Commodore's Notes - RE: LAST MEETING - THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS - ELECTION DINNER - NOTES

MEMBERS:

Our last meeting for the year will be held on Wednesday, November 1, 2017 @ 7:00PM at the boat club building instead of Tuesday, October 31, 2017 because of Halloween running on the same day as our normally scheduled meetings.

As another year is coming to a close, I just want to say thank you to everybody who has helped make this club a great club throughout the year. In addition, thank you for all those who have helped volunteer again in all of our events and activities.

For our new members, I would like to remind them that this club has been in existence for 63 years and still going strong. As with any club, it takes involvement and dedication to make it successful.

I hope everyone has enjoyed this first full year at our new facility and looking forward to many more years of the same.

JUST A COUPLE NOTES BEFORE THE YEAR ENDS:

1. The building will be open through the winter months for everyone to use at their convenience.

2. As most everyone knows, we do not have monthly meetings in November or December, but will again resume for our first meeting on the last Tuesday, January 30, 2018 at the American Legion, Post 80 in Whiting across from the Walgreen's parking lot for our annual Election Dinner. Further information regarding Election Dinner will follow via U.S. Mail.

Also, we will meet at the American Legion, Post 80 for the February and possibly March meetings, depending on the weather.

3. I have asked for an update on our Wi-Fi and flagpoles. I have not heard anything back from the City of Whiting as of yet.

4. Please continue to check our website for events that may be taking place in the next few months such as a Super Bowl Party, possible Poker Night, etc.

Last but not least, our Country is experiencing extreme peril. So I would like to leave you with something that was passed on to me...

For all who remember Red Skeleton. Please click on this commentary classic by him as he explains the meaning of the words in our "Pledge of Allegiance".

Again, Thank You,

Mike Hill

Commodores Report

Members please be advised:
 
1- The Whoa Zone has now been removed from the lake and is now finished for this year.
 
2- The Channel Buoys in the harbor have also been removed as of Tuesday, September 5, 2017. Keep in mind these buoys are the City of Whitings property, not ours. You will now have to be extremely careful when launching your boats to access the big lake. Please try to stay dead center of the channel or you may run aground.
 
3- It has been brought to my attention that our Last Boat Club Meeting date for the year and Halloween fall on the same day, Tuesday, October 31, 2017. Due to this, I am asking everyone to meet the next day on Wednesday, November 1, 2017 instead. This will be the last meeting of the year. We do not conduct meetings in November or December due to hunting in November and Christmas in December. But please be aware that the Boat Club building will still be open and accessible year round. This includes November and December. We will announce this change to move the last meeting date at this Saturdays, September 9, 2017 Dock Party and again at our Tuesday, September 26, 2017 meeting.
 
Meetings will resume again on Tuesday, January, 30, 2018 at the American Legion Post 80 in Whiting for the 2018 Election Dinner. More information regarding the 2018 Election Dinner will follow in a future mailing.
 
Thank you all in advance,
