FEBRUARY 2015 BEACON

From the Editor… Fun was had by all on January 24 th as we raised our glasses to our new Commodore Brian McEvoy and wife Renée, to celebrate the 50 th Anniversary of North Channel Yacht Club at the 2015 Commodore’s Ball. Planning for the club’s 2015 boating season is in high gear, and your elected board is active developing fun entertainment for the holiday’s and boating weekends ahead. I want to highlight a change the board approved in publishing the monthly meeting minutes. The change will allow the posting of the monthly Beacon earlier in the month. Starting in February, the monthly meeting minutes will be published two months following. For example, January’s meeting minutes will be published in the March Beacon. Due to, the Board of Directors has to approve the prior month’s meeting minutes before publishing them. With the board meetings taking place in the middle of each month, this will allow any ‘time sensitive’ information to be released in the monthly Beacon at the start of the month. Please look inside this issue for the up and coming events, NCYC Ski/Snowmobile Weekend, ABYA Boating Safety Seminars, and Club Calendar.
