WELL, IT HAS TAKEN ME a while to get rolling on some projects, but hopefully things
will pick up in April. We did get the carpets professionally cleaned and will repeat that ev-
ery 6 months. A few volunteers (thanks Jennifer, Jan & Cece) took on the role of scullery
maids and hand scrubbed the tile in the bar and dining room – Thanks !
The request to allocate funds for the upgrade of the South Docks was
made at the March Board meeting. Assuming approval in April, we
will get the contractor started as soon as possible.
The electric service to the point has been repaired and tested so users
of the Gazebo & regatta campers can safely use the outlets.
Junior Room wall repairs are ongoing. After interior removal, it will
need time to dry out. I have received a couple of differing suggestions on how to then
rehab the interior. I will discuss with the users of the room on the most desirable way to
complete the task. Also, for the really young Juniors (ie. tots), a new toy box was pur-
chased to keep thing neat in the Castaway room.
The Landscape Committee will have had their second work session to rehab the planting
areas by the time this is published. Still (always) more to do – volunteers welcome.
Hurricane Briefing
Thursday, May 3, at 6 PM
in the Dining Room
Want to have a chance at
some real money?
All members who rent a wet slip
MUST ATTEND
this briefing or send your alternate. Members
who rent a slip in Dry Storage are encouraged
to attend. Insurance policies will be updated
in your files and hurricane evacuation plans
will be reviewed.
Join us at the club for
the Friday Night drawing.
Each week, a Member's
number is drawn and, IF
YOU ARE PRESENT, you get the dinero in
the form of a club credit. If you're not there,
then the amount is increased by $25 and
rolls over to the next Friday!!
Complacency will not keep a hurricane from
coming our way and neither will being well
prepared. How ever, being well prepared will
ensure that we have done all we can to pro-
tect our vessels and our Club property.
Some pots have grown to be hudreds of
dollars... and it coud be yours!!
