2023 - January Beacon

From the Flag Commodore Brian Fringer

Vice Commodore P/C Rick Romatz Rear Commodore Bill Burkhardt

This year we are going to keep the tradition, that we started this past year, of having one complete message from the Flag versus duplicating comments with individual articles. We will attempt to address the critical issues of the club and keep everyone informed of the upcoming events. We would like to welcome everyone to the 2023 season and wish everyone a Happy New Year. It is an honor for Rick, Bill and myself to serve as your Flag Officers this year. We also wanted to send a special thank you to Past Commodore Dale and his Lady Colleen for making 2022 a fantastic year. They did a great job serving the club and providing leadership to keep our great club moving forward. We would like to remind everyone that NCYC is a private, members-only, working club. As a working club, please remember we are working toward a common goal that creates strong bonds and lifelong friendships. NCYC is a great big family and we need to remember to treat everyone with respect. We have a lot that needs to be completed prior to the Fitting Out weekend on Friday May26th, 2023. Please watch for communication regarding the dates for Elite Brigade and normal work parties. The planned projects are:

● Robinson Seawall and new walkway ● Installing new Pedestals ● New garage and outside walk-in cooler ● New walkways south and west of the Boutique Yes, our plate is very full and we will need lots of help to pull this off.

Our Fleet Captain’s, Shelly and Gary Schroka have three great rendezvous planned this year. The dates and locations are listed below. Please mark your calendars and plan on attending. They are going to be fantastic. Details including how to make reservations to follow soon. ● June 23 rd – June 25 th – South Channel Yacht Club ● July 14 th – July 16 th – Metro Beach ● August 11 th – August 13 th – St. Clair Boat Harbor
