BYC Latest:
3/4/10: Compass Rose
This month's edition of the Compass Rose is in the mail. Be sure to check out the "On the BYC Grid". We have lots of exciting activities coming up in the next 2 months. Please let Kim Struthers know if you would like to receive your edition via email rather than snail mail.
3/3/10: Latest and Greatest...
Welcome to our newest members, David and Dianne Greene! Be sure to give them a warm, BYC welcome as you see them on the water in Seascape.
Our first membership drive of the season will be Saturday, April 24th - the weekend BEFORE Opening Day - from 11:30am - 2:00pm at the Newport Yacht Basin dinghy dock. Bring everyone you know who is a potential new member to the "Hot Dogs on the Dock" party!
Our follow up, club-wide business meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 7th, 6:00pm at the NPYB dinghy dock. We will be voting on one item and presenting revised budget numbers. This coincides with our regular monthly Bridge meeting.
So here is an updated flyer you can hand out to potential new members. As you will read about in this month's edition of the Compass Rose, our "Aft" Commodore has come up with some wonderful incentives to join our club sooner rather than later. It is a double sided document. On the back are the 2010 cruising and dock party calendars.
Come Cruise With Us
2/26/10: Did you hear?
The Waddens and Simmons did a FANTASTIC job hosting the cruise to Poulsbo! They created a romantic, cozy restaurant in the clubhouse and personally served each one of us. In typical BYC style, we had an interesting round of "The Matey Game". You just never know who you'll pick as your First Mate.
Don't worry if you missed the fun. Our next cruise is to Gig Harbor in March. The Hess' and Edwards' have a great time planned. Hopefully we'll get to see you!
2/14/10: Happy Valentine's Day Everyone
I hope you are all having a wonderful day.
2/11/10: Board Meeting
The officers held their monthly meeting last night. Steve has some wonderful ideas on membership recruiting. Please say "yes" when he asks for your help! He's also open to other ideas.
The Compass Rose was put into the mail yesterday. You should receive it in the next few days. Look for some new features starting with the March issue.
We still need hosts for the Dock Parties and some of the cruises. This is a great way to be a part of your club and get to know everyone. If you're new to hosting, don't worry! Feel free to ask any of the "seasoned" hosts for guidance or to co-host with you.
Our next cruise is in 2 weeks at Poulsbo. The Simmons and Waddens have a fantastic weekend planned and we have 14 boats registered. That's fantastic!
Don't forget that we have a great outstation in Kingston. Please be sure to sign the book when you're there. That way we can record how much of an asset it is to the club. If you don't know the code, or how to use the outstation, contact one of your officers. This information will also be printed in future issues of the Compass Rose.
