Hello Members once again-
In addition to the Officer Nominees announced at the September Meeting, we are very fortunate to have Past Commodore Ken Centoni as a nominee from the floor for Vice Commodore. This means our bar will be in capable hands. As the only nomination from the floor it leaves every position uncontested. It does, however, leave the position of Fleet Captain open for the second year in a row. I encourage anyone that enjoys cruising and camaraderie with other clubs to consider the position. If the prospect of putting on the Lighted Boat Parade or Opening Day scares you off, how "bout this... Ken and I will help you through it. We've done it before and besides...the staff comm. position doesn't vote so I need something to do anyway. Come on guys, I know one of you would consider it without solo responsibility for two daunting events. Let your next year's Commodore know you'd take the appointment. Commodore is hard enough without a full staff so come on and be part of makin' the fun.
Movin' on.....We've got some fun stuff comin up. October 8 is a Casino Night Fundraiser with the addition of having Michael Kelly and Patricia Atkins Purchasing gold at current London prices AND donating 10% of the proceeds to SJYC. Very cool. October 22 brings our First Annual Mac-and-Cheese Throwdown. Yes, you heard that right. And no, I have no clue what a "Throwdown" is but I assume it has something to do with a food competition and alcohol. Just a guess. The precursor last Friday was a lot of fun soooo.......we'll have Bridge Marina Yacht Club and Driftwood Yacht Club joining us with their best Mac+Cheese recipes and we'll.........judge. And have a few cocktails. Sounds nuts...I'm gonna be there, and October 29 is our Halloween Party. We have a "Titanic" theme so bring your oldest Life Jacket for "lifeboat drills". This, amazingly enough, involves cocktails too....just a guess. We will have live entertainment so dress up in your best "Titanic" costume ...Doesn't have to be HUGE or anything, just...well, you know, and dance the night away on a sinking ship that can't really sink cause it's already on the bottom. Sounds fun. The following weekend is the Election Meeting Night. Please try to be there for a quorum but if you can't, absentee ballots are available at the club or by mail if you let any staff officer know by October 26th. You will be mailed a ballot that must be returned by November 3 so obviously the sooner the better. We will be using the roster for this mailing so if you're out of town include an applicable address. Alright, well that's it for now. Any club is only as good as the sum of it's members so I guess that makes us awesome. Thank you all your support...let's keep this up! ~ Commodore Rick Bower |
