Happy New Year! It’s going to be an exciting year.

Congratulations to all of the partici-pants in the Lighted Boat Parade and especially to “Most Lights” winners, Avi & Wendy Strugo, “Best Theme” winners, Kurt & Do-minique Stahr and “This Boat Needs An Award”, winners Bob & Joy Magoon. The Napa community looks forward to this colorful spec-tacle each year during the Christmas season.

We’re off to the first cruise of 2008 to celebrate the New Year in San Francisco. South Beach here we come, some with boats, others without. It should be a grand time. The cruise calendar is looking good. Fleet Captain Brown has a Coast Guard Inspection at our club on Feb. 2 and maybe a Valentine’s Day Cruise. March 14-16 is St. Paddy’s Day Cruise to Loch Lomond. And of course there is Opening Day on the Bay, April 24-27. Check online for all of the cruises and sign-up EARLY and OFTEN.

All the Staff chairs are filled. I want to give my personal thanks to the hard working dedicated volun-teers who make Napa Valley Yacht Club the great organization that it is. FLEET CAPTAIN----Scott Brown WEB SITE----Mike Noonan NEWSLETTER & ADVERTISING -- Sally Servidio & Philip Craig MERCHANDISE MGR. --------------Angela & Art Lewis MEMBERSHIP CHAIR---------------------------------Evelyn Silveri BUILDING & GROUNDS------------------------------Tom Nunan PUBLIC RELATIONS------------------------------------ Lynn Pritchett SAFETY OFFICER----Ken Graham I am looking forward to working with all of the Staff chairs and com-mittees in the coming year. Please don’t hesitate to share any and all of your good ideas. Larry Wolfe, Rear Commodore

Clay Parker

Vice Commodore

With this comes a sincere wish of a Happy New Year to each of you! I begin this year as Vice Commodore by thank-ing those dedicated volunteer members managing the com-mittees of this office:

Bill Newton, Port Captain Don Buresh & Sharon Phillips as Bar Captains Nancy Weeks, Galley Captain Linda Sharp, O.D. Coordinator Mary Parker, Social Chair Club Supply Committee to be named 2008 can be a wonderful year for you and our club with

many events in planning by your officers and committees. Super Bowl and Chili Cook-off on February 3rd with a foot-

ball pool. Valentine’s Party; Blessing of the Fleet Cinco de Mayo, with Bocce Ball Tournament; 4th of July;

Cruise Ins by other clubs; Cruise Outs by your Fleet Captain and Rear Commodore; Labor Day Party; R/C Sailboat Races; Oktoberfest; Halloween Party; Lighted Boat Parade; Annual Senior Project

As we go forward in the year there will be many opportuni-ties for each of us to be involved in making our club a place to enjoy and be proud to attend with guests. Probably the first place to start is a reminder that each of us agreed, when we joined the club, to host or co-host a regular Friday Night din-ner event. We know there are some who can’t do that, but can arrange to trade with someone else or even have an out-side caterer participate as happened a couple times in 2007. Cooking per se is not a requirement and may not even be possible during the remodel of our kitchen later this year. What we do want is to see you taking part in club activities and sharing with your fellow members. So, I guess the mes-sage here is to get on the list of host/hostesses so Linda can know each Friday is covered. Friday Nights will be as good as we make them. Please take the initiative to let Linda know when you can cover the one Friday during the year we are obligated to host.

Dirk, Seeta and crew were a blessing at the bar last year and I can’t thank or acknowledge them enough for being there every event to contribute to the enjoyment of all our members and guests! This year will see some noticeable changes and we hope even more contribution as Don & Sharon take over the operation. Standby for those!

Last year’s committee of Bob & Joyce Craven along with Le Roy & Marcy Moore who volunteered to keep the club sup-plied with the goods needed by our members and guests have decided to “retire”. I am looking for one or two members to take over the job and will be calling for volunteers. We can’t let the club run out of certain supplies like bathroom stuff or there will be a revolt by especially our lady members….please say yes when contacted. Also note the club pays for all the sup-plies, so there is no out-of-pocket expense.

All the officers of your club want to make your membership as enjoyable as possible. To do that we need your input. So, do not be bashful in letting any of us know what we might do better or improve to keep you coming here and being a part of this wonderful club!

FROM THE FLAG BRIDGE December 2007

Happy New Year! The introduction of all the

new Officers and Staff Chairs at the Change of Watch verifies that we have an exciting year ahead with lots of good volun-teers. Thanks to Staff Commo-dore Sherrill Schager for the installation program and getting us all started in the right direc-tion. The other flags are listing lots of up coming events so mark your calendar and join in the fun.

A special thank you to Avi and all the Board and Officers that got so much done in 2007. It will be a high standard to follow but with the assembled group for 2008, I see us keep-ing the club rolling with plenty of opportunity for personal growth in boating and continu-ing fellowship with our mem-bers and the community.

Camaraderie on the Water is my focus for 2008. I enjoy the opportunities our club pro-vides in meeting new folks and working and playing together. I hope each of you will seek out new members and welcome them to our ranks. Now that the NVYC has reached its 20th year, we are experiencing about 10% turnover in members in a year. We miss those that move or drift off to new endeavors but it provides opportunity to greet new faces and learn new stories. Each of us was “new” at some point so it is important to share the history of our club and involve new members in our activities. Remember, a new person may not know what to expect whether it be a cruise or club activity so please clue them in. They will appreciate being included.

Thank you for the opportunity to by your commodore for 2008 and I value your support in the operation of NVYC.
