and emotional event. I would also like to thank Bill Calihan for helping P/C Scott Bell arrange for the
Pride of Michigan to participate along with the Sea Cadets.
The ABYA dinner was very well attended this year with around 188 people enjoying the dinner and
entertainment on Saturday night.
Please continue to support the club and look for new opportunities to invite perspective new members
to come out and visit our club.
Rear-Commodore’s Comments
Rear Commodore, Ian Blackburn
Welcome to the June board meeting; we are quickly approaching the second half of the year. When I
complimented the board during the Memorial Day meeting, I meant it. Thank you for your efforts and
dedication.
We now need to focus on running the club for the next 4 months, along with the business of bylaw and
policy change proposals. Let’s stay focused and make sure we are doing what’s right for the entire
membership.
Financial Report
Treasurer, Brian Fringer
The financial report was distributed via e-mail prior to the meeting and summarized.
May 2017 revenues were just over $43,000, and the net gain was just under $20,000. We are still trailing
2016 by approximately $11,000. This is partially due to timing with the bar revenue reporting and
membership. The board discussed that it is still too early to consider changes to spending since the club
has only been opened for two weeks.
MOTION:
Moved by Bill Calihan and seconded by Darryl Campbell to approve the Financial Report.
Motion Carried
ABYA Report
P/C Chuck Stroh
There was no ABYA meeting this month. Thanks to the NCYC members who supported the ABYA Dinner
Dance. The club had just under $6000 gross in dockage and bar sales for the event.
Correspondence
All
Ford Yacht Club invited the NCYC Flag and membership to enjoy the facilities of their club for the 2017
boating season.
Port Dover Yacht Club and Long Point Bay Yacht Clubs offered NCYC members one night of free dockage
as “true” reciprocation and requested that NCYC do the same to their members. The board considered
the request, and there was no support to reciprocate to those clubs since they are in eastern Lake Erie
on the Canadian side.
Mike Linden asked that he could bring several of his friends with 4 or 5 boats from Mac Ray Harbor to
the club. Since Mike is a member, he is allowed to bring guests to the club so there is no need to consider
it a rendezvous. They may be interested in joining NCYC, so they will be offered a free night’s dockage
after paying for the first night.
