FEBRUARY 2015 BEACON

Commodores Comments…

Renee and I would like to thank everyone who attended the 2015 Commodore’s Ball. We had a great time and we were very happy we could share such a special night with such great friends and family. For those of you who couldn’t make it, we missed you and based on how full the dance floor was all night long you missed one heck of a party! Thanks Soul Provider for the awesome performance. Many thanks to everyone who helped us pull off this event, and to all of you who came in Saturday morning for set up. Congratulations to Ian Blackburn & Marie Pepin for their Spirit Award and Diane French for the Member of the Year Award. Both richly deserved for all their hard work and dedication. 2015 projects are already under way. The Point of Sale (POS) system has arrived! Ian Blackburn our supplies director has been communicating with the manufacturer and has provided them our menu, which will be loaded on our system just in time for our first training session in February. All of the components for the new PA/Music system have also been ordered and will be at the clubhouse for us to begin installation at the first Elite Brigade party. We will also have the components for the heat and air on hand as well. Hopefully everyone will pitch in their time and expertise to complete all of these projects before opening weekend. The 2015 work schedule is filling up. All members, if you haven’t already, need to send your top three choices for a work weekend to our Secretary Randy Pagel so that he can complete the schedule. If you are interested in managing for a week, contact PC Harley Burris. There are still three weeks open. NCYC has a couple of winter events coming up. Both are a great opportunity to get together and enjoy great company. First is the 5th Annual NCYC Ski/Snowmobile weekend at Shanty Creek. It should be a great time! Next is the ABYA Spring Rendezvous in Midland. This weekend always promises to be a lot of fun. I'm sure this year will be no exception. Watch your fan outs and the Beacon for details on both of these great events. Commodore Brian McEvoy
