THANK YOU

Once again this year I was overwhelmed at the turnout and the tremendous amount of work which was accomplished during our Annual Cleanup Day.

Members and their families were out in great numbers , (I especially noted the number of young people who came and worked so hard .)

After a shaky start to the day the weather cooperated. A huge amount of work was accomplished by the various " teams" of gardeners, carpenters," the incredible masters", clean up crews and such. Our club looks great as a result of your hard work.

There were two groups of visitors to our club today, one from the Kingston Yacht Club and another from South Side Yacht Club in Chicago they were really impressed with the activity, participation and dedication of members, way to go team RNYC.

A big thanks to all the folk who brought their equipment and tools to help out for the day.

Thank you one and all for taking some time out of your busy lives to help out at what has become our annual cleanup day, and a day more than that , where we meet new people and interact and have a bit of fun and accomplish lots.

Well done to the "Bosses" Leo and Donna Marie.
