First indulge me a moment to thank you for trusting me once again to be your Vice Commodore . Your vote of confidence is very much appreciated . I do not take your trust lightly and I will endeavor to listen and act on member input .

We have an excellent Board this year who are already working to make 2017 one of our best years at the Yacht Club ever . It is the membership that make our Yacht Club what it is . Two members , Gerry Harvey and Jim Serpa have stepped up to take on the duties of Dock Master and Dry Storage Manager for this coming year . Both will be invaluable in keeping our Docks and Dry Storage areas up and making improvements as needed . Soon I will be asking membership to fill other positions falling under the Vice Commodore ’ s purview .

Speaking of improvements , John Dezzutto , Vice Commodore 2016 , left us with a good base from which to continue work . Thank you , John , for your service last year . There are a couple of projects already on the table for the coming year : completion of the dock board replacement project on the South Dock , and the painting of the exterior of the building .

I ’ m looking forward to a productive year with the help of you , the Membership . ~ Dave Vaughan
