November Beacon

November already, I can’t believe how fast time went by this past year. It feels like it was just yesterday I was hauling lumber and PVC boards to the Island to begin the construction of the Boutique patio. The temperature was the same as it was this past weekend anyway. Even though the time has flown past, looking back I can say we had a lot of good times with great friends this past year. Congratulations to our newly elected board members, thank you for stepping up. I look forward to working with all of you next year. Excellent Haul Out feast

Debbie, Anne and Julie! Thank you Renee McEvoy and your First Mates crew for a well- executed annual First Mates Haul out breakfast Sunday morning, we all needed that.

Thank you Commodore Don and Barb Vanover for all that you have done for the club over this past year. Likewise, thank you to Fleet Captains Greg and Yvonne Murray for all of your hard work and the good times you provided this year. I would like to thank the members of the 2013 Forward Planning Committee for their time and efforts this year, the committee consisted of: Ed Romatz, Ron Kemp, Don Ruma, Jeff Edgerly, Kevin Verkest and Ron Latowski. We had great participation in the last two work parties to close down the Island. It was really nice to see so many jump in to help and it made the closing down process very smooth. I already am looking forward to opening the club back up next spring. Please remember the November General Membership meeting. I look forward to seeing many of you at the General Membership meeting on November 9 th at Barrister Gardens. V/C John Anderson will present his budget for 2014.

Happy Thanksgiving!!! R/C Brian McEvoy
