FWYC Letter Log December 2017 | Page 4

At the Rear of the Year ow –December is here already. Back in January when we had our first Entertainment Committee W planning meeting, anything past April seemed like the distant future. I’ve got to say that this has been an enjoyable year as your Rear Commodore. Not so much for the events themselves, but more for the wonderful people that volunteered for the committees. Yes, that IS plural. Most of you associ- ate the job with the club entertainment and that does take most of the effort. I was blessed to have an energetic group that had great ideas at the kickoff and stuck in there all year to make sure the events went off well. Many thanks to Jenny & Scott Bailey, Cindy Barber, Jackie Chapman. Jennifer & Sam Grant, Jan & Charles Hine, Gwen Jennings, Wini Marquez, Nicky Mullis, Phyllis Seaton, Shari Seaton and Cece Stoldt for their hours of planning, shopping, decorating and other logistics in making the parties hap- pen. Now, about that plural! Also working through the Rear’s office is the Historical Committee. Lynne Reynolds handled the duties of ensuring that records of the happenings are preserved for perusal in future years. The Welcoming Committee that meets with new members to give them a brief overview of the club and answer questions was led by Skip Harrington with Jerry Vaughan assisting. And finally, so that the membership knows when things are going to happen (hate to be late for a party), the Pub- licity Committee made up of Cindy Barber and Sam Grant produced information in various formats to alert you to upcoming activities. All these folks made my job easy as they could all be depended on to perform whatever role they volun- teered for. Please give them a hearty Thank You when you see them around the club. I hope you have enjoyed the events this year and look forward to seeing you at the 2018 happenings as a participant! Thank You for all your support! ~ Craig Stoldt rs 2018 Flag Offi ea c r e Commodore Commodore Faye Black e Vice Commodor Craig Stoldt R Sam Grant Fleet Captain Shari Seaton irectors 2018 Board of D Scott Mitchell Scott Bailey Bob Fisher Brooke Harrison Jim Jeter Wini Marquez Matt McGee Lou Richard Jerry Vaughan s Reddoch William Diane Wells Linda Wright 4
