Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching and it reminds me of all things I am thankful for. I know you too are thankful for the many blessing you have. Eat lots of turkey and I will see you soon. Your Commodore, Hedy Codner VICE COMMODORE S CORNER The Land Cruise to Desert Hot Springs was a great event as usual. Jim & Joan come up with something new each year and this year was no exception. Thank you Jim & Joan for a job well done. Our events do not just happen, they are a result of dedicated effort by our members, some who do it year after year. With our small membership and so many great events all members need to do their share by being involved with the event planning and execution. If you have not been a Port Captain for a while this is the year you need to be involved even if it is only to help with an event. There are still a couple of land events that do not have a Port Captain. You do not need a boat to do a land event. It may sound harsh but if there are no Port Captains for a particular event it will be cancelled. If you are interested in doing your share please let me know. Jim Lium MYCLB Vice Commodore, 2014
