Rear Commodores Comments…
September is my favorite month at NCYC! There is so much going on! We have
an event almost every weekend. We get reunited with friends that have been
off on their boats vacationing. The Board is preparing the following year’s budget
and project(s) are getting organized. One of the most gratifying events is seeing
and talking with the people who have stepped up to volunteer their time for the
betterment of NCYC. This includes the volunteers for the NCYC Board, First Mates
and the Ancient Mariners. I truly appreciate and respect these individuals for their
desire to make a difference.
Once again I would like to thank those who have taken on the duty of Weekday
Manager. Without your selflessness, the dynamics of this club would change
dramatically. The schedule is open to all members, so if you are interested, please
talk to Dick Raymond. This is a great way to find out the workings of the club.
Around the corner is a new event, the Commodore’s Clay shooting. I have a feeling
that some folks have been practicing and I am curious to see who comes out as the
winner . . . best of luck to all participants.
Then we have Haul Out, our final party (in you PJ’s, if you dare) and we find out who
will be our next leadership team. Congratulations in advance to those who are
successful and I look forward to working with you. For those that are not chosen, you
are winners for throwing your name in the hat and on behalf of the membership I say
Thank You! I sincerely hope you step forward again next year as I see excellent talent
in the entire slate of candidates.
To close up the club are our two fall work parties – Saturday, October 14th, and
Saturday, October 21st. Please try to make at least one, if not both, as there is a lot
of work required to secure our treasure for the winter. Keep an eye open for future
details and information in the upcoming Fan-Outs.
See you on the Island,
RC/ Ian Blackburn
