2. Vice Commodore's Report

Two of the events that consume large quantities of volunteer hours are done for another year, and we can be proud of what we have accomplished.  The “Pride of Queen City” saw over 110 members and guests turn out to clean, paint, weed, sweep or pound nails in the clubhouse, grounds or docks.  By springtime, there are many projects that need tending, and in keeping with the tradition of members taking responsibility for the maintenance of our facilities, it seemed we all had a wonderful time voluntering.  Being responsible for house and docks, I was grateful of all that was accomplished in those areas. We should thank  Dick Geving, Jim Damery, Linda Roehl, and our docks group, Randy Garvie, Art Mauldin and Dave Svendsen for organizing the work party.

The second event was Opening Day.  Wow, Queen City Yacht Club put forth an incredible effort to entertain our members but also in hosting our fellow Grand 14 clubs. It was an all volunteer effort that served over 1200 meals! All this was made possible by our Opening Day Chair,  P/C Dave Krows and his wife Margaret.  He and his minions worked their tails off for six days starting with the preparation of the docks for all the visiting vessels, and ending on Sunday with the Tarettes’  breakfast.  Many of the event chairs and committee members were worked to their limit, and I know many were worn out by the experience.  I would like to thank each and everyone who volunteered.  You made your club proud.

June is the month many of us pay our vessel registrations.  If you are a mooring member, please submit a legible copy to Jonelle in the office.  This, along with you Certificate of Insurance must be submitted annually according to our rules.  Finally, as we move into the best time of year for boaters, I hope to see you out and about.  Have a great summer boating!
