December may be the busiest and best non-boating month of the year. (It is starting to get a little “chilly”).  The club’s month is filled with activities that have something for everyone.  Special thanks to the Ladies Auxiliary for putting the club into the Christmas season with their tree trimming party. 
  The month of December starts with the Boat Parade, so head on down to the bar to watch the boats pass by the Charleston Battery.  There is the traditional holiday General meeting with a holiday meal fit for a king. On December 17th, there is the Commodore’s drop-in. It is a perfect time to wish all of your friends a happy holiday season and enjoy some great food.  Prior to the Drop – In, on Saturday the 14th, there is one of the most joyous days of the club with Breakfast with Santa.  Please bring your children to greet Santa for his return visit and enjoy a homemade breakfast.
  Of course, we will have the traditional New Years’ Eve Party and Bloody Mary’s &  Hop-in-Jon on New Years’ day.
  Special thanks to Steve Shapiro, Ron Maguire, Bosie Picquet, Bruce Hoffmann, Jay Stewart, and a few others for helping get our floating docks out for the winter season.  We’ll be working on them for the next few months to insure they are ready when the warm weather returns.
  Our finance committee has been busy over the last few months, and their recommendations have been brought to the Board of Directors.  Over the next few months the Board will be bringing new policies and recommendations to the General membership; therefore, look for information in upcoming Cygnets, and don’t forget to mark the days of our general meeting on your calendar.
 
                Hope to see you at the Club,

Happy Holidays!     Cathy Estep : President
