Good of the order

Denbbie Siwek Debbie advises that she will present any changes that she makes to the membership application to the board for approval.

Member John Zych John brought several ideas for the board to consider,

The club should consider a kayak and paddleboard storage rack. He suggested it could be attached to the back of the shed. This way members could leave their paddleboards and kayaks at the club and not have to haul them every weekend. Members could also donate paddleboards and kayaks and members may be able to rent them out. Cost is estimated to be about $2400.00 for equipment or $1300.00 to build proper fencing and racks. John suggested that the club should invest in a voltage detector to keep members safe while in the water. Suggested locations would be the swimming hole and the end of A dock. Motion: Moved by John Sweier and seconded by V/C Bill Calihan to approve the concept and appropriate research for deployment and installation of voltage detectors. Motion Carried. John suggested that we should have some Friday night entertainment at the club and that members would donate and cover the cost of the entertainment. John suggested that the club reinstate Christmas in July since it was a fun event that many members enjoyed. It was suggested that he contact Bob Carnaghi and P/C John Dixon since they are handling the float down event that weekend. Lastly John suggested that NCYC consider having weekend dock attendants. These may be staffed by Junior members or kids of members that would like to work for tips and perform duties like bringing ice to boats and taking trash to the mainland. John will document all the ideas that were discussed and send to the board for discussion at future meetings. Float Down Motion : Moved by John Sweier and seconded by Frank Corcoran that NCYC mandates that everyone who participates in a float down wear a life jacket and that life jackets are mandatory for anyone participating in a float down . Motion Carried. Dale Hall: Dale advises that Memorial Day Training will include training for all OD’s and cover the State of Michigan liquor laws.
