DECEMBER 2017 BEACON

Rear Commodores Comments…

As we grow older, time seems to fly by and 2017 was no exception. It feels like it was just yesterday that we raised the flags under Commodore Pat’s command; but yet here we are with the club closed, boats put away and friends heading south and north. That being said, NCYC camaraderie never rests and there are events to attend: the First Mates Holiday Dinner on December 5th, ABYA Commodore’s ball on December 2nd, the Bowling league all winter long and the ringing in of our 2018 Commodore in January. I look forward attending many of these events and hope you do as well so that we can all stay in touch. I would like to congratulate and applaud the outgoing board members for their dedication and passion for the club’s advancement. Thank you PC Chuck Stroh, Kim Miedema, PC Tom McHugh, and Don Ruma. Marie and I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holidays and look forward to seeing you at the upcoming events! RC/ Ian Blackburn
