shape. Questions came up as to if this dock is owned by NCYC. Needs to determine who owns the dock to get it repaired and safe again.

Membership Debbie Siwek We’re at 189 boating members. Debbie went thru last 15 years of rosters and found the highest boating membership we had was 219 in 1993; we’re still far from waiting list. Got 4 new applications tonight. Need to interview. Did 5 interview on Labor Day and Darryl Campbell did one next day. Asked if we want to do more interviews? Passed out new member prospects interviews to get scheduled. P/C Blackburn asked why such an influx of new members? Debbie thought the membership drive Kim Miedema put on last year may explain some of the increase. Lot’s of younger people becoming interested. Publications – Ron Draper Got an email to upgrade the website to make it more secure by adding an S to the Hyper Text Transfer Protocal (will be https instead of http). This will protect us from hackers. Also wants to get a Security Certificate. Cost is about $45 – $100 per year. Ron recommended we do it. Scott Greenfelder made motion to get the security Certificate, Brian Fringer seconded. Motion Carried Dale Hall Got rid of older slow selling booze and replaced with more desired brands. Got good reviews so far. Rundown on numbers. Up about 27% from last year. Wine up 47%. Transportation – Darryl Campbell Fin Two (the Mackie with the blue top) has had the closed cooling removed and converted to raw water cooling as the closed system is not needed in our fresh water environment. The Fin will still need some tweaking as the old thermostat is not allowing the motor to run at design temperature. Fin Three (the Stanley “Tin Fin”). Has had the fuel filter changed. The zero turn mower has had a low oil pressure kill switch installed and the break-in oil and filter from last year was changed and replaced with synthetic oil. Fleet Captain – Ken Lipowski Sent last Fanout for the GPYC rendezvous. Need final number in by June 15 th . CRYC will be next. Secretary – No report Supplies – Glenn Nixon
