Vice Commodore’s Column

By Dan Carrico

New Faces--Members may have seen a couple of new faces on our staff recently. I am pleased to introduce Richard Lopez and Patrick Satterfield.

Richard has come on board as our new Harbormaster. He has had a successful and lengthy career as an aircraft maintenance supervisor with a major airline. Richard recently retired and was looking for something fun and challenging. We think the Corinthian will be both for him.

Patrick is our new Bar Manager. He comes with plenty of experience in restaurant and bar management and a great attitude and is from Arcata. Among his past experiences, Patrick served as an Ordinary Seaman on the NOAA ship McArthur so we know he loves the water.

When you see Richard or Patrick, be sure to introduce yourself and give them a warm Corinthian welcome!

2002 Directory--It is not too early to provide your updated Membership Directory information to Frances. When doing so, please do not forget your email information. We want to get the Directory out as soon as possible after the New Year.

Annual Meeting--Please be sure to plan on attending the Club’s 116th Annual Meeting, Friday, November 9th beginning at 6:30 PM. For new members sake, the itinerary begins with a buffet meal followed afterward by the meeting in the Ballroom. If you cannot attend, be sure to request an absentee ballot from the office.
