2022 - March - Beacon

weekends. These weekends will satisfy any members 4 hours of required work for opening the club. There will be many projects to keep us busy, so we encourage you to come out early and fulfill your hours. If Elite Brigade does not work for you, May 14 th & May 21 st are the official work party dates. As a reminder, Fitting Out weekend will be May 28 th & 29 th with the First Mates Meeting and General Membership meeting on Saturday and Flag Raising Ceremony on Sunday. At the NCYC Board of Director’s February meeting, a vacancy on the Board of Directors was addressed. In January, we accepted the resignation of our Treasurer and in accordance with the NCYC By-Laws, a nomination was made at our next Board of Directors meeting. At the February meeting a motion was made to consider Marie Pepin as a new director on the NCYC Board. The motion received a second and was approved unanimously. Effective immediately, Christa Betts will become the new Treasurer and Marie Pepin will become the Membership Director. (Please see the updated, complete list of Flag Officers and Board Members on a later page in the Beacon) Two additional events that were discussed at the Board of Directors meeting were the upcoming Blessing of the Fleet at the Mariners’ Church of Detroit, starting at 3PM on March 13th. The Flag also looks forward to supporting the First Mates during their 2022 Fashion Show scheduled for May 1 st . For all our members that are enjoying the winter in a southern state or for everyone vacationing, please travel safe and we look forward to an early Spring and seeing you at the Elite Brigade weekends. Thank you to everyone in advance for your dedication and for finding ways to use your talent to better our club.

Your Flag,
