FIRST MATES MENTION JUNE 2017

Hi Ladies:

Jill and her fashion show team did a great job and was a big success. Next year's plans are on their way with Shelly Sweier as our project leader. Date to save is Sunday, May 6th, at the Barrister Gardens . Thank you goes out to Yvonne Murray who donated the printing of the First Mates Roster. If you did not receive your Roster, they are available behind the clubhouse bar. Thank you also to all who provided an appetizer for the patio party. A special thanks goes out to everyone who supported our raffle. Sue Brooks also deserves a thank you for the great premeeting breakfast she put on. She was also the coordinator of the patio party. Ladies Week is June 11th and will end Thursday, June 15th. It will be a fun time with First Lady Nancy. Even if you can only come for one day, please join us. Labour Day dinner is on Sunday, September 3rd. It will be managed by Debbie Swiek who will be in charge of the main dish and the board members have signed up to provide side dishes. Please join us for a great dinner. Past president, MaryMarini, will head the NominatingCommittee for our 2018 Board. Anyone interested in running, please contact her. Past president, Sandy Strohs, is looking into a summer fundraising. There will be more details to follow. Please don't forget to shop in and browse around our Boatique. Jill has it well stocked. Our Christmas party plans are also underway. Tuesday, December 5th, at Avante in Clinton Township. More details to follow. Our clubhouse now has air and heat upstairs. Instructions are posted upstairs on how to control this unit. Thank you to all the First Mates and membership who helped make this project happen. Thanks, President Linda Pagel for heading this project. Hope to see you all at the club this summer.
