Commodore's Comments
Happy New Year everyone!
2004 is going to be a great year at the JIYC. We ended 2003
with one of the most successful social calendars in years. The New Year’s
party was terrific – a great dinner and lots of laughs afterwards. In the
last half of 2003 the Ladies Auxiliary and the House Committee lead off the
social charge with numerous events that kept the Club a very enjoyable place
to be. I know 2004 will be equally active and I hope all members take full
advantage of each social occasion.
The Club is entering the new calendar year in a reasonable financial
condition. There are some substantial costs coming up in the next few months
but your Board of Directors has plans in place to manage each situation.
I think that, as a Club, we are improving our ability to plan for the future.
We have a top notch Board of Directors.
Once again I have to comment on the strong spirit of volunteerism
at our Club. Over the Holidays I saw members working on numerous
projects – always with a smile and a good sense of fun. The Cooking
Committee was in the kitchen at 6:00AM for the Santa breakfast – the Ladies
Auxiliary has decorated the place on numerous occasions in the past month
(and it always looks great) – Keith Livermore and our Ladies Auxiliary managed
the New Years Party – Steve Ayling at House Committee is always the man in
the middle of the action – George Cook, Mike Spivey, David Hazeltine and
the Long Range Committee are working hard on some new idea – Grounds committee
never stops working – and I know I am not mentioning half of the volunteers
working over the last month. We are truly fortunate to be part
of such a wonderful group of people.
See you at the Club!

Ladies Auxiliary Comments:
A very Happy New Year to you, and your
loved ones. Our wish for you is that you continue to come and enjoy your
time at the club and take advantage of what we are planning for you. Many
thanks to all of you who helped make the club "bright " for the holidays.
To those who joined us for New Year's Eve we hoped you enjoyed the Glitz,
Glamour and Gambling. Bravo to the committee!
The auxiliary's donation to Families Helping Families allowed 2 James
Island families to have a better Christmas not to mention how much fun we
had shopping for them.
The New Year will bring many more entertaining events such as the
Chili Cook-Off, Wine Tasting with Jazz, Leather and Lace Night, Green Night,
Bunny Night, Mexican Night. We will also sign people up to do a "Walk for
Camp Bluebird " on Sullivan's Island as a JIYC team in March.
Our board is having so much fun planning that we do not lack from
encouragement but try us anyway. Give us your ideas and we love seeing you
down here so keep coming and we'll keep planning.
Please take advantage of our Web-site for the calendar and description
of upcoming events.
