Commodore’s Comments: PC Rick Romatz Hello NCYC Membership, with this great

weather mother nature is bringing us in early March this year looks like we could be headed into an early spring and time to uncover the boats earlier than normal this year and getting the 2024 boating season underway, with that being said, it’s also time to start thinking about waking up our old girl from the winter’s nap and getting our Paradise Island in the sun ready for the 2024 season. The Flag and Board of Directors are already hard at work putting the plans together for our spring Elite and spring work parties together. Harbor and Grounds director John O’Leary and Clubhouse director Bill Frederiksen are building their spring project and opening of the club duty schedules. Transportation director Tom Lisowski is preparing the Fin’s for launch by the first of April so watch for future Fanout notifications regarding the spring projects work parties so we can all fulfill our 4-hour spring / Fall work requirements. Our Fleet Captains Shelly and Gary Schroka are busy getting the plans together for the 2024 Rendezvous watch for future notifications with details and if you have any questions feel free to reach out to them. I want to say thank you to R/C Terry Steinmacher and Kathy Fowler for an outstanding job with the Pinball Sunday event they sponsored March 3, 2024, it was well attended by many members everyone seemed to enjoy all the games and great food and refreshments they provided.
