Commodore's Corner

At the time of publishing this edition, I hope we can say that spring has finally arrived. Boats are being launched, and our Harbor is open. It's a great time of year when we enjoy the full utilization of our club. Our planned activities and events are quickly filling up as we work hard to ensure everyone is delighted with their experience at the club this summer.

Our membership applications are starting to tick upward as people think about their summer plans. Please get in touch with our Membership Director if you have any family or friends showing interest in joining. Feel free to invite them to our Launch Party on May 12th. Our Member Activities Committee has been working hard on what is sure to be a fun and entertaining night!

As we have covered in previous issues, the MDR and Spinnaker noise levels were identified as dissatisfied in the Fall survey. In response, the club has taken several initiatives, including placing both permanent and temporary panels in the main dining room and commissioning a comprehensive sound analysis by outside experts. While several members have noted some improvement in MDR noise levels, we know we have more to do and will continue to explore permanent solutions. In the meantime, we hope to have two dining venues available (based on anticipated demand) to help manage utilization and noise levels.

Our Pool repairs are nearing completion and will be finished ahead of schedule. The makeover will not only fix some major integrity issues that need attention but also keep our pool looking beautiful for many years to come.

We have kicked off a large roof repair/replacement project that will shore up a vulnerable area of our roof that often resulted in leaks in our kitchen area. These infrastructure repairs are often not noticed by members but are part of the everneeded facility repairs to maintain our assets.

Our plans and budgets for the upcoming year are solidly on track and being constantly monitored. Soon we will enjoy the Harbor, Outdoor Gazebo Dining, and our Summer Events. I look forward to this every year, especially having fun with our Membership as Commodore.

Best! Brian Fish Com90
