Our new clubhouse location at Liberty Harbor Marina has been a great success! Members are coming to visit more, hanging out longer, playing cornhole, sipping beers and BBQing with their crew after sailing. The social aspects of our Club are reaching new heights. All of this has been achieved within 12 months.
There is one more improvement which will make our clubhouse even greater – a traditional gaff-rigged flagpole which will proudly fly the MYC burgee over our fleet and activities (see sample pole at right, not with the MYC burgee!).
Thanks to Carlos Tessi who did the research, floated balloons with string and determined that a 35 ft pole would make all Members proud. He also found a supplier who understands our nautical traditional so we are ready to go. The cost of the flagpole and installation is expected to be in the $4,000 range.
We are starting the fundraising campaign for the Club’s Flagpole today! Members are invited and encouraged to make a $100 or greater contribution to raising the Flagpole. If we can raise enough support, the Flagpole will be ordered and installed this fall. All Members who contribute to this great project will be recognized on a plaque inside the new Clubhouse or outside at the Flagpole.
