Well it's finally that time of year again boats are being uncovered and bottoms prepped for paint. Much work has been done
to the docks in the off season and the are set to go in this Sunday, April 23rd. This is always an exciting day as it signals
the unofficial start of the boating season. Let's make this another great year of growth for the club. Rick R. |

It's almost time to start prepping boats for the new season. Work on the docks has gone well but more needs to be done to
have them ready for docks in day. Stan will be sending out emails to let us know when work will resume. Let's put in a big
effort to have them ready. Rick Robillard |

The first trip to Wickford Marina for the air show, was a hit. only two boats were able to attend but many members drove up
to join them. The Marina was very accommodating, the grounds were nice and clean and the people were friendly. The view of
the show was great, without having to fight the crowds on the road or the water. Hopefully next year we will return and bring
more boats and day visitors. Rick and Jean. |

The 2015 Memorial Day Cookout at the Club was a good turn out. I would like to thank all those that made side dishes and deserts,
help prepare, cook and serve the meal along side me. it seemed everyone ate well and had a good time. The weather was great
a little windy but the grills stayed burning. It was nice to see the new pilings all in place knowing that we don't have to
worry about what's holding the boats in place. In a few days we will get together and get the water and the electrical hooked
up then get the word out to bring the boats in. It's certainly nice to have a good group of people willing to help each other
out.
I would like to thank all of you who gave up your Morial Day Monday and came down to work on the docks helping Al Kozatek
and those that help me along with the Commodore I was able to get most of the damage under the Club done from this winter
and clean out some trash that has accumulated there as well.
Thank you all

I have to say that this has been a fantastic summer at the club. Everyone participating in the activities from impromptu dinners
to the planned activities, it's great to see involvement from many people. Bob Bedard did a great job as usual with the chicken
BBQ, Brian did a great job setting up the Brewers trip. the activities planning by Sue and all the others involved led to
a fun experience had by all. Brewers is always a high point for the members and friends who attend. Jean and I can't wait
for the rest of the years activities.

August 21 - Great summer with lots of positive energy at the club with many recent events. Saturday's dingy run was a blast
with 7 boats leaving the TYC for the trip and many others meeting us at the Inn for lunch. Wet and fun ride back riding the
waves that just seem to pick up once we hit the water. Sunday's breakfast by the Fundraising Committee was busy and enjoyed
by many. This coming weekend the Social Committee has a Chicken BBQ and next weekend we will all end the month of August
with a long weekend at Brewers in Portsmouth, RI. ~ Sue&Howard |

Wow ...2014 is going to be a GREAT year at the TYC! It's only mid-March and we have all the Committees working together to
plan the full year's calendar. The calendar for 2014 will show all the social events, fundraisers and trips on one page so
members can plan on attending those that interest them. On another note, everyone is already working hard to make April 12
"Docks In Day" a big success with plans underway to not only get the docks and moorings in, but to also do front yard landscaping
and painting of the front sheds. Most members (well not the old timers) can't even remember the last time the front sheds
were painted. Add in some donated landscaping shrubs and plans for a Spring vinyl siding of the front of the building! The
club will look great for this summer! |

I would like to say that the Turkey Raffle was a great time very well attended by the local neighbors and Members. I thought
I had won a turkey on one spin turns out I pulled an old ticket out of my pocket boy you might have thought I was cheating
but I was only testing the waters as they say. In all it was a great time good job to all that worked on it. On another note
We decorated the club house this past Sunday afternoon (Dec 1) and we had a good turn out of Members that came to help everyone
put their own touches in decorating, some watched a little football, and others cleaned or chatted a little it was a great
day. The hall looks great. Some of us 12 total went out to dinner that evening at the Comfort Zone, located in Somerset after
and had a great meal at a very reasonable price. Stop by the Club and take a look or better yet Come to the Breakfast Dec
8 and or the Christmas Party Dec 13 Yankee Swap, pot luck supper. Thanks again to all those that continue to help make the
Club a great place to go to. Have a great Holiday Sincerely Bob Bedard Social Committee Chairperson |

To all those members and some of their friends that work very hard last winter 2011-2012 to raise the floor and improvements
made in the bar area. I received a lots of compliments from members of my family at our annual Christmas party. I never thought
that I would like it but to hear family members compliment on it kind of changed my outlook. Great Job to all. Bob Bedard

Just wanted to send a thank you to all who participated in the Dock out day! There was work done prior as well so some missing
faces that are usually there may have already contributed!
Also a special thanks to Donna and Mary who went to the club on the day of the storm to put everything humanly possible on
tables in case the water rose high enough to damage the club.

I am glad to see that John F. Kennedy is still alive, since he signed the TYC Guestbook.
It is ONLY a joke, don't jump all over me for it.
Just wanted to comment on what a great weekend we all had at Brewer's Marina on the Sakonnet. It was a lot of fun. Hopefully
more people can join us for the next trip.

Vindictive passion is the intense feelings of resentment, anger, hatred, and the desire for revenge against those who wrong
us and are an integral part of human nature (Beaumont, 2005-2009). Although a reasonable reaction to our perceived injury
may be fitting, totally resigning yourself to these passions is an excuse to justify behavior that is outside the norm such
as cruelty and can at times become violent. Boycotting a Social Committee event only hurts the club and I do not take it personally.
I am reminded that vindictiveness may have the first word but never the last and smile quietly to myself.

I agreee with Maria-Clara.It is unfortunate that the barbecue has to be cancelled do to "lack of interest".
I have been to two other events this year.. and saw a very poor turnout at both ... The NESAR event was awful as you know
"if you went" I really think and hope more or something can be done to bring this club back to a association where family
and friends meet for gatherings and special times ...Rather that people joining for the convenience of fuel pump "access"
and fuel discounts. |

The club layout is essentially the same as it was before. If people feel that it looks like a bar, then they must have always
felt that way. For the first time in a very long time, the club looks nice. I would be proud to bring my children there.

Overall, the work at the club is an improvement and I may disagree with how things were done but at least I make sure that
everyone hears what I have to say, let us say that I make use of my freedom of speech. At the TYC General Membership meetings
is where comments need to be made so that the bridge and directors can hear the voice of the membership. Not all of the members
have a vote but all of the members DO have a voice. Maria |

while this site allows people to leave comments and opinions about functions and the clubhouse it should will not be used
for personal comments. As for the bar atmosphere I disagree as people make the atmosphere not the structure. I personally
love the improvements.
