Vice Commodore’s Comments

I would like just to say Thank You to this Board for the Great 2023 NCYC Season. We had a lot of unusual issues to put before us and in my opinion, we handled them in a professional manner and in the best interest of the club and membership. This board consistently worked together to get the jobs done. Thak You Al Douglas for an awesome job as the S upplies director for the last 3 years and I’m sure this is not goodbye because I’m sure you will be there if we need a helping hand in the future. I want to say welcome to the Board, John O’Leary and Shelly . I’m excited to move on into future of NCYC with you both in 2024 I know you both have a lot to offer, Thank You. Save the date: The 2024 NCYC Commodores Ball will be February 3, 2024, at Marriott Auburn Hills. Further details will follow as we progress.
