2008 Commodore

I was officer of the month for February. Valentines Day was a hit and the St. Valentines Day Massacre was a lot of fun. The club looked great thanks to Marilyn Fisher, Sue Olsen, Bev Nicolosi, and Katie Senior. Sue Firman lead the Galley Crew, the food was great. I’d like to thank everyone who came.

     We are publishing the calendar for 2008 in this Cross Current. Be sure to mark your calendars so that you don’t miss out on anything. The calendar includes all of the things our club has planned. These are marked in black and blue. We have also included other events on Bethel Island and NCPCA events. We hope this is helpful. 

    Our budget is final and approved. 

The Board has their work cut out for them. The calendar is as active as ever, we are addressing the financial interests of the club, and we will be working hard to expand our membership. 

     We have been spending more money on events. This includes decorating, entertainment and food preparation. 

Feedback from the members has been positive. We are also trying new things, ie: Wine Tasting on Friday nights. We encourage all of you to come to the club.

     This is our 60^th Anniversary Year! 

We have scheduled our anniversary party for August 9^th. We’re looking to collect some of the memories from the past. If you have any pictures, stories or anything else from the past be sure to contact Sue Olsen. 

The Boatique should be fully stocked with our 60^th Anniversary merchandise by the time St Patty’s Day gets here. Come by the Boatique next time you’re in the club. You may find something you like.

   The Meals On Wheels Golf Tournament and the Champagne Cruise are our annual charity events. This year is the 20^th anniversary of our support for Meals on Wheels. Rich Marshall will be the chairman this year. With his leadership and your support this should be the best year ever. We are asking all of our members to participate. Whether that be on a committee, attending the event or your donation. The goal is 100% participation and only you can make that happen.
