Members should used alternate launching ramps in the area for February Here we are off and running on a new year. Cece and I hope those of you that attended the Winter Ball enjoyed yourselves – I know we did. The Change of Watch included recognition of those that volunteered their time and Commodore talents for various projects, Craig Stoldt committees, etc. during 2019. It is amazing how many people stepped up to ensure FWYC continues to be the fine place to be for recreation and comradery. For those that may have missed it, David Vaughan was awarded the Skip & Barbara Harrington Award for his long-term contributions of time and talent. Also of note, Steve Mee was presented the FCA Meritorious Service Award for his volunteer work during 2019. Thanks also to all those that have stepped forward this year for officer positions and the myriad of committee positions that keep this club going. Looking ahead, we have a lot of activities on the February calendar. The launch ramp will be closed for a rebuild starting February 3 for 3 weeks, Tom has some new ideas for Friday dining, there are 2 Viper regatta weekends, a Super Bowl potluck, Fat Tuesday and of course a Valentine dinner. There has to be something there to entice you to the club. Hope to see you there !! ● Finance Committee reported that December was an outstanding month at FWYC • Accrual funds for 2019 were paid in full, unfunded accruals from previous years were reduced by $6,000 ● Bylaw proposal - change in age limit for NWFSC Sailing Club Members ● GYA clubs require a 2020 sticker to enjoy their clubs.

This committee provides guidance and continuity on all matters relating to the decor of the interior and exterior of the Club. As chair of this committee, I am always looking for member ideas for improvements around the club. Recent examples are the new lobby furniture and upgraded bulletin board in the hallway. If you have any suggestions, please contact me and I will bring them forward to the committee. Thank you, Cece Stoldt, Appointments Committee Chair Email: [email protected] Craig P.S.
