From the Commodore:
As 2009 comes crashing down on us, in the form of big white snowflakes, I am reminded that this year has been all about the weather. 2010 is just a glimpse on the horizon and with the speedy passage of time will be here before we know it. My involvement with the club has made this year a busy time for me. Thank you to all of the CYC volunteers, Committees and Board Members. It is thru your efforts that this club survives and flourishes year after year.
See you at the club!
Judy Gordon
Awards Night
My compliments to the chef! Our potlucks are fantastic. After dinner, flags and trophies were awarded. Congratulations to all. If you were not present, you can pick up your flag at the club. Skippers may also pick up participation awards.
Most Improved Skipper: Although this award is typically given to an individual, this year two skippers stood out and will share this trophy: Gina Lepman—Boat Name: Sonnet and John Ochs—Boat Name: Apothecary

Barnes Cup: This award is given annually to an individual whose service to the club stands out. This year we want to
recognize Jerry Seymour for his enthusiastic support of CYC as well as his efforts and successes in bringing in sponsors for the Red Fox and his support of that event, his time and attention to the Web Site and Club Communications while serving as a 2009 Board member and the many other things he does to make CYC keep on ‘ticking.’
