DECEMBER 2018 BEACON

I would like to send a big thank-you to Commodore Randy Pagel and his Lady Linda for a great year. Your dedication and leadership were first-rate and more importantly your friendship with the entire membership is what everyone will remember. Recognition is also in order for the comrades leaving the Board: P/C Pat Carroll, Scott Greenfelder, Tom Martin, Ken Lipowski and Greg Brigman. Thank-you for your dedication, commitment and desire to make a positive difference for the Club! The First Mates and Ancient Mariners are two groups that should be recognized. They continually work hard to help shape the club to what it is today. Thank you for everything that you do - from fundraisers and events, to the major projects that have been completed. Last but certainly not least, I would like to thank the entire membership for your involvement in the club. You are what makes this the best club on the water and one that I am proud to say that I am a member of! Marie and I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season and look forward to seeing everyone in new year! It would be our honor if you join us on January 19 for the Commodore’s Ball. Stay warm, V/C Ian Blackburn
