2025 - August Beacon

We are already well into August and it still shocks me how fast our season of summer can pass by.

My bicep surgery slowed us down, drastically reducing our boating this year. Sharon and I were sad to also miss two NCYC rendezvous because of it. Yet this event showed me clearly how blessed we are to have availability of rooms upstairs. Having “lived” up there a good deal of the summer it has given me a new appreciation for Director Bill Frederiksen and all the constant, varied, items he must deal with for us all. Thank you Bill. Although school will be returning complicating many of our lives there are still many activities left at NCYC. Try to make it a point to participate. Not only will you be supporting your club, but you will have the best times doing so. Having enjoyed most Friday night dinners put on by Chef Tom, his family, and team this summer I want to extend to them my heartfelt thank you! They truly care that we get quality products and good service. This being said, on more than one occasion, again this year, I was made aware of members or their guests not treating servers with respect. Even if a concern seems valid, remember that catering to us on an island and the way everyone arrives around the same time, it is not easy to accommodate us. Be kind!!! As I write this, I am preparing to pack more things than needed, so we can Finn over to the island tomorrow and stay through the weekend. Another weekend filled with events, entertainment , and camaraderie.

Get out, participate, enjoy all that NCYC has to offer.
