Also want to thank Darryl Cambell for getting Fin # 3 ready for us to use earlier than usual especially due to the cold weather conditions. Vice-Commodore’s Comments Vice Commodore, Ian Blackburn I was crossing the Blue Water Bridge to come for this meeting and the temperature on the dash was 76 degrees. I looked out on Lake Huron and it was free of ice and crystal clear. This certainly gave me the boating itch, so it’s a good thing we have the first elite brigade kicking off this weekend so that we can get the island ready for the season. I would like to thank Debbie Siwek, Ron Draper, Glenn Nixon and Brian Fringer for getting us to this point. The workload is about to shift over to Scott Greenfelder, Tom Altobelli, Darryl Campbell, Tom Martin, Dale Hall and Ken Lipowski. Just a reminder that we are a team and if you need any help please don’t be afraid to ask. Rear-Commodore’s Comments Rear Commodore, Bill Calihan I had a chance to visit the island this past Saturday with the Commodore, some of the board members and members. We made three trips to deliver the vinyl siding and accessories to the island. We also had the window installers over to finish up the window project. A lot of preliminary work and planning was done for the siding project and off course the inside of the club house projects are in full swing already. I hope the weather cooperates this weekend there is a lot of work to be done. The one improvement that really stood out was the new windows that were installed over the winter. As we approached the club on the Finn Runner you see how beautiful the club house looked and when we went in to the club house the view looking to the outside was outstanding. What a difference these new windows have made. Looking forward to SATURDAY. Financial Report Treasurer, Brian Fringer Absent, excused. Given by R/C Calihan in P/C Carroll’s absence.
