COMMODORE’S COMMENTS for JANUARY

JIYC AUXILIARY

The end of 2017 brought smiles, sweets, and Santa! The children’s tree trimming was a hit. Glue, glitter, pizza, and sugar were the stars enjoyed by our young artists creating family keepsakes. Toys for Tots got over a sled full of toys and bikes to brighten Christmas morning thanks to the attendees of the Commodore’s Drop In. All hanging around the deck when Santa arrived were almost run over by the charging swarm of children eager to get their visits in with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. All great times at the Club enjoyed by friends and families. 2018 started with a frigid Polar Plunge to get our blood flowing for the new year. In the coming year, we will continue to bring fun events for all. Look for family days, special events, and casual get togethers. In this time of reflection, remember to treasure time; don’t let time drive you. Savor the moments with your friends and family, enjoy these special occasions, and hope to bring a smile to all around you. Happy New Year! Jeanne Snell - Auxiliary President jeannesnell@comcast.net

BOARD MEETING

January 22nd

We've come to yet another end of the calendar year at James Island Yacht Club. I hope everyone had a great time celebrating Christmas and Hanukkah with family and friends. 2018 promises to be an exciting and eventful year at the club and we'll kick it off on New Year’s Eve and New Year's Day. Bring an appetizer to share and enjoy champagne at midnight on New Year’s Eve. The next morning let's brace for the chill of Charleston Harbor at the Polar Bear Swim. There will be Bloody Mary's in the morning as a warm up and the kitchen crew will have hop n john and collard greens around noon. I know everyone is ready for the dock construction to begin and I bring great news from the Dock Committee. They met with the engineers and finalized the design to send out for bids in January. The bid climate is good, and we expect decent competition among several marine contractors. I'll provide the basic details of the design package at the January General Meeting. When the bids are received in late January we'll have some financial decisions to make so there will be a series of meetings for open discussion and eventual vote on an assessment if necessary. The dates I am about to provide are tentative and Ron will send out formal notifications as necessary. First, we plan to post the plans for bid the first week of January. The prospective bidders will be invited to a site visit the second week of January and may ask any questions within a week. As stated earlier, the bids should be in our hands by the end of January. I intend to call a Special Board Meeting for February 7th to discuss the results of the bids and our options to take forward to the membership. We will hold our normal February General Meeting on February 12th and plan to schedule a member Dock Q&A session for later that same week. That will lead up to a Special Dock Meeting to be called for Late February, where we will present the final options, possible assessments, and call for a vote on the new dock. Confused? It will all become “more clear” in the month to come. For now, just relax, enjoy the New Year, and let Ron keep us all straight on the important meetings to attend. Speaking of Ron...Go Tigers! See you at the club! Glenn Easterby, Commodore
