Letter Log June 2019 30° 25.60’N 86° 35.58’W Commodore's Report June is here and the outdoor activities are heating up. Activities have increased and the club is busy all week. In that regard, we must be doing something right as a club: Membership applications overflowed the temporary bulletin board (a big thanks to the group of volunteers that rebuilt the hallway board) The Catalina 22 fleet inquired about our availability to host (on an emergency basis) their national regatta this summer as the venue in Oklahoma was unfit due to spring weather damage. They have since rescheduled in OK at a later date. We received the 2019 Daily News award for Best Yacht Club on Emerald Coast Event bookings for our facility are almost maxed out through the year. Take pride in this and help when you can to keep this fine establishment a desirable place to meet, eat, drink and sail. For our Memorial Day Sundowner ceremony, we were fortunate to have a group of middle school members of the Emerald Coast Young Marines perform the duties of lowering the flag in full honor for our ceremony. These young men and women did a professional job and should be congratulated. 2
