At the June Executive Committee Meeting, CAPT Don Sherwood announced the
names of a large number of members who failed to complete their 16 hour
work party requirement for the past year. This is not only expensive for
the member at $40 per work party hour, but it means that required
maintenance and repair projects were not completed or other members had to
pick up the slack. One of the things that makes this Club so great is the
ability and skills of our members to do the work ourselves and not hire it
out like other yacht clubs in the area. Just compare our facilities with
any other club and you can see why they envy us because of our moorage,
railway, shop, and fuel dock. At the last General Meeting the membership
voted to again require 16 hours of work party time to complete the planned
projects for the coming year. I have found that Work Parties are a good
time to meet the new members, learn new skills, and have a great
time. Like CAPT Jack Hensley says about Log Racing, a Work Party can also
be a social event!
CAPT Dave and Jan Cordodor have again done a splendid job planting the
flower beds and hanging baskets around the Club. Their special touch adds
greatly to the appearance of the club grounds and we appreciate their
efforts.
Penny and I hope to see you during the QCYC Big Brother Cruise -
In.
