Ahoy, everyone!
1926 - 2014
Well, we’ve made it through June
and now summer has officially
started. We’re moving into the heart
of the hottest season of the year. So
first of all, I’d like to take this
opportunity to encourage everyone
to take care of yourselves. Drink
plenty of fluids (water especially!), avoid overheating,
use sunscreen, get plenty of rest – all the good advice
you’re used to getting. The summer season can be
stressful on our health. Likewise, the heat, humidity,
and storms of summer can be stressful on our facilities
here at Fort Walton Yacht Club. I ask all of you to keep
your e yes and ears open for any problems you might
notice on the property. If you do notice something,
please report it on one of the maintenance forms that are
tacked to the bulletin board. Let’s make sure we are all
looking out for our Club property and facilities.
That task has been more difficult than usual in the past
month. Our maintenance man, David Brown, was out
of action for a while with a medical problem. By the
time you read this, he will have returned to work. Let’s
all welcome him back – I’m certainly glad to see him!
Our General Manager, Eric Mattiza, has been working
extra duty to help keep up with maintenance, and so have
our wonderful member volunteers, who continue to
work in big and small ways to keep our Club property
attractive. A hearty thanks to you all!
I really do enjoy all the boating fun, fellowship and
camaraderie of FWYC. As always, I’d like to close by
saying that I hope you take advantage of all the Club has
to offer. I look forward to seeing you there!
