Thu, 16 Apr 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Members,

Katy Norton, the president of Marshall County Tourism, has requested assistance from our club members.

The Marshall County Leadership team is interested in a boat tour to the dam on Thursday, April 16th around 3 PM. They have 35 members of this group who would be participating on this tour.

We have graciously supported this initiative in the past. It is a great opportunity for us to show off our beautiful club and support the community.

Let me know if you have any questions.
If you are interested, please sign up as soon as possible.

Thank you!

Kim Van Staagen
Fleet Captain, LGYC

Club Appreciation Day (18 Apr 2026)

Sat, 18 Apr 2026 13:30:00 GMT

Itis once again time to show our appreciation for the club by pitching in for a few hours to do projects to enhance and improve the appearance of the club. Come for the weekend and enjoy the fruits of a bit of labor along with a lot of fun and camaraderie.

Last year we had about 50 people show up and it was a great success and a lot of fun.

The Commodore's party is coming up May 3. Club Appreciation is a great way to make the club look it's best for the celebration of our Commodore and his wife.

If you have a special area you want to help with, there is a signup list in the office for each of the teams, Otherwise just show up and we will assign you to a leader.

The major list of projects are listed below:

Spring Flower Planting around clubhouse
Plant Hanging Baskets in Gazebo
Inside Club House organizing and improvements
Pressure Wash Sidewalks / Pool area (bring extra pressure washers please!)
Clean up dead trees, limbs and other heavy work
Clean up and Mulch Flower Beds
Trim roses and bushes
Food - TBD
Beer and Wine

Bring gloves, wear appropriate clothing and any special tools you believe would help to work safely on the tasks you would like to participate in.

If you can offer a pressure washer it really helps to have 5 or 6 going to get the job done in one day.

Teams will be formed based on needs, skills and any physical limitations. First and foremost, come to have fun and participate and don't take on tasks your body is not able to safely do!

Lunch is provided and the beer and wine will be offered in the afternoon.

Please register so we can order the right amount of food for lunch and beer and wine for the after party.

Thanks in Advance!

FREE Seminar - Boating on Rivers, Locks and Lakes (25 Apr 2026)

Sat, 25 Apr 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Boating Seminar – Rivers, Locks and Lakes

Chuck Wills and the America’s Boating Club would like to welcome you to a free, 2-hour seminar from 8-10 am on April 25 in the LGYC Ballroom. The USA has some of the finest boating to be found anywhere. The Tennessee River with 652 navigable miles is one of the best waterways in the nation. TVA maintains the waterway which we share with commercial vessels. Understanding the rules can make boating more enjoyable and safer.

Topics include special navigation rules for rivers, going through a lock, communicating with lock masters and barges, river currents, flood conditions, and AIS for inland waters.

If we have an interested group that has never gone through a lock, we will organize a trip to the Guntersville Dam and demonstrate best practices to transit a lock.

Please RSVP so we know how many seats to set up.

Please contact Chuck Wills if you are interested in doing a lock trip or have questions at willscharles@gmail.com or (256) 506-7773

Partner in Command FREE Boating Class (20 Jun 2026)

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 15:00:00 GMT

Partner in Command and Cruise

Ever wonder what you'd do if your partner, the one who knows how to operate the boat, was suddenly not able to do so?

America's Boating Club of North Alabama presents "Partner in Command" a 2-hour seminar on ways to deal with this scenario in our local waters. We'll discuss medical emergencies and man overboard situations along with strategies for dealing with them. Our instructor will be Lisa Shier who has extensive experience in both instruction and in boating.

Are you a crew member or passenger who has no idea what's going on during a boat trip or want to know more? Learn the essential skills you will need to help the skipper safely operate a recreational boat. You'll become an asset on board with Partner in Command.

This is open to both men and women and can certainly include children that you may want to be knowledgeable in an emergency situation. Prior boating knowledge is not required.

Following the class there will be an optional cruise where you can discuss what you learned in the class and then have lunch at City Harbor.

This class will be held June 20 from 9 AM - 11 AM in the LGYC ballroom. The optional cruise will start shortly after the class and we will dock at city harbor about 12:30.

For more information call or text Chuck Wills at (256) 506 7773
