Another month has gone by, it’s
April already, and Spring is
moving right along! I hope you’re
all looking forward to the many
activities to come in Spring and
Summer. I’d like to thank the
many folks who have been
working to help make the FWYC
property ready for this upcoming
busy season and especially for our first big events of
the year. The Landscape Committee has been
working hard, and we’ve had great help decorating
the Club for events. A hearty “Thank You” to you
all!
We had to fix a couple of things in the clubhouse in
March. The water heater that serves the kitchen had
to be replaced. Also, many of you are aware that an
electrical problem in the kitchen precipitated an
evacuation of the Club last month. Member James
Ballard, along with help from several others, spent
a number of hours checking out the problem. It was
tracked down and fixed that night. I’m always
hopeful that we don’t have issues like these, but they
sometimes occur. We’ll remain vigilant
to avoid them in the future. I ask that all
of you be observant and if you spot
something that seems to have the
potential to become a problem, please let
us know. Report it on a maintenance
form or let Eric, David, or me know so
we can take care of it. Another item of
interest is the Club’s roof. While we
don’t think the roof is in need of
immediate replacement, we will probably
have to do some maintenance on it soon,
so we’re looking at our options in that
regard.
benefit when we all participate. By the time you read
this, we may have already held our first Self-Help Day
of the year, on 29 March, but that’s not the only thing
going on. There will be regattas and other activities, or
you can just watch the sunset from the clubhouse or out
on the point. We’re here for fellowship and enjoyment
among all of us, together. I hope to see you here!
