OCTOBER 2018 BEACON

Hello N.C.Y.C.. As I sit here writing my monthly article, Terri and I also are preparing to leave for New York to join the rest of the N.C.Y.C. travelers for the Commodore's Cruise. I have checked the weather and it appears that it will be a mixed bag but not to bad. I am looking forward to this trip as are the rest of the group. Labor Day weekend was great as usual. The membership meeting covered a lot of ground and addressed a lot of member concerns about incoming poker runs and in coming rendezvous. Afterwards the P/C’s beer bust led by P/C Pat Carroll and assisted by his fellow P/C’s, was a good time for all that attended. Thanks to Sandy Stroh and the first mates for the wonderful Polish dinner on Sunday. The food was outstanding. “Smoke on the Water” was excellent. I must say that Jeff Edgerly, Nancy, P/C John and Shelly Dixon and their team did a great job in hosting this event. The members as usual provided all sorts of their favorite dishes to share all afternoon and they were great. We ate so much during the day that I don’t know how I had any room for the awesome rib and chicken dinner that followed. Congratulations to Al Douglas and crew for taking first place in the rib cook off. Thank you to all the other chefs that entered the competition. Again, thanks to all of you who volunteer your time and talents to host these parties that bring us all together for great food, music and comaradery. I am looking forward to the Hall out. I personally want to thank all of you that stepped forward and entered your name in the election. Clubs do not live by dues alone. See you on the Island,
