ALYC members,<br />
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and<br />
enjoyable Holiday Season. I wish you<br />
all a Happy, Healthy and Successful<br />
New Year!<br />
The new yacht club board hopes you<br />
all come out <strong>this</strong> year, either at a board<br />
meeting or general meeting, to say hi<br />
and give us your input on what you<br />
think could make a better club for us<br />
all. As a member of ALYC, you gain many benefits. You are eligible for<br />
reciprocal privileges at yacht clubs around the world. You can sail on<br />
the club’s boats in the harbor. You can participate in the club’s many<br />
quality events and activities. Please feel free to contact me or any of<br />
our Board Members.<br />
We will kick off the year on Saturday, January 21, with the Commodore’s<br />
Ball featuring the Z Bops for a little 50’s fun. This popular event<br />
fills up quickly, so make your reservations early.<br />
The Commodore’s Ball will be followed by many quality events throughout<br />
the year, such as: Opening Day Celebration, Youth Sailing Program,<br />
<strong>Harbor</strong> and Ocean Races, July 4th Old Glory Boat Parade, Electric Boat<br />
Rally, and Sail for the Visually Impaired. Check our website for dates.<br />
We are working hard to improve our General Membership Meetings<br />
(GMMs). These meetings will be friendly, informal and interesting. Potlucks<br />
will follow these programs and will be hosted by our indispensable<br />
Seagals who support many of our activities throughout the year.<br />
This year GMMs will be held at 6:00 pm on the first Thursday of each<br />
even numbered month in the <strong>American</strong> <strong>Legion</strong> Yacht Club “HUT.” This<br />
includes the months of February, April, June, August, October and<br />
December.<br />
I appreciate the opportunity to be your 2012 Commodore. Let’s make<br />
<strong>this</strong> an active and successful yachting year!<br />
