Herewegoagain………………….. Another great year to look
forward to at the island. I spenda lot of time talking to the
membershipwhileat the island.One of thenewermembers toldme
something that expresseshow I felt when I was new to the club. He
toldme that whenhe came to thework party this year it hit him that
he, as he said “loves this place” that “if there is anything I cando to
make the club successful just ask, anything”. Another person told
me that hehopes that thework partiesnever stop. That those
eventsarewhat helpshim feel personal ownership in the club. This
kindof feedbackdescribes thepositiveeffects that the islandand
our extended family hasonaperson.
We havehadour first generalmembershipmeeting, steer roast, and
theABYAoutingof 2014under our belt. Theywereall very
successful, andmanyhad tons of fun!
