My visit to the Detroit Boat Show has given me new hope for spring. Seeing all the toys brings
me excitement in looking forward to the fun work of readying my boat for launch. It will get
warm one of these days, I am sure of it.
This time of year the board is doing the work of readying the organization for the opening of
the club. Setting up committees and collecting volunteers to support the year’s activities. The
most important attributes of our club membership is our volunteerism and the sweat equity that
we put into the club and our facilities. This year is no different there will be tons to do. Give
your board or flag members a call, and see how you can participate in the many opportunities
to support our great club.
The calendar is out and the elite brigade and work party dates are included. Please mark your
calendars and save the dates to come enjoy the fun and comradery of your fellow NCYC
extended family to make our island renewed and ready for opening. There will be new
projects to help on, as well as the annul opening activities. For the newer members, this is a
great way to forge new relationships that will change your lives forever.
As the countdown continues for launch, only 28 days, it is getting closer every day!
