What a great way to start out the year for NCYC. I am referring to
the Commodore’s Ball honoring John and his lady Beverly.
Congratulations to both of you and thank you for all your
preparation and hard work, everyone had a great time. Way to go
Greg & Yvonne Murray and P/C Harley & Linda Burris on your
Spirit and Member of the year awards respectively.
February is the month the Board approves committees and begins
to firm up plans for the upcoming season. Consider stepping up
and helping on a committee or assisting with an event this year. It
is a great way to meet new members and is truly a ton of fun.
It is not too early to start thinking about the 2014 work schedule. All members need to send
their top three choices for a work weekend to our Secretary Randy Pagel, so that he can
complete the schedule. If you are interested in stepping up to be a weekend OD, please let
Randy know, and if you are interested in managing for a week, contact P/C Harley Burris. If
you're thinking about either being an OD or week manager but you're still on the fence,
consider teaming with another couple. It's a great experience and a lot of fun.
NCYC has a couple of winter events coming up. Both are a great opportunity to get together
and enjoy great company. First is the 4th Annual NCYC Ski/Snowmobile weekend at Shanty
Creek. It should be a great time! Next is the ABYA “Derby Downs” Spring Rendezvous in
Midland. This weekend always promises to be a lot of fun. I'm sure this year will be no
exception. Watch your fan outs and the Beacon for details on both of these great events.
Leading up to each major event this year and immediately following the event Renee and I
are taking notes to be prepared for next year. With that said, save the date for next year’s
Commodore’s Ball celebrating our clubs 50th anniversary – January 24
th
, 2015.
