JUNE 2018 BEACON

Spring was not very nice to us and Mother Nature certainly did not want to cooperate during the work parties. Nevertheless, that did not stop the NCYC membership from getting the projects completed and the Club ready for another season. I would like to give a special shout-out to Don Shepperson, Rex Oliver and Ron Braun for their countless hours on the siding project. Without their dedication and talent this project would not have been completed. We now set our sights on the Memorial Day activities! I heard that the First Mates fashion show was a huge success and all in attendance had a great time. Thanks to all who were instrumental in hosting this event; it’s a lot of work and it does not go unnoticed. I have also had the opportunity to enjoy a sneak peek in the Boatique and the excellent selection of NCYC clothing for this season. I suggest that you do not wait to purchase your favorite logo wear, as inventory will move quickly. A brief housekeeping policy reminder regarding personal garbage, as per the club policies “It is the responsibility of any member or guest to remove his rubbish from the island, whether he arrived by boat or Fin-Runner”. Thank you for being cooperative and respectful of this policy as the OD’s, their teams, and the Weekday Managers already have their hands full with running the Club. Last but certainly not least, I would like to take the opportunity and welcome the new members. “Welcome to the NCYC family! I hope you feel at home when you are on the island. I hope that your experience will be as fun and memorable as it has been for me and my family.” See you on the Island, V/C Ian Blackburn
