Commodore, John Anderson

Thank you everyone for your attendance this evening. Between work, our private lives and the weather these days, it's a wonder we have time for anything else. But we're here and taking care of the business of our Club. We will see the fruits of our labor soon and it will make it all worth our effort. I want to thank everyone that attended the Commodore's Ball. A lot of you pitched in and helped with things. Most importantly, I hope that you all enjoyed yourselves there. It was you being there that made it the good time that it was for me. It's a slow time of the year right now. Not much activity going on. I'm using this time now for planning and setting up for the summer ahead of us. Once things start for the season with the Club, there will only be time for doing. The planning and paperwork need to be done now. I have to put a 'plug' in for ABA and our PC Rick Romatz who's Rear Commodore for that organization. PC Rick is organizing this Spring Rendezvous for ABYA at Midland this year. If at all possible, I hope that you can attend this event and give Rick the support that he needs to pull this off . NCYC has always been a leader in attending the Spring Rendezvous for them and I hope that we can continue in this tradition.

I am happy that we are getting closer to warm weather. This is an important meeting because we are going to approve our committee members. These people are the behind the scenes people that help us do our jobs. Thanks to John for a wonderful ball and a great time at the Commodores Ball. I look forward to a great summer.
