July Beacon

We hope everyone had a wonderful 4 th of July holiday and was able to celebrate with their family and friends. When it comes down to it, there really is nothing more important than the people you love, trust or simply want to be around and no better place to enjoy their company than on the North Channel Island. Summer is finally here, and our island is in full swing. Ladies’ week was a lot of fun with great friends, good food, non-stop laughter, several activities and fond memories that we will cherish for many years to come. The next General Membership meeting will be Saturday, August 31 st in the clubhouse @ 10:00am. Followed by a Labor Day “Tropical Paradise” themed Polish Dinner on Sunday, September 1st . Reservations can be sent to Susan Burkhardt by August 25 th . Please check the Beacon for further details. Consider joining a great group of women – feel free to get involved, don’t be shy, volunteer and share your time, talents and ideas. Consider running for a board position. More information to follow from our First Mates Nominating Committee – they will be looking for YOU! The Boutique is always available for your shopping fix while on the island. You can never have enough NCYC logo wear. Come visit us next time you are at the club.

Our Christmas party plans are underway. Save the date for Thursday, December 5 th at Watermark Bar and Grille in St. Clair Shores. More details to follow.

My last mention for this month is a gentle reminder on how fortunate we ALL are to be a part of this NCYC family, sharing this beautiful island, in the warmth of the Michigan summer sun. While we take a moment to reflect on our many blessings, please consider participating in our 2024 charitable project to support “The Macomb Charitable Foundation: Serving Underprivileged Children”. The donation jars are in the clubhouse and donations will be accepted throughout the boating season.

Warm Regards, Cathy Scarpaci 2024 First Mates Publicity Director
