Our Rear Commodore, Sam Grant has
the task of planning and implementing
all social events. Sam and Jennifer are
responsible for four committees. The Wel-
coming Committee, led by chairmen, P/C
Skip Harrington and Jerry Vaughan, will be
expanding to aid new members in finding
their place within our club. The Entertain-
ment Committee, also under the Rear Com-
modore, is one of the best opportunities to
become involved, to get to know new peo-
ple. This committee is always a true gem of
FWYC .

Our Fleet Captain, Shari Seaton has eight
committees, Members are needed for these
committees who are willing to step up so
that the yachting part of our yacht club
continues to flourish. Just providing volun-
teers and boats for races and regattas is a
full time job. Shari’s other committees have
able leaders, but will also need member
volunteers to help. You do not have to own
a boat, sail, race, or cruise to be a valuable
committee member for our Fleet Captain.
