Commodore’s Comments

S pring has sprung, I

think? The daylight

hours are getting longer

and hopefully soon we

will start to see boats

coming out from under-

neath their winter covers.

Unfortunately, our piers

did not come through the

winter unscathed. As a

result of the high-water

levels and the ice we

have some damage to the

brackets holding the fin-

ger piers to the auxiliary

pier. The damage is mi-

nor, but it cannot go

without repair. We will

be looking for several

work days over the next

couple of months to address the damage. Please watch your e-mail for

postings about work opportunities; we cannot get this done without

the help and teamwork of our membership.

The spring brat fry was a success, the fry crew not only cooked all the

food but they somehow managed to clean the garage. Great job boys!

We had a 50/50 raffle that generated a total pot just shy of $1,000.00

with the winner donating their portion back the club. Our members

are the best!!! Ship 50 had their annual chili cook off with Kevin Wer-

ner taking top honors this year.

This coming month we have the Commodore’s Ball coming up on

Saturday April 13. This year’s theme is a Crew Dinner with a cover

band as entertainment and another 50/50 raffle. Dinner will feature the

SYC tenderloin and were working to get whitefish. So, break out the

crew gear and head on down to the club and join the fun.

I look forward to seeing you all at the club this coming month.

All Hands on Deck This month, we are meeting Chris Aldag, the chair of your HVAC and Building Commit-

tees. Chris is married to Tanya and they have two sons. Jake is 13 and Zach is 16 years

old. Chris’ parents, Jerry and Pat Aldag, joined SYC in 1971, so Chris remembers grow-

ing up around the club and the derrick yard, playing in the basement, and hanging out

with current members as young kids. Chris and Tanya then joined SYC on their own in

2015 and Chris began to use his project manager and estimation skills to make many con-

tributions to SYC through the HVAC and Building Committees.

The main purpose of the Building Committee, Chris says, is to provide preventive

maintenance to all equipment. He enjoys making sure that everything in the building is in

working condition. He inspects the building at least once every two weeks to make sure

everything is working properly, from the kitchen hood to the boilers and roof top units.

His time spent “working” at the club averages about ten hours a month. His time spent

socializing at the club averages much, much more.

During Chris’ tenure as Building Chair, he has overseen several big projects around

the club. We’re sure you have noticed the recent replacement of the rooftop unit for heat-

ing and cooling the dining rooms and bar. That job was completed in December 2018. And then in January 2019, dur-

ing shutdown, the replacement of the flooring throughout the club was completed. Certain phases of that project were

coordinated by Chris from getting bids, to reviewing color samples, to making presentations to the SYC Board. Of

course, the greatest thing, Chris says, is seeing everyone take ownership in their club. If he ever asks for help, there is

always a good turnout of members to do the work required to improve the facilities. And if someone would like to learn

about the ins and outs of the Building Committee, Chris is always willing to teach. He’s always ready to accept more

help.

When asked about the rewards of serving on this committee, Chris says that the best reward is just being able to en-

joy the club with people who care. When asked about challenges, Chris has the attitude that with the right mind set,

“you can do anything.” And that’s all summed up in the name Chris and Tanya chose for their boat—Seas the Day.
