MAY 2018 BEACON

We are now in the month of May and it appears we are looking like we may have a little Spring weather. Our last two (2) Elite Brigade work parties were well attended and we are starting to get some things accomplished. The new siding is starting to make good headway thanks to Don Shepperson’s leadership. The new floor in the kitchen area in front of the ice makers is also taking shape thanks to the leadership of John Mantyk with the help of Dennis Pomeroy and Steve Murray (who is a new member). We still have a list of duties that are still required to make the island come alive. So please plan on coming out and lending a hand. We have had several new members attend the Elite Brigade weekends so far and their work efforts are truly appreciated by the Club. Exciting news……..P/C Denise Huntley along with P/C Bill Bauer are bringing back our Steer Roast for our “Fitting Out” weekend starting May 26 th . The First mates will be hosting an appetizer patio party before the General membership meeting. We then have our General Membership meeting which starts at 1:00 PM, where you will get a chance to meet our new members, followed by the Steer Roast. We have entertainment planned that evening. On Sunday we will continue with our opening Flag raising ceremonies with a complementary luncheon to follow. Please mark your calendars for Ladies Week. It will be starting Sunday June 10 th at 6:00 PM thru Thursday, June 14 th after lunch. Look for future Fan Outs for further information. We still need 2 weekday managers to fill our missing slots in September. Please try to get some member friends together to fill those two missing weeks and let Vicky or Dick Raymond know.
