Report

● Boat Ramp - work will begin on February 3.
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 !!

What is the FWYC Appointments
Committee?
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
