JANUARY 2019 BEACON

Marie and I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope that you had a joyful Holiday Season with family and friends.

It is truly an honor to be the 2019 Commodore of such a prestigious Yacht Club that is steeped in history. I look forward to serving the club and I also know that it cannot be done alone. I would like to welcome Glenn Nixon as our Rear Commodore, Frank Corcoran as our Secretary, Tom Huntley as the Activities Director, John Sweier as the Club House Director, Leslie Leitch as the Fleet Captain, Brian Roath as the Board Recorder, and all the returning Flag members and Directors. I look forward to having the immediate Past Commodore, Randy Pagel, on the board to provide his wisdom and friendship. The First Mates and Ancient Mariners are also a vital part of the NCYC fabric. I look forward to working with Shelley Sweier, Archie Archibald and the members of these fine groups. I would also like to thank all the members that have stepped forward to organize and champion an event for the upcoming season. It is through these events that the NCYC spirit and camaraderie are solidified.
