Help Wanted!

We have an opening for Chair of the Property Department.  Property Department is responsible for the maintenance of the Clubhouse and the Sailing School building.  Working with the Club Manager and the House Committee, this position identifies areas of the clubhouse that require repairs or maintenance, develops budgets and recruits members to get the work done.  If you have any interest in taking on the position please contact me at vcmember@abyc.on.ca or talk to me at the club.

The House Committee has reconvened.  The members are Kent Parsons, Nancy Ogden, Chris Hannah, Linda DeRusha, Sandra Dockman and me.  We would welcome one or two more people.  House Committee's main focus is our Food and Beverage service.  One of our main concerns is Friday Fine Dining.  While we have a small and committed group that come to the club on Fridays, we wonder if we can attract more people.  If you have any ideas being it themes, menu selections, wine lists or entertainment or decor, please let myself or any of the House Committee members know.  

It's your club, use it.

ABYC 2014 Nominating Committee 

Work teams: will be an integral part of the overall plan.  Arriving for work party on a Saturday morning and asking what can I do would be good but hardly efficient.  The majority of workers must be part of a team that learns a job, practices a job and completes the job and has enough members that the team works more or less independently for tools, material, special equipment co-ordinanation and clean-up.  More on this later, but obviously a degree of sophistication that goes beyond past practices.

How long should a work party be? Given the enormity of this task I'm going to suggest that for the duration of this project we start at 8:30 am. and continue to 12:30 pm. as a minimum commitment to the task.  

If you have had past experience with wall repair with Stephen Trevitt and his teams, please be prepared to share your knowledge and experience by leading a task team that you are familiar with and/or training new members to be proficient.  We'll be in touch, soon.

Several times this summer on club cruises and other social events, members who previously worked on teams building docks or repairing other parts of our infrastructure have said to me, "you know, I learned a lot and it was fun".   So prepare yourselves for a fun Fall and Winter of "Team" camaraderie and work to get the first stage of this project completed before spring.

More details to follow in the coming weeks.

Roger Marsh

Chair: Wall Repair Committee

p.s. Wanted Immediately: Members who are familiar with technical drawing protocols and can use either Google Sketch or Autocad to produce working drawings for component parts required from sketch. (contact: penro@sympatico.ca)
