The Tell Tale The Point Yacht Club Newsletter June 2016 Vol. 15, No. 05 The Point Yacht Club Mission Statement This Club exists to provide water related recreational opportunities for its members. We are dedicated to encouraging the safe and skilled operation of vessels owned by the members. The Club is a not for profit organization operated for the benefit of the members. Let me start by recognizing and welcoming Point Yacht Club s newest members, Richard & Lee Harding and Mike & Judy Mahaffey. Welcome it s wonderful to have you onboard. And as usual, I have some thank yous to all those members that made the Loo Wow, Sailstice and A Night with Elvis successes! Aside from boating, the celebrations we enjoy as a club are what keep me interested and talking about the PtYC. I can t tell you enough how much I appreciate all of the time and effort that folks put into each event THANK YOU. I ll leave you with a quick insight into some topics the Board of Governors has their collective eye on. Completion of the wheelchair ramp; hanging of the awnings/curtains; dock plans; driving membership. I hope to see many of you at the Cardboard Boat races and Fast Women later this month. Until next time, Fair Winds, see you on the water! Connie Fuqua, Commodore 1
