NCYC April 2021 Beacon

From the Bridge – Vice Commodore Dale Hall

With a little bout of winter weather at the end of February, the extended forecast appears to be

warming up Southeast Michigan as we move into mid-March. With all of us holding our collective breath for the second half of March to stay above average temperature, we will be headed to the island very soon to start getting it ready for a great year. A special thank you to Secretary Gary for developing the work schedule for the year and for trying to accommodate everyone’s schedule to complete their weekend work hours. Also, a big thank you to Publication’s Director Melissa for getting the Beacon’s out consistently and to our Membership Director Debbie for her ongoing work with dues and all the incoming new members. With the weather turning, the big work for the rest of us will start this month and really kick into high gear on April 17 th for our first Elite Brigade weekend. As you prepare for the Summer, please make sure your NCYC Burgee is in plain view on your boat and remind all our members to do the same. This is also a great time to check all your boat’s safety equipment and update anything that is damaged or missing. We look forward to seeing everyone face to face in April and May. V/C Dale
