Past Commodores Party 2008 photos have been posted!
15 of our Past Commodores threw a terrific party at the Aeries Winery in Grafton Illinois Saturday, May 3rd, despite less than ideal weather and water conditions.  Past Commodores Mike Tremmel and Bill Mixon along with Bill's wife Linda and Jim Farr prepared a feast of steak, shrimp, chicken and all the trimmings.  Many thanks to the cooking crew for the time, equipment and effort they volunteer for many of the Con Trios Yacht Club events.
Past Commodores were presented with Con Trios Yacht Club shirts with the year they were Commodore.  Those present were:
1985 - Fred Cross
1986 - Wayne Obst
1988 - Derrill Machens
1989 - Rich Shamel
1991 - Sonny Robbins
1992 - Kenny Whitney
1995 - Web Morrow
1996 - Bill Mixon
1999 - Mike Tremmel
2000 - Mike Ramirez
2004 - John Bicknese
2005 - Carl Tiemann
2006- Jim Svoboda
2007 - Tim Tighe
2008 - Gary Meinershagen
Besides the great food we had beverages served by Sonny and Kenny, music on the deck provided by Aeries Winery, Scott and Lisa selling Properties, Raffles, a Pinata to bust, an interesting shuttle service consisting of a tractor, hay wagon and 4 wheeler, but most of all a great time with great friends.  Thanks to the Past Commodores for keeping this fun club going for 42 years!  Also a big "Thank You" to everyone that helped in any way.  The one thing that makes a club great is the way all members pitch in to make things happen!  Thanks to Grafton Harbor from those of us that came by boat, as always their staff was more than helpful, even giving us rides to the Winery before the shuttles began operating.  Thanks again Joe and Jan!
