News From The Commodore

At a Special Meeting of the Board held Saturday, October 4th, a motion was passed that temporarily suspends until further notice the collection of the Capital Projects Assessment.  Also, as you would expect, there will be no billings for wet-slip rental nor dry-storage/storage lockers.  At least temporarily, dues will continue to be billed as normal while we are negotiating with the insurance carriers regarding our business interruption claims.
 
The Clubhouse will reopen for business on Friday, October 10th at 5:30 P.M. with a grand Post-Ike Happy Hour.  All sorts of surprises are planned for the evening so don't miss it.  Food service also resumes at that same time although for a few days buffet only service will be provided as we work to get our operations back to normal.
 
The Officers and Trustees of the Club sincerely appreciate the attitude and responsiveness of the members as we work through the issues wrought by Hurricane Ike.  I am particularly proud of the efforts of the Mosquito Fleet who, on consecutive weekends, organized and provided for the Shrimp Boil (attended by nearly 300) and the "Wienerville" Happy Hour attended by approximately 150.  The "Skeeters" are a wonderful group and Carol and I are proud to be part of them! 
 
See ya' at the Bay!
 
John Nicholson, Commodore
