Page 3 of 8

Talked about the Clean Marine Certification Program and whether NCYC should sign up. Cost is $400 and will require someone to take a class. Being we don’t sell gas or have a large garbage disposal, may not be worth it. Scott asked if this certificate might help in our effort to renew the harbor lease coming up? $300 to take the class, $100 fee every 3 years. Scott would like to take the class. P/C Carroll will get more information. Upcoming ABYA Events: • ABYA Spring Rendezvous March 9 th , 10 th and 11 th . • ABYA Millionaires Party at the Winter Gardens Tavern March 28 th -31st and April 11 th – 14 th . • Volunteers are needed for these dates. • ABYA Mac Ray Harbor Educational Series classes March 22th. • Celebrate the Lake June 9 th at Mac Ray Harbor. • MBIA Metro Boar Show this September, • ABYA Commodore’s Ball December 1th, 2018, • Info on all events can be found on the ABYA website. Correspondence All Brian received a letter from Inner Lakes Yachtsman Fund looking for yacht club donations of $1 per member. Has nothing to do with ILYA. Board decided against donating. Our annual dues for ILYA were discussed. Motion to approve renewing by Scott Greenfelder, second Bill Calihan. Motion Carried R/C Bill Calihan suggest we send a sympathy card on behalf of NCYC to Bill Belfore for the passing of his father. Commodore Pagel heard from Judy McHugh who attended the funeral of Dick Raymond’s mother and stated the flowers sent by NCYC were “gorgeous”. PC Whyard’s appreciation award is finished and P/C Pagel will send. P/C Carroll received a call from the son of original Chrysler Yacht Club Commodore P/C Jack Buzard and requested that we hang a picture and biography of his late father in the clubhouse. All agreed this would be very nice and approved. P/C Carroll invited him to visit the club for this event, but physical mobility will prevent him from visiting. Ron suggested he add this picture to the upcoming 2018 roster

in the history section. CURRENT BUSINESS Activities –

Tom Martin

Passed out the spreadsheet of activities for the year. Still changes to be made. Club House – Scott Greenfelder Gas valves for the stove are due in. Also, Mr. James Taylor (not the singer) from Simco gas would like to visit the club as part of Scott’s investigation into replacing the current LP tank gas supply to the clubhouse. After re-inspecting the floor thickness under the icemaker, I need to rethink the floor plan. The floor is not as thick as I thought.
