Page 6 of 7
meetings. Each member would have a chance to comment on the minutes at that
meeting. Seconded by Kim Miedema. Discussion followed.
Motion Carried.
Rana Shepperson asked the membership for help in her walk for the American Diabetes
Association. She will be doing a 5K walk at the Detroit Zoo. She is not asking for
monetary donations, with the board’s approval she will be collecting cans and bottles
this weekend, with all proceeds going to the diabetes fund. If you have cans or bottles
at your home, she will gladly pick them up.
Don Shepperson reminded everyone that when exiting the East harbor you must sound
your horn. Boats exiting the East Harbor do not have the right of way, they must give
way to the Robison There have been many near misses of smaller boats on the Robison
not seeing the boats exiting the harbor. Also, as a safety concern, please do not
unscrew the bulbs on the docks. If the light bothers you, then put a bucket over the
light so it shines down on the walkway. Please do not cut the circuit breakers on the
water shed as this takes out the navigation lights in the harbor.
PC Harley Burris stated that it is not too early to think about next year. He is looking for
week managers for next year. It is a good chance to see first hand how the club is run.
Kim Miedema reminded all of the new members to see her about getting their pictures
taken for the roster for next year.
Rae Ann Whyard wanted to thank PC Hugh and Mary Vestal and PC Pete Beecherl for
helping with the debt reduction horse race fund raiser.
PC Rick Romatz wanted everyone to know that ABYA will be going back to Midland next
year. The theme next year will be horse racing.
Art Brooks noted that NCYC was one of the founding members of the ABYA. With that
said he is looking for NCYC members to run for the ABYA board.
Diane French stated that she is the chairman for the by-laws committee. She will send
out a fan out about new changes for the junior members. Please read it and think about
it because it will be on the ballot.
RC Brian McEvoy reminded everyone that we will have junior members for bartenders
on Saturday night. Please tip them well as they get to keep the tips.
