3. Rear Commodore's Report

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and we wish you a sunny, warm, delightful, prosperous New Year.

Grounds: We discovered the west parking lot back-flow preventer housing to be rotted and has been replaced with a new insulated box. All completed in time for the cold weather thanks to our work crew, Captains Jim Damery, Orrin Phillips, Gary Fisker and P/C Jeff Ewell. Stellar efforts sirs!

Security: No issues at this time.

Membership: We are really looking forward to featuring our great yacht club to potential members during the upcoming Seattle Boat Show, January 27-February 5, 2012. Please come join us! Captain Chris Benson will have a QCYC membership booth at the CenturyLink Exhibition Center; let’s invite interested boaters to consider the QCYC advantage. Sign up to volunteer!

Great dialogue and discussion continue regarding ways to increase our membership choices to attract and recruit as well as broaden and retain our club baseline. Will keep you posted on the outcome.

QCYC, you’re the best! On November 22 Laurean and I had a fire in our kitchen. We lost the kitchen, the ceiling in the family room, the sewing room and our clothes closet on the 2nd floor. Our clothes, furniture, rugs, and TVs have been taken for restoration. All food and most of our personal belongings have been damaged. The fix will take 3 months. We thank God no one was injured. We are so grateful to the many members who have shown us kindness.
