Admiral Shelly and I just returned from the KCYC cruise to Lopez Island. I realized one night while enjoying a cocktail on the aft deck of the Knotty Shell that the nights are getting cooler, which means fall is right around the corner. The cruise to Lopez Island was a grand way to close out the summer season. As I reflected back on all the events our club participated since May, I was thinking how fortunate I am to be a member of a Yacht Club with so many fun activities to choose from. And you can t say enough about the fantastic weather we had to back up these events. Shelly and I have some fond memories. What are your best memories of the summer? We would like to hear about them at our Friday night happy hour or general meeting. A big thank you goes to Cheryl Callais for once again hosting the Annual KCYC golf tournament. I was not able to attend and show off my golf prowess this year but I hear that those who were there all had a great time. I will make sure that I attend next year because once people see me golf, they feel much better about their own game. Just because summer is coming to a close does NOT mean that the fun will be coming to an end. We have additional activities coming to our Friday night happy hour, our world famous Comedy Night is just a few weeks away, and a cruise to Blake Island in September to just name a few events. Look for additional announcements of these events. Check the KCYC calendar as we have several new Friday night events coming. On Friday September 5th, Butch and Sallie will be hosting a barbeque. Bring your own meat to grill and enjoy some other goodies for 5 dollars per person. Following that you will have opportunity to play Bingo. Bob and Deni Lee will be in charge of the Bingo. There could be some interesting prizes available. KCYC members will be voting on the Nominating committees recommendations for the new board during the September general meeting. I hope to see all members at the next General Meeting. This is a great opportunity to have your voice heard and exercise your voting privilege.
Commodore's Report (Continued) Mark your calendars on October 18 th for the Commodores Ball. Let s welcome the new Commodore with good food, cheers and a chance to dance your socks off. More details to follow on this event. I hope to see all of you at our Yacht club this month. The warm weather should hang on for a bit longer so come out and enjoy it with good friends from KCYC. If you are not having fun, it s your own darn fault! Alan Kester, Commodore Vice Commodore's Report From the Vice: Thanks go out to the Port of Kingston for the work that they have completed on our deck project. It has been a busy summer, but they have managed to paint out the railing and replace and paint the boards on the ramp coming up to the front door. Parking has been discussed by the Board and as we have stated all members can park in our designated parking spots. We would ask that you display your membership card at times when the Club is closed and use good judgment. Spots are not to be used for daily commuters. We have asked the Port not to ticket cars. We will monitor this situation. The Board has decided to hire a member to do the Club Rental. The new position will start on Oct. 1st. It will pay 20% of the rental income.
