On the down side, I need to inform the membership that the way we have
been handling waste and trash, ie. oils, antifreeze, mixed fluids,
batteries, old refrigerators and other appliances, propane bottles and
gas cans has to change immediately. Waste fluids must be emptied into
the proper barrels and not left in containers on the floor. Old
batteries must be removed from the Club immediately after replacement
and not left on the ground in front of the waste oil storage. If you
replace an appliance, it is up to the member to remove the old one from
the premises. This applies to propane bottles and gas cans as well.
DOE was very upset with what was there and will be sending a written
report of the infractions found. This will be cleaned up immediately
at some expense to the Club but we need your help in keeping it that
way. We do not need to be in violation of any state or federal
regulation because of a few members’ carelessness! I hope this does
not need to be addressed again.
Many thanks to P/C Wheeler and Jytte for another great
Oktoberfest!
It
just keeps getting better and better. Remember to support the Club at
the upcoming Junior Officers’ Ball honoring our J.O.’s with those of
the other Grand XIV Yacht Clubs. P/C Miller and V/C Hardgrove have
planned a spectacular and fun filled event which will be long
remembered!
