Membership –BobCarnaghi We have 4 people on the waiting list. We brought in a lot of people this year, but we must keep themembership drive going. Looking forward to another great summer at NCYC. Publications –GregBrigman Thanks to themembership, I appreciateall of the support I received this year. Thanks to Commodore Don for a great year. Five years ago I started on the board as the Board Recorder. I have seena lot of conversations, arguinganddebates at themeetings in the past, but this year therewereno fightsor arguing. Thiswas agreat board this year. Secretary –Diane French I knowwe have a lot to cover tonight, so I promise to keep this short. Because this is the LAST time I will have the opportunity to speak to this membership as a Board of Director, I just want to say THANK YOU for thosewho have supportedme the last nine years. A special thanks to P/C JimWhyard for his persistence to getme to run that first time. I started with Publications for 5 years, Activities for one year, then Supplies and this last year Secretary. Iwould like to saywhat apleasure it has beenworkingwith this Flag and Board this year. I think we should ALL give a SPECIAL thanks to Commodore Don & Barbara Vanover for making it such a FUN year. If anyone has any thoughts of running for office, I highly recommend it. Youwill get somuchmore out of it than you canpossibly imagine. Youonlyget out of this clubwhat youput into it. I saw a sign at the Leader Dog for the Blind in Rochester that reads, "Volunteers are unpaid, not because they areworthless but because they are priceless." So, asmy last act, on behalf of my fellow officers, I would like to make a motion to double the pay checksof ALLof theofficers. Forme, most of you have heardmy story, the opportunity to serve on this Board came at theperfect time inmy life. My husbandhad just passed away and at the same time I lost my job. Being on this Board gavememy "purpose in life" back. You have no idea what youhavedone forme. And for that, I can't thankyouenough.
