April 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.
