Welcome Aboard
New Members
Happy New Year greetings to all!
As I write this, of course, we’re in
the midst of the holiday season and
anticipating the New Year. I hope
all of you have a happy holiday and
best wishes as we start 2014.
As we start 2014, we have a couple
of ongoing projects that you may
notice at the Club. We are awaiting delivery of a new
water heater for the hot water service in the Club’s
main bathrooms. The old one had rusted out and
leaked profusely. The new water heater, an ondemand type, is a less expensive choice than a
reservoir-type water heater, and should save money
in long-term energy costs while supplying unlimited
hot water for the bathrooms. The Club’s main gate
was damaged beyond repair in 2013, so we are
working to replace it. I hope to have some nice
choices for the design of a new gate to present at the
next FWYC Board of Directors meeting.
I’m looking forward to the upcoming year as your
Vice Commodore. I enjoy spending time at the Club
and with our members, and I hope you do, too. We
have a wonderful venue for activities on and off the
water. Let’s take advantage of them and work
together to make 2014 an enjoyable and successful
year.
