July 2022 Flag Comments

From The Flag We would like to thank our great NCYC membership for making June a great month on the island. The weather has been unseasonably warm which has resulted in the boating season getting off to a faster than normal pace. The weekend activities at the club have been very well attended throughout the month of June and even the weekdays have seen many members staying overnight to enjoy the beauty of the island and the comradery of our membership. Many members continue to work tirelessly to maintain the island and the clubhouse, and we can’t thank you enough for all the hard work. Membership continues to grow at NCYC and this month our Membership Director, Marie Pepin, developed and printed cards that contain the membership application information. The application for new members has been moved on-line and the card provides all the necessary information for a potential new member to apply. If someone is interested in membership, please ask a bar tender to locate these 2 ½ inch square pocket cards in the drawer behind the bar. The Flag & Board of Directors are closely monitoring our membership numbers and will start a wait list as we near our maximum number of boating members, which is 210. If you have been thinking of introducing a potential member to NCYC, please do not hesitate to get their application started. Last month we mentioned the unforeseen circumstances surrounding the Blue Awning between A Dock & B Dock. A new design was used to secure the supports for the awning and some very high-quality welding was performed at the peak to ensure a long-lasting repair. Take-a-look and we think you will agree that the awning has not looked this good since it was brand new. Thanks to the team that pulled this project together early in June and completed it on June 12, just before the hot days hit Southeast Michigan. When you see Kevin Verkest, Jim Douglas, Steve Olsen; Pete Poirier on the island, please thank them for their great work. NCYC has sponsored two charity boat rallies already this summer providing our club the ability to give back to the community. Special thanks to P/C Randy and Linda Pagel and Randy’s son Randall for organizing The Parkinson Foundation Fun
