Commodore’s Corner
Greetings to all South Norwalk Boat Club Captains. Well unfortunately the time has come. The lot is full and the marina is now officially closed for the season. Thankfully the weather has been mild so far which helps to take the sting out a little. With the small lift being down for repairs, all boats needed to be taken out with the travel lift which added some time to the project. As always, our volunteers stepped up and did an outstanding job. The support we get from the membership whenever there is a project to be done is just incredible and I cannot thank everyone enough. It is one of the things that truly makes the South Norwalk Boat Club the best around.
We have many great events planned to help make the transition to winter a little easier. The first one is our annual Roll Call Dinner on November 11th in honor of our Life Members. This year we are also pleased to add Rear Commodore William Bodie, Financial Secretary Diane Smilancsky and Caption John Vuoso to those ranks. Just like all our current Life Members, these three Captains have given countless hours of their time to make the Club a better place for the enjoyment of all our members. Congratulations to you all and be sure to get your tickets for a great night.
Our next event will be Comedy Night on November 14th. In recent years, Comedy Night has become a favorite of many with loads of laughs. It doesn’t get much better than seeing a professional comedy show at our Club. November 17th will be our second Pasta Night. Our first one of the year was just as successful as always with great food and a sold-out crowd. There is no better deal around, and no one ever leaves hungry. In October we held our first Trivia Night of the year, which was also enjoyed by all. Just another fun event to bring people down to the Club. With Thanksgiving coming up, we will not be hosting a Trivia Night in November so make sure to put December 10th at 7:00 PM on your calendars to join us for the next one.
Looking ahead, we will be having our annual Kids Christmas Party on December 6th at 11:30 AM. It is such a fun day for our next generation of Captains. If you are interested in attending, make sure to have your forms filled out and dropped off by November 29th. We will also be holding our Adult Christmas Party on the night of December 6th beginning at 4:00 PM. No better way to kick off the holiday season than with your Club friends for a night of fun. On Monday December 7th, we will be holding our elections. We have a great slate of candidates to choose from to help guide the Club for the upcoming year. The South Norwalk Boat Club belongs to all of us so make sure to come out and let your voice be heard.
With all the events we currently have scheduled, and the ones that are being planned, this winter will be just as full as the summer. Make sure to be on the lookout for what is coming next. I also want to remind everyone that the last day to spend your minimum is November 28th. So, if you still have money on your card, make sure to come down and enjoy yourself. I wish everyone the very best as we begin the holiday season and I will see you around the Club.
Best Regards to Everyone,
Commodore Jonathan Bove
