SEPTEMBER 2018 BEACON

Hello fellow members. As I look back to the Memorial weekend festivities, and all the activities that followed and the five that are planned out that will take us to the end of the boating season I am amazed at our membership. I want to personally thank all the members that stepped forward to chair these functions; the First Mates, Ancient Mariners and the Fleet Captain whom have provided the membership with some great activities for us all to enjoy. One of the great functions that took place was on Saturday August 25th, “The Pot Luck”. The “Pot Luck” is a little different than most of our get togethers. It is almost like a Sunday family dinner. A lot of good food and socializing. Well this year was an end of what you may call and era. Most of you know that Bob and Cindy Swan have been hosting this activity for approximately twenty years and this was their last year as they are moving to Florida. I am sure that will see them both from time to time on their “Return to Michigan” trips. A big thanks to Bob and Cindy for all your hard work and dedication to the club, we will miss you but we we’ll see you again. Thanks for all your contributions to the club!! See you on the Island, R/C Bill
