Wait for It

The heat continues although we are soon to enter the fall months. We anticipate a large crowd for the Green Island Race on Sept.5th weekend. A large group will also participate in the now annual dingy and small boat run up river to the Bringmans’ home. Hate to say these are normally the last big events of summer, but sometimes the winds turn chilly and outside activities begin to drop off. We have plenty of firewood on the East beach for some nice cookouts on those cool evenings, so let’s get out there people.

Greg promises great weather and good accommodations. Be sure and sign up. The annual Snow Flurries Race follows Sept. closely the first weekend of October, so plan accordingly. As you are aware, chicken bar-b-ques always on those race weekends along with breakfasts and a lunch for Snow Flurries. Be sure to attend and participate any or all of these events.

Fall signals the beginning of nominations for the board and flag. We are a great volunteer organization with plenty of areas for your experience. Please step forward and notify our nomination committee; PCs’ Reichman, Nitz, and Young if you wish to be included in the upcoming slate. Standing committees have to be filled as well, so there are plenty of spaces. The new slate will be announced at the October 7th membership meeting.

You will notice a new electronic sign board in the bar. Caretaker/dock- master Eric has been working on this project for a month or two and it has now made its debut. Lots of animation and great graphics and photos can now be included. Committee chairs you have a great tool for announcing your events. Get with Eric to plan your ads. We are examining placing a large TV over the bar in the ballroom. This would allow power point presentations for weddings, meetings, and other rentals as well as provide another outlet for viewing those big OSU games during the season.

Hope you all enjoyed the frantic summer months. We have to jam a lot of fun in to those 13 weeks and most of us did our best. Not to disappoint all of you aware of my past swimming experiences, I did go in again. I cannot promise that it will never happen again but I will try harder in the future. Lots of fun and I enjoy the razzing.
Come across the drawbridge and enjoy. See you around the club.
