North Channel Yacht Club April 2023 Beacon

From The Flag

A huge thank you goes out to our NCYC membership for the great attendance at the first 2 weeks of Elite Brigade work parties. Many projects have been started and a few have even been completed but, there are many more items to work on prior to opening. There are still two Elite Brigade parties (April 29 th and May 6 th ). Our two official work parties are May 13 th and May 20 th . Please continue to show up and work to make our great club “Come to Life.” The seawall project is well underway. We have the new seawall and steel installed. We are planning on starting the walkways at the third Elite Brigade work party. The new garage and walk-in cooler project have started. We have the forms built and the cement has started being laid. The tree trimmers worked the week of April 24 th, and we will need help cleaning up the branches and stumps. Our club is in a strong financial position. This is probably the best financial position for NCYC in over 15 years but, we have several large expenditures lined up in the next month. The membership has done a great job of planning and we can approach these improvements with confidence. This board has also made an extra effort to effectively communicate to our membership in a consistent and straight forward manner our financial position. It can be found on the website in the “Documents/Financial Documents” section. At the March and April Board of Directors Meeting, we reviewed several clarifications and suggestions to club policies. After careful review and much discussion, we have adjusted the following policies: 1. Policy For Members in Waiting and Members on Leave of Absence. 2. Policy for Incoming Rendezvous.

3. Arrival of Guests and Visiting Yachtsmen. 4. Annual Dues and Split Payment Policy.

The new verbiage will be in the 2023 roster, and we will be completing a fan out to address the new policies.

We have scheduled our 2 nd TIPS Training. It will be held May 7 th , 2023 at Huron Point Yacht Club at noon. If you have not done so, please contact VC/PC Romatz to reserve your seat for the training.

Spring of 2023 has been challenging, yet very rewarding. We look forward to milder weather and a great start to the year for our North Channel family. Thank you to everyone in advance for your dedication and for finding ways to use your talent to better our club.

Your Flag, Brian Fringer Commodore

A Message from Chaplain Mark Javery

CHAPLAIN NOTES APRIL 2023

Since the last Beacon was published our membership seems to be doing pretty good. Director Philip Maniaci is home and continues to improve and I am not aware of any in our membership currently in the hospital. Pray for safety and journey mercies for our club family who will be returning from their winter havens. I hope everyone enjoyed time with their loved ones during the celebration of Easter and took time to praise God for the greatest gift of all, eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16 KJV For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Life begins Again in April by Lenore Hetrick

Life begins again in April! How this dead earth comes to flower! How the dry boughs wake and quicken In this blooming, springtime hour!

Life begins again in April!

And the bird is on the wing, Brooks are flowing, breezes tender In a rhapsody of spring. Where’s the heart that can be downcast? Where’s the eye that does not brighten? Behold the world so fresh and new As the dark skies part and lighten! Those who sorrow shall take comfort, Those who droop shall smile again. April brings a message clearly To the weariest of men. Yesterday may lie in ruins, All the past be dead and drear. Just forget that! Skies are bright blue! It’s the springtime of the year.

It is April! Nature’s own month! It’s April! Heaven’s season!

April – flowering – stirring – blooming! Quite beyond man’s meager reason.

Life begins again – in April! Hill and valley reel with living. To all things new life she brings With joyous fervor in her giving.

Zechariah 10:1 Ask the Lord for rain in the springtime; it is the Lord who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and the plants of the field to everyone.

