This January marks the beginning of our yacht club’s
twenty-fifth year. A club which started with 36 couples closed 2007
with over 230 couples. Our club has come a long way in 24 years, and
it is a tribute to those past leaders who have made it happen. By past
leaders I refer to past bridges, past directors, past committee chair
persons and all of the yacht club members who served on these committees
to promote the good of the club. We all know that the hard work happens
“in the trenches.”
I am honored to serve as the twenty third commodore of this
yacht club. It is a pleasure to serve in this office and accept the
challenge to carry on the traditions of this club
We are off to a great start for 2008. We have an
outstanding bridge and board of directors and our committee chairs are
knowledgeable boaters all. Several of our committees which plan for the
coming year’s activities have already met. Among these are the Cruising
Committee which has already presented a comprehensive and challenging
schedule for next year; our Education Committee whose intent it is to
keep us safe and knowledgeable on the water, and our Entertainment
committee which has the responsibility of scheduling events which appeal
to our social nature. As the year progresses, our other committees will
begin their efforts to make 2008 our best boating year ever.
Since I am a power boater, my wish to you is “May the
winds always be at your back and not over 12 knots”. Happy Boating!
