Skip and Barbara Harrington Trophy
For Exceptional Long-Term Contributions
To the Fort Walton Yacht Club
A TROPHY HONORING the countless contributions
to the Fort Walton Yacht Club of Past Commodore
Skip and Barbara Harrington was established in
October 2017 and presented to Commodore Ray
Dewrell at the December Board meeting.
This trophy, donated to the Fort Walton Yacht Club
by Jerry and Faye Black, is an antique bronze
winch mounted on a wooden base. The wood for
the base was from a 1946 tug boat.
The purpose of this trophy is to honor individual
members, spouses, or member couples who have
made Exceptional Long-Term Contributions to the
Fort Walton Yacht Club, in any aspect of the Club.
The recipient of this award will be announced an-
nually at the Change of Watch and Awards Banquet,
unless no recipient is named.
Membership
By Scott and Jenny Bailey, Email: [email protected]
THIS PAST YEAR was very productive for FWYC and in particular the Membership Com-
mittee. We were very fortunate to have members on the committee who brought great
ideas, were able to think outside the box, and were passionate about current and new
membership. But we were even luckier to have had a Chairman that spent countless hours
representing FWYC and its members. Faye Black, thank you for everything you do for FWYC.
Our goal is a simple one. Do everything we can to keep our membership happy and bring
more members into the FWYC family. We can’t do this alone and will need the help of other
members to make this happen. Help us spread the word about how much FWYC has to offer
and don’t forget to mention all the fun we have.
The Membership Committee meets on the second Tuesday of each month in the Commo-
dore’s Room at 7pm. All Members are welcome to attend!
The 2018 (is it really 2018?) Membership Committee cast of characters includes: John Farris,
Micki Gramm, Leslie Hanley, Brooke Harrison, Wini Marquez-Jimmerson, Kerrie Serpa, Pat
Tye, and Scott and Jenny Bailey. If you see us around the club please reach out and share
any ideas you may have. Also, feel free to thank them for everything they will be doing for
YOUR club this year.