Commodore, Brian Fringer

Commodore’s Comments

Rachel and I would like to thank everyone that came on the Commodore’s Cruise. We hope everyone enjoyed the Encore, the sun, the fun and camaraderie. I would also like to thank everyone who participated in the first of two TIPS training held at North Star Sail Club. Please remember this is required for all OD Managers, Weekday Managers, BOD and Flag. We have not determined the exact date for the second training. However, it will be late April or early May. The location is still TBD, but we are hoping to hold it on the island. I look forward getting out to the island in the very near future to start assessing any damage from the Winter. I also look forward to start working on the long list of projects we have for the spring. Please remember the Elite Brigade work parties starts April 15 th and continues for the next three Saturdays. The next two Saturdays will be the official work parties. The First Mates Fashion Show is April 30 th , 2023. Please send your reservation to Rachel Fringer if you plan on attending. Thank You to all of the Board Members and members that were able to come out and join us for the TIPS training March 4th at North Star Sail Club. At this point, we will have 45 TIPS certified trained members and hopefully after the next class we put together we will have more than enough members trained to keep ourselves covered at all times. We have a lot of Policy changes moving forward this year and I think it’s important that we get the Membership informed of these changes as soon as possible. Keeping in mind we are a social club and we need to educate our Weekend OD’s and Weekday Managers and members of the importance of enforcing these changed policies in a friendly way as much as possible. We should think about some signage moving forward as we started with last year to remind our members and guests of some of these changes i.e. only NCYC members can purchase alcohol; alcoholic beverages from your boats or coolers are prohibited in the club house and areas covered by the MLCC License. Vice Commodore’s Comments Vice Commodore, Rick Romatz

These are just a couple of my thoughts I’m sure we can put our heads together to get this done properly.

Rear Commodore, Bill Burkhardt

Rear Commodore’s Comments

First, I want to thank Brian and Rachel for a great cruise experience. All of Rachel’s hard work paid off with a great cruise. Final plans and numbers are coming together for the new garage, I will have a detailed plan and report next month. Since there is virtually no ice this year, I will be uncovering the pontoon in a couple of weeks so we can get over to the island and get things set up for the spring work parties. We are going to need everyone’s help to complete all of this year's projects. Phase I of the garage project will be getting the ground ready and pouring the slab. We will need lots of member help on this part of the project.

The Board is off to a great start doing great work for the club.

ABYA Report

P/C Hall presented a brief summary of ABYA activities for 2023.

Correspondence

Correspondence received from a Member (anonymously):

Proposal: E liminate special status member categories, “ Senior and Non- boater”(excluding junior members).

Rationale: By having these reduced dues categories, the fixed operating and maintenance costs of the Club is unfairly shifted to the 184 full paying members. This also reduces the revenue of the Club for ongoing operating costs by $25,125 per year (see Table below). Additionally, this causes certain members to pay less for the same benefits that all members enjoy. In the current environment of high inflation and material and labor costs, NCYC can achieve an increase in operating revenue without having to go back to the membership for dues increase. We also need to be aware that we currently have a member waiting list than can backfill any outgoing members.

Dues scenarios summarized in following Table:

Current Member Dues Status:

Flag Officers ’ Response:

The Flag is not in favor of removing the Senior Member category for the following reasons:

1) This would impact more than the yearly dues payment. We would also have to adjust the work hours for these members and many senior members are not able to work those additional hours. 2) This group is a finite number of people and is decreasing every year. This membership category will be eliminated over time due to attrition and does not need a new rule. 3) We do not support the possibility of pressuring (or running out) long time members that do so much for our club. The Flag is NOT in favor of removing the Non-Boating Member category for the following reasons: 1) This would require changes to our Junior Members benefit of being allowed to join the club as a non-boating member. If we choose the option of still allowing them to join as Non-Boating we will have the discrepancy of allowing it for some members and not others. Discrepancies of this nature are never good in a volunteer organization. 2) We do not have enough wells to change all non-boating members to boating status. If they pay full price, they will expect to be able to come to the island if not on their boat then on someone else's boat. 3) A significant cost to running the club is docking, seawall, pedestals, Wi-Fi, dock power, etc. In general, non-boating members do not use or contribute to these expenses as such they are deserving of a lower rate. All Board members are entitled to their own opinion on this. If anyone disagrees with the stance taken by the Flag, we are open to adding this as an agenda item for the next Board meeting. If not, this will be read into the Board minutes per our by-laws.

Thank You! For those who don’t know, this bowling season NCYC bowlers organized a fundraiser to raise money to give our kid’s room a facelift. Special thanks to our First Mates, First Lady Rachel Fringer, Colleen Hall, Christa Betts, and Jill Romatz for their time and prize donations. A huge shoutout to our members for buying tickets each month and making this fundraiser a success! We raised $1,070.00! Looking forward to creating a space for our youth to enjoy and make memories! For those that would like to support the cause but may not have had the opportunity to get involved, we are still collecting donations for the kid’s room and our youth events. New and used games and toys would be much appreciated. For more information, please contact Shelby Romatz at (586)265-7797.
