Commodore, JohnAnderson
Many thanks toall of you for aGREATCLUBopening. Itwas fantastic andone that I'll cherish
formanyyears to come. Forme, and youaswell, thepace for doingClubbusiness should slow
down considerably. We'veplannedand set things inmotionduring the first part of this year.
Let's enjoy the fruitsof our efforts andhaveagood time the rest of this season. We still need
toencourageadditionalmembership. That's something very important toour success andour
ability to sustainwhat thisClubexpects fromus.
We, all of us, have to showour leadership inparticipating inevents andactivitiesplanned.
Pleaseencourage your friends to joinus for eventsor rendezvous' during the season. Itmakes
it thatmuchmoreenjoyable for everyoneand compliments thosewhohaveworked sohard to
showus somegoodentertainment.

Wehadagreat openingweekendanda touching flag raising ceremony, followedbya full
harbor for theABYA SpringDinnerDance. Itwas agreat turnout and verybeneficial toNCYC. I
would like to thankABYA for their attendanceand look forward tohosting theevent againnext
year. Aswehead into theheart of the summer, let'smake surewekeepaneyeonour
budgets. It is important to staywithinour budget inall areas, but it is also importantwe
completeasmany items aspossible to keepupon themaintenanceof our beautiful clubhouse
andgrounds. It isour duty topromote continuous improvements,making surewedo
everythingwe can topreservewhatwehaveandmake it bettermoving forward.
With that being said, oneareaweneed to look for improvement isour current PAand speaker
system. Everyyearwe seem to run intoproblemswithour sound system. This year onceagain
wehadmemberswho complained they couldnot hear at theGeneralMembershipMeeting,
andat the FlagRaisingCeremony. Themicrophone kept cuttingout. Iwould like to suggestwe
takea lookat correcting this systemonceand for all. Iwill gather informationandget some
ideas from themembershipandbring this informationbackat a futureboardmeeting.
Another areaof concern is thedock runningaroundour island. Wehadamember tripand fall
on thedockonopeningweekendalong thewalkwaynear theBoatique. This area iswhere the
deckboards aremountedover the cementwalkwayandeveryyear seem to "buckle" and come
loose. We should look into redoing this areawithPVCdecking thatwill notwarpor patio
bricks.
