November is the month for giving thanks. Our fore
bearers made sure to take the time to sit down with
family and friends to thank the year’s bountiful
harvest. A fine tradition observed today. This year
will be no different. Barb and I look forward to
Thanksgiving, as we will be in the warm south,
celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday.
I’d like to thank everyone that took time out of their
busy schedules to join us in closing down the
clubhouse and grounds for the winter months ahead.
A big thanks to my wife Barb for organizing the food
for the work parties and all of you that helped prepare, serve and clean up
after the meals. A big thanks to our clubhouse director, Rich Goodman, and
harbor and grounds director, Don Reiss, for taking the lead in getting all of the
close- up tasks, completed. Thanks to Don Shepperson for all of your hard
work this season around the club, Thank you First Mates under the direction
of President Sandi Stroh, for your generosity throughout the year. Thank you
Ancient Mariners, led by President Archie Archibald, for your continued
support of NCYC. Thank you Board of Directors and our Board Recorder, Sue
Reiss, for your dedication and hard work as you continue to serve North
Channel. Thank you to all of our Week Managers and Weekend OD’S for
giving your time to helping our club. Thank you to everyone who put on an
event this year and especially to Kim Miedema for your contributions of
energy and time to all of the activities. And a huge thank you to all of you, the
membership of North Channel Yacht Club for your continued support and
involvement with this fine club.
Due to the closing work parties, we’ll be able to open up our club in the spring
with less difficulties.
Haul-out was a blast. Great food, great fun and great friends. Thank you
Debbie Siwek, Anne Siwek and Julie Alexander for hosting a most memorable
weekend.
