Crest Pontoon Visit:
The regional sales manager for Crest Pontoons has offered to pay NCYC $1000 to allow Crest to bring in
two boats on a Saturday so they can advertise and provide demo rides to people at the club. It is
tentatively arranged for 3 June 2017, the weekend of the ABYA Spring Dinner Dance. There was
subsequent discussion by the board.
MOTION:
Moved by Scott Greenfelder and seconded by Brian Fringer to accept the offer from Crest
Pontoon to visit the island with two boats on 3 June 2017.
Motion Carried
Day Boating Status:
The board discussed the concept of a Day Boating Membership. To add a Day Boating Membership
status would require a By-Law change. Our club license requires that all members have an equal vote.
Potential benefits and concerns with the concept were discussed at length, and the board’s opinion was
that a Day Boating Membership would not be in the best interest of NCYC at this time. However, it was
stated that any member has the right to initiate a petition that would bring a By-Law change to the
general membership for a vote.

Moved by Bill Calihan and seconded by Scott Greenfelder for John Mantyk to be named
