For those of you who have not seen me walking the halls of our Grand “New” Lady please let me introduce myself. My name is Scott Gutauckis. I am your Rear Commodore for 2008 and your chairman for the Docks Committee.
I am only one of a team full of hard working members who are committed to the success of the Halifax River Yacht Club and our success begins with its members. With that said please feel free to call or email me should you have any concerns or ideas.
Prior to this year I spent a lot of time attending virtually every meeting, absorbing the accolades and the concerns of our members. I take each concern to heart and where possible and appropriate I hope the Docks Committee can address them and possibly resolve some of the more pressing issues.
One of the things I wanted to do this year was to make sure that our committee was not “stacked” with members who were already on another committee or part of the Board of Directors. My intention was to bring in fresh new ideas while focusing on the talents of years past. As a result I can say that I have three Past Commodores to fill the role of previous talent and a few members who are new to the committees who should shed some light on alternative ideas. I also have a commitment from last year’s volunteers to continue with their help in finishing up the docks. For a complete list of who the Docks Committee is comprised of this year please visit the Member area of the club’s website, www.hryc.com. Remember too that while you may not be on the committee you are welcome to attend.
What follows is a summary of upcoming projects for HRYC this year. If you are looking to volunteer your talents in any of these areas please feel free to call me.
Some known upcoming projects for 2008:
Parking Lot
As part of agreement with the City of
North Dock
The North dock remains for us to complete this year. It is in total disrepair and will require a number of people to complete.
Electrical renovation all docks
The North and South docks need to have electrical work performed on them. The current electrical infrastructure is in a terrible state and will require some extensive renovations.
