2020 Winter Commodore's Letter

Published on 1/23/2020
Happy New Year to you all-
As we begin a new decade we are having the type of winter that many of us remember from our younger years.  For those of you that enjoy the winter sports our area has to offer it is a good year.  For the rest of you as I write this spring is only 61 days away.  The Annual Minneapolis Boat show is taking place the last weekend of January and for me it is a strong reminder of the upcoming warm weather.

Again I thank you all for the generous support for our Light the Buoys campaign.  Because we met our goal, this coming spring the green and red navigation buoys on all of the channels into and out of Whitefish Lake and Crosslake will be lit.  In addition, we will have installed white buoy lights on nearly all of the slow/no wake buoys. Also with regard to our campaign, last fall I omitted part of the Gilroy and Virginia Arvig Family Foundation Fund name.  We thank them for their very generous donation to our campaign.

The transition to our online platform to manage new and renewing memberships, email communication and website is going well. Please remember to update your contact information, especially email address, with your dues payment or better yet directly on your profile in the system at WCYC.info.
