Message from Commodore Stephanie Gaff

January has been pretty quiet, with nothing really going on. The weather hasn't been too bad, but here we are preparing for our first winter storm of the season. 

Lover's weekend is in just a couple of weeks which just so happens to be a big weekend for Red Eye. That Friday is our General Membership Meeting. Sunday is the Stockholder's Meeting, Slip Assignment Day, and Member Appreciation Dinner.

Stockholder's Meeting is at 1pm. Slip Assignment will take place at 3pm and the Member's Appreciation Dinner will take place immediately following Slip Assignment.

Its been a very quiet Ball season, but February brings Balls once again on Saturday nights. Some have modified their times to reflect closing by 10pm.

I know our members have been socializing down the Club on Friday and Saturday nights. I'm glad to see the camaraderie. I cannot wait until things start warming up and and we are once again out on the Bay.
 
Message from Vice Com  Wayne Orem
Just a friendly reminder that anyone whom is storing personal items in any of the out buildings at the club the time has expired to remove them and the club will deal with accordingly. no cleanout project is currently scheduled but that could change at anytime. Please take this opportunity to remove any personal items you wish to keep. 
COVID COVID COVID. Please wear a mask while in the club for the safety of others and the good of the club. We are coming down the home stretch and I wish to see everyone healthy at the other end.
Let's all work together to make 2021 a great year at the REYC
Best regards.
