Commodore’s Comments: PC Bill Burkhardt

Well, the ice is gone, and Finn 3 will be splashed in 2 weeks. Things are really starting to move along. The club will be open before we know it. We have a critical need for weekday managers the first 3 weeks of the year. Starting Monday May 12th for 3 consecutive weeks. Please if you can help out please give Colleen Braun a call. Even if it is for part of the week. We are putting the finishing touches on the agenda for the opening weekend which will be published in a couple of weeks. You should have or will see a fanout for our new Clubster software. This is going to be a game changer for the club, constant news feed, interactive calendar and much more. Keep an eye out for an email to sign up asap. Then feel free to play with it a bit to get used to it. It is pretty simple, if you can use Facebook you will have no issues with this. The First Mates Fashion Show is Sunday, April 27 at the Mirage 11:30 am, last year was great this year promises to be as well. Elite Brigade - This will be a much smaller group this year. We have only a couple of projects going. If you have carpentry or flooring experience please let me know asap. The Blessing of the Fleet at Mariner’s Church in Detroit was a beautiful service attended by PC Pagel, PC Rick and Jill Romatz, Rear Commodore Mark and Sharon Javery, Shelley and John
