Commodore’s Comments

Commodore, Randy Pagel

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the first General Membership meeting of 2018. The purpose of the General Membership meetings is twofold. First to keep the membership informed of the Club business and the second is to allow the membership input into the process. So please feel free to ask questions. Obviously, the last 6 weekends have been challenging to us as it relates to weather. If my memory serves, 5 of the 6 Saturdays were wet. But, the good news, with the help of our membership, the majority of our major projects are mostly complete. We have a few more weeks of siding to finish and a little more painting, but all in all, another outstanding job by our working members to make NCYC stand tall. I am humbled by the huge amount of support Linda and I have received the first part of the 2018 Boating season. We are looking forward to 20 weeks of fun and camaraderie at North Channel Yacht Club. I am looking forward to our Steer Roast tonight hosted by P/C Bauer and P/C Huntley and family. I know you will be impressed with the dinner and the entertainment this evening. Then on Sunday, our Memorial Day Flag raising ceremony will take place at 1:00 PM., followed by the great luncheon put on by our own “Tiara” group. Blessing of the fleet at 3:00 PM by Father Steve, so get ready for a fun filled Memorial Day weekend. Lastly, I want to publicly thank Carla and Kevin Verkest for designing, making and installing my Commodore’s dock sign. Linda and I truly appreciate the way it turned out. Vice-Commodore’s Comments Vice Commodore, Ian Blackburn Welcomed everybody to official opening weekend. Lots of great efforts getting the club ready. Five weeks of rain placed a burdened on our team. Mentioned pluming issues. Ladies did deep cleaning in clubhouse getting club ready for opening. Recognized a number of members who provided significant support. Mentioned new method of switching the POS system. Mentioned to look out for Mackey’s minnow boat parked right behind the Fin. Welcomed new members. Rear-Commodore’s Comments Rear Commodore, Bill Calihan Mentioned participation bringing success. Thanks for all the hard work everyone did. Shout out to Tom Altobelli and Debbie Siwek. Have a good summer. Treasurer, Brian Fringer Brian walked the membership through the financial report year end 2017 and current 2018.
