Commodore's Report
July has sure hit us with the heat. Hope you still got to enjoy the
club during the month. A great crowd turned out for our July 4th
celebration followed on the 5th with a moving Sundowner ceremony
facilitated by our own honor guard of Ray Dewrell & Mickey LaGarde
who did a great job with the flag on very short notice.
August looks to be a quieter month with events set to avoid the heat
either indoors and/or in the water. I want to extend a huge thank
you to all the volunteers that seem to materialize out of thin air when
something needs done. These unsung heroes help with a myriad of
tasks that would otherwise cost us dearly to contract out. At the
same time, the camaraderie that ensues is wonderful. It is a great
way to meet more members and give back to the Club.
In the spirit of believing we all want to make FWYC a place we love
to spend time at, I am not one to promote rules dictating every facet
of club use. Rather, I believe the membership is comprised of people
who care about their fellow members and want all to enjoy what we
have here. With that in mind, I am asking that those who bring their
power boats up to the beaches on the west side of the point not
anchor there. These are the only beaches accessible from the land
side and the boats create a limit on access, safety issues for those in
the water and possible beach erosion. When anchoring, please do so
at least 30 feet from shore to allow water use for bathers and launch
& retrieval access for the small sailboats.
