Fort Walton Yacht Club Letter Log April 2018 30° 25.60’N 86° 35.58’W Membership By Scott and Jenny Bailey, Email: [email protected] IT IS THE GOAL of the Membership Committee to focus on attracting new members to FWYC, retaining our existing membership, and getting the word out to our community about how great FWYC is. Based upon the number of applicants we have right now, NINE for this month as of this writing, I would say the Club is doing a great job! Our Membership Committee members have been busy sharing FWYC with folks interested in becoming Members. Please take the time to thank Commodore Faye Black and Direc- tor Brooke Harrison for showing off our Club and our incredible Sunday Brunch to potential new members. Both interactions resulted in applications turned in right away. The Front Office has also been really good about steering membership inquiries our way and we have been busy working the phone and emails trying to get them signed up. These are exciting times for FWYC. We would also like to thank Diana Moore who has been visiting many FCYC clubs via land in her RV. She was able to share a lot of great information she gathered from these other clubs which we hope to implement and make FWYC even better than it is. We would like to introduce the “Pineapple Table” during Dining Room hours; the pineapple is the International symbol for “Welcome”. One of the large tables will be designated with a Pineapple cen- terpiece, showing all members – new and seasoned – that this ta- ble is a place to gather and Can you find mingle.
