Approval of Meeting Minutes from March 20, 2025 Commodore, Bill Burkhardt Motion: P/C Rick Romantz made a motion to approve Minutes from previous Board Meeting from March 20, 2025. Second: Philip Maniaci Motion Carried Commodore, Bill Burkhardt "Good evening everyone, and welcome. It's hard to believe we're just over a week away from our first work weekend! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone pitch in and get the club ready for the season. First, an update on the flooring. We've placed the order, and delivery is scheduled for next week. Unfortunately, we ran into a slight budget issue. When I got the initial quote, I overlooked the fact that freight wasn't included – my apologies for that. The First Mates have generously offered $5,000, which is incredibly appreciated. We may need an additional $500 to $1,000 to cover the final costs, but we'll keep you updated as we finalize the details. Speaking of getting things done, our first Elite Brigade weekend is set for the 19th. We'll be providing lunch for everyone, and we're aware that some of you will need to leave a bit early for bowling. We appreciate you giving your time to the club even with a time constraint. I've also been in close contact with Steve Murray, and we're on track to order the wood for battleship row next week. We're making great progress! Mark your calendars! Our official club opening is Thursday, May 24th at noon. Please remember that only the ODs, John and Shelley Sweier, and their dedicated team will be on-site prior to that time as they finalize the opening preparations. And some exciting news for our opening! Tom, our fantastic Bald Chef, has graciously agreed to cook his famous burgers again on Thursday and prepare his special Friday night dinner. He's also planning a delightful surprise for our dinner guests, so you won't want to miss that. We're trying a new system for dinner service this year, a real waiting list by table number. We hope this will streamline things and ensure a more efficient experience. While you might wait a little longer to place your order, we anticipate your food will arrive more quickly. Thank you all for your dedication and support. Let's work together to make this season our best yet. Commodore’s Comments
