers bring May flowers, which means Clean-up day (May 7) is just around
the corner. The more hands we have for Clean-up day, the easier it is for all. If you have any special
equipment you want to bring to use, please do. We always need a couple extra wheelbarrows, rakes,
shovels, etc. There are plenty of "honey-do" jobs that need attention—both inside and out. There will be a jobs list inside
to pick from. New this year, Jason Cooper (Food & Beverage trustee) and I have made the decision that when the work is
done, the bar will be open along with the food provided for all.
After the club is spic and span, join us Saturday, May 14 for the official start of the 2022 season: the Lighting of the Cupola
and the Soup Cook-off. Bring a crockpot of your best recipe to share. Perhaps you will be judged the next winner of the
Golden Ladle. We’ll close out May with our Memorial Service and following brunch on Sunday May 29.
In this Jib sheet, Connie Miller has provided a refrigerator-friendly, one-page schedule of events that you can keep handy
and add to as other special events come along. If you have an idea for an event, or would like to help organize one, please
share with Connie, Steve Harris or me. Lastly, don’t forget to buy your Rolling Raffle ticket if you haven’t already. There’s
still a few left and you can buy yours on our website pibyc.org. There are still plenty of weekly pulls left and the grand prize
is $5000.00.
Looking forward to a great year and see you in May!

2022 season by joining us on Saturday May 7th beginning at 0830. There's a job for every skill set, from

OFFICE CLIPS
Happy Spring! I hope everyone had a wonderful winter. You have probably heard by now, but this
past winter, Put-in-Bay Yacht Club tried something new, and stayed OPEN! We were open 2 days a
week through the whole winter! It was fantastic seeing old and new members join us for Euchre,
good food, good drinks and of course great friendship. It’s definitely kept us busy through the cold
months. I still can’t believe how many people came out each week. We closed the kitchen and bar for
April so we can get cleaned up and reset for this summer.
I will be in the office starting April 15th gearing up for the season. If you have your dockage requests,
please check out the club website after April 1st. All dockage requests are done electronically and will
get an email or phone call confirmation.
Club clean-up is scheduled for May 7th. Please come down that day and help get our wonderful club all set up for the
season. If you’re interested in coming in and helping out on a different day, please call or email C.C. in the office (419)-
285-4505, manager@pibyc.org and set up a time and date to stop by.
Some important upcoming dates: Stay tuned for weekly updates emails to come in May. If you haven’t received any
emails from PIBYC, please check in with C.C. to make sure we have your email address correct.
Friday, May 13: Bayview Room Bar will open for Friday and Saturday evenings.
Thursday, May 19: Burger Night begins.
Sunday, May 29: Eye Opener Memorial Day Service and Brunch
Think warm weather and see you all soon!

AUXILIARY NEWS
Spring has sprung in Ohio! I am looking forward to more days of sunshine, blooming flowers, and
warming temps. We will be back enjoying the patio at PIBYC before we know it.
I can’t wait for Summer 2022. It seems that the covid numbers are dwindling, and this summer will
be more like summers of the past. The Auxiliary Board: myself, Vice President Sue Fegen, Secretary
Suzanne McFeaters, and Treasurer Deeann Beatty have been busy planning events for us to enjoy at the
club. We can’t wait to see you again at one of our luncheons, the Swim Sail Ice Cream Social, or just
having a happy hour cocktail or brunch at the club.
This year we are hoping to bring back something old from over 40 years ago! The 1980 PIBYC
cookbook. We would like to reprint and sell the cookbook with all the old recipes and add some new
ones. I have heard all about this and can’t wait to try some recipes from the past including recipes from
the Neff, Market, and Ripich families.
Past President Christy Bykowski has agreed to continue helping with the Ship's Store. We will be adding some new
items this spring and will continue to add different items throughout the summer. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us
if there is something you want to see in the store.
Remember to keep an eye on the Jib Sheet, the bulletin board in the club, and on social media for Auxiliary updates. I’m
looking forward to being among our island friends soon, and I hope to see you enjoying the club and making new memories
this summer. Cheers to Spring!
Krista Calfee – Auxiliary President
If you haven't seen some of Jill Cook's awesome sail
bags in the Ship's Store, you're missing out. Jill
donates half of her profits from each sale to our very
own PIB Community Swim/Sail program.
The sail bags and totes are all made from
donated/recycled sails. However, her stash of sails
to recycle into bags is depleted. If you have an old
sail which is past its functional life taking up space, please consider donating it
to Jill to be recycled into beautiful and useful items. If you have a sail you
would be willing to donate, contact Jill at jillccooks@yahoo.com. Help fund
water safety education in our island community.
I would like to take this opportunity and welcome all new and existing members back for our 2022
season! We are starting off with a record number of members standing at 605. I also want to highly
recommend if you have not paid your 2022 membership dues, but intend to renew, please make sure you
do so prior to April 15th. Any outstanding membership not paid in full prior to April 15 th will be
inactivated. I want to thank our Membership Secretary Jim Dettmer and his wife Linda for maintaining
the membership renewal process throughout the year. I also would like to thank the rest of the
Membership & Communication Committee for all their efforts. Looking forward to seeing everyone this
Spring!
Scott Owens – PIBYC Trustee, Membership and Communications Chair
The food and beverage part of our club has enjoyed an unprecedented off season! This is a new direction
for PIBYC and many members and year-round residents enjoyed having our club open this winter. Thank
you C.C. Wisniewski for a wonderful winter season. Many Island residents joined our club because of the
great family atmosphere, food and service.
My committee and I are always looking for feedback on our food and beverage program and I welcome
your comments and questions. My email address is: jason@islandhardwarestore.com
Jason Cooper – PIBYC Trustee, Food and Beverage Committee Chair
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Dear Members,
I am grateful and excited to begin the 2022 season. I have met so many wonderful friends at our club.
Barb Chrysler was the “first yacht club friend” that I made when I joined this great club. Barb told it like
it was, gave incredible and sincere squeezes and kept me laughing. I am grateful for the time I was given
with her and will remember her fondly. Memories and friendships are our club’s greatest gifts. Cherish
the time we have with each other; it is never long enough. Special thanks to Marilyn Paselsky for her
editing and support. If you are someone who submits articles, please submit no later than the 15th of
each month or if you would like to share a photo please email Amycshamrock@yahoo.com or
PIBYCJibSheet@pibyc.org.
Amy Catherine Schulte – Editor
If you haven’t already heard, it is with great sorrow that we relay the sad news that Barb
Chrysler passed on February 14, 2022. Barb was the manager of the club from 2012 until
she retired at the end of 2020. She became an Island resident in 1980, and was an
outstanding part of the Put-in-Bay community. She loved animals, bird watching, Bacardi
and Cokes (not Pepsi), adventures, and her friends and family. A celebration of life will
take place at the Put-in-Bay Yacht Club on Saturday, May 21st from 2 to 6 pm. Our sincere
condolences to her family and friends, she will be missed.
At the North Channel Yacht Club Commodore’s Ball in January 2022,
representatives of PIBYC presented NCYC with eleven custom life rings to
replace those lost in high water storms. The rings were funded by
