“for the good of the club”

|
|
LET'S ALL GIVE MARY A BIG ROUND OF THANKS FOR THREE YEARS AS AUXILIARY PRESIDENT 2020 - 2022! 🙏 🙏 🙏
|
|
|
|
The Auxiliary had their annual luncheon and installation of new officers on November 19th. The food was delicious, the wine was wonderful and the company was even better. Our Master of Ceremonies was Barbara Solve and she provided details of the history of our Auxiliary that was new information to many of our attendees. Betsy Burns made a tribute to our Marcy Hanley and we passed around a plaque the Auxiliary made in Marcy’s memory. It will have a special place in the bar area of the club. (See Photo Gallery).
|
We had two Lifetime Memberships to present this year. Emily Boyles and Berneice Moore have spent many hours of their time volunteering for the Auxiliary and this was a small gesture to let them know how much we appreciated their time and dedication to our club.
|
I’d like to introduce to you our new Auxiliary board for 2023:
|
- President: Ernie Bergman
- Vice-President: Betsy Burns
- Secretary: Kathy Collins
- Treasurer: Ellen Vick
Thank you for all of your support over the past three years and I’m sure the 2023 board will be very successful and an asset to the Auxiliary!
|
|
|
|
The Auxiliary is open to all members and their significant others. Traditionally the Auxiliary leans towards family related activities. We organize Christmas parties, theme dinners (i.e., Italian nights, Cook Your Own Steak nights, Karaoke evenings) and many other fun-filled events. The goal is always to provide enjoyment and opportunities for fund raising.
|
|
Dues are only $20/year and are payable to SRYCA. Just place your application and dues in the office mail slot.

ERNIE'S IDIOMS
|
“Read the riot act”
|
|
|
Origin: This idiom most likely comes from the real Riot Act, an act passed by the British government in 1714 to prevent unruly assemblies. In the 18th century King George I and the government were fearful of being overthrown by supporters of the previous Stuart dynasty. If crowds of more than 12 assembled, authorities could read them a portion of the Riot Act, upon which they must leave or be imprisoned. Thus, if someone is behaving in a manner that we find inappropriate, we “read them the riot act,” intending to get the unruly person to stop what they’re doing.

DREDGE REPORT
|
|
David Sullivan & John Moore
|
|
|
The US Army Corps of Engineering has contracted with Dutra to dredge the channel coming in from Marker 17 and dredge the creek up to the bridge. After that the city has arranged for Dutra to dredge up to City owned docks and those properties that participated in the dredging work group at this time. The dredging called for a 100 foot wide channel, 8 feet deep at MLL tide and then a 60 wide excavation 6 feet deep for the creek.
|
|
It has been slow going and judging from the work completion to date, they are way behind. John Moore and others have made
|
|
observations claiming that the "Beaver" rig (shown in the photo) that was working the outer channel was pulled off to work on the Corte Madera channel. In addition, they have only one scowl to receive dredging spoils that must make a dump run and back.
|
The main outer channel is done and they are at the start of the San Rafael canal with a smaller dredging rig. As of 12:48 pm, November 30, the dredging barge was just past the channel range between Seaway Canal and MYC entrance.
|
|
An extension request was made to extend the dredging beyond December 1st. The City expects it to be approved soon as all agencies, pending Fish & Game, have approved the extension.

Orders come in limited quantities and in most cases items are days not weeks away from arriving.
