Out with the old, in with the new on the LYGTC Board!
On Friday, April 4, retired LYGTC Board president Mary Wilson-Tauson and spouse, Ric, celebrated the passing of the gavel at a gathering at the Schooner pool largely catered by Compass Rose employees Kimmie Shuebrook and Noah Mitcheff serving libations and appetizers. Liz and Lisa helped out behind the scenes with planning, shopping and music.

Billed as a Just Because Party, Mary elaborated to explain it was Just Because Life is especially good in Schooner and in The Landings. It was an opportunity for the Tausons to thank Schoonerites (and a few LYGTC Board members with whom Mary worked most closely) for their friendship and support over the past six years while she served on The Landings Board as a member and then president for two years.
The Landings Rosana Jaramillo, Director of Administration, and GM David Gillespie stopped in and a special addition was Shirley Rasmussen who is here for a couple of weeks with daughter-in-law Anne Marie.
Mary congratulated Schooner’s new representative to the LYGTC Board, Crystal Day. Although Crystal has been coming to the area for years with family, she and her partner, Scot Elrod, only recently moved to Schooner after five years in Sunset Harbor, joining her brother and sister-in-law, Gus and Deb Gustafson.
Crystal and Scot met online while both were living in Colorado. Scot’s professional background is primarily in financial planning. Crystal is a retired nurse and her last position was as president/CEO of a multi-location home health agency. Her strong commitment to giving back to the community as well as her broad experience on a variety of boards and respect for protocol and process prepare her well for her role on the Board. Formerly secretary of the golf committee, she now serves as a non-voting member. She also is active in the LYC working on membership. She particularly enjoys socializing with family and friends. Scot especially enjoys boating and golf and is active on the Wellness Committee and in the United Way Campaign. Scot has one daughter, Crystal a son, daughter, and five grandchildren.

The March pool party unfortunately overlapped with the spring chorus but both events were successful. Maria Aponte and Chris Dixon performed in the former Co-hosts for the latter were John and Michele Shepherd, Steve and Sarah Noyes, and Jay and Sharon Buckley.
enjoys another birthday.
March was a big birthday month for Schooner ladies most of whom were able to attend our March 31 luncheon: Theresa Brooks, Sharen Buckley, Jackie Dorval, Susan Kolmer, Michele Shepherd, Trish Thomas, and the most senior, Jonnie Ockerlund at 95! We all look forward to Shirley Rasmussen turning 100 this coming summer!
