OCTOBER 2015 BEACON

Vice Commodores Comments…

Well we did it again…….. Haul out is over and it was another highly successful year at North Channel Yacht Club!!!! The election results are in and we have a great new set of leaders for the Flag and Board of Directors to continue the work of running the club. Congratulations to Randy Pagel as our Rear Commodore, Bill Calihan, Scott Greenfelder, and Tom Martin as Directors. I hope that those that were not elected this year remember that they are greatly needed and will be willing to go for it again next year. This is the time of year that I reflect on the boating season just completed. I realize how many members so unselfishly volunteered their time to keep the club the awesome place that it is. We all need to take the time to thank all of the Week Managers, Weekend OD’s, event leaders, and all the support that those people had to make the efforts look so easy and so seamless. Not to mention the members that volunteer to participate on the several committees that it takes to ensure the club runs smoothly. I am proud to have served under Commodore Brian McEvoy and with the 2015 Flag and Directors. I feel that the team did a great job moving the club forward positioning ourselves for the future. I can assure you that each and every person in the Boardroom put the club and our membership’s needs ahead of their own while making the many decisions in front of them each month. Don’t forget the work parties. Bring a fellow member and work as a team to close her up for the year. Commodore Brian McEvoy will start the work of rebuilding the bar as part of the two closing week work parties. So come join us to be sure we are ready for the winter months. See you at the work parties, V/C Chuck Stroh
