From the Commodore

Members:

I would like to express my appreciation for electing me as Commodore for the ensuing year. I consider it an honor. I will strive to the best of my ability to produce results that will be for the betterment of Biloxi Yacht Club.

The main goals of my year are to continue the work underway to improve club facilities. My next aim is to promote increased club activity. The achievement of these two goals is a basis from which to build a better club.

The progress of any club is dependent upon the togetherness of all members. The final progress report, favorable or unfavorable, depends upon the efforts of all members. I intend to do my share. Will you do yours?

I would like to solicit the help of all dì members of the Biloxi
Yacht Club to help make the year 2005 a banner year.
On behalf of myself and the other officers, I wish to express our gratitude for being selected to head Biloxi Yacht Club for the year of 2005. We will work.

Finally, members, I wish to thank those responsible for the
honor bestowed upon me, Commodore of Biloxi Yacht Club.

Sincerely Yours,

Jerry J. Ellis,
Commodore

Christmas Open House

Thanks to the Grounds Committee for the beautiful Poinsettias which adorn the tables. Also, JJ, Jackie, and the Grounds Committee for door prizes.

The Woman’s Auxiliary would like to thank the women of the club for bringing items for the bake sale.

Ladies Auxiliary

At the December meeting plans for the BYC Christmas Open House were finalized.

Votes were taken and passed on the following:
1. Support of the GYA Winter meeting on Jan. 8-9 at LaFont Inn, Jude is coordinating BYC volunteers and should be contacted by those willing to help. Two hour shifts: Saturday 8-12, 12-4, 4-7. Sunday 8-11, 11-1.

2. Scheduled meetings of Auxiliary for January and February are cancelled, informal groups may still come and visit together on the 2nd Thursday for lunch. Support of GYA meeting and Mardi Gras events replaces meetings.

3. March meeting of Auxiliary to be held on Thursday the
10th at noon. Officers Jackie Hand, President and JJ Gagne, Treasurer re-elected to continue serving until reorganization. Club needs Auxiliary support for events and for fund- raising. Get enthusiastic ladies, and come with new ideas, new officers. Lets move it for 2005!

— Jackie Hand, President

NOTICE

Starting January 1, 2005, all bills will be mailed out on the 1st of the month and will be due on the 20th of that month, instead of the 28th.

The Green Column

It’s been a busy year and a productive one for us. The Grounds Committee would like to thank everyone again for their contributions of time, money, and materials throughout the year.

The last serious work day for the year on the grounds has come and gone. We finished the year in December by putting in some sego palms and six more camellias. We’ve tried to tidy things and prepare for colder weather. So, until I see some green things peeping out, I am officially in hibernation.
