I m thankful of the attributes and accomplishments of our club. I m also inspired by the potential we have to become even more exceptional. If you missed Saturday s Ball, you missed it. We had the privilege of presenting several awards. Our Junior Sailors of the year were Jordan Previto and Ricky Welch. Yachtsmen of the year were Tom Stokes and June Wiggins. Sandy Pace was presented with the Kapp Service award for her unconditional and untiring dedication to our club. Ricky was presented with Gulf Yachting Association s Laser Radial Award for the second consecutive year. I am proud of all our junior sailors. It s clearly a measurement of success to recognize the young men and ladies who will soon grow out of juniorhood (That s a word now). Sailing is not a men s sport. Sailing reaches across genders and age groups. The friends these young sailors meet when sailing and working on their boats will likely be lifelong fraternal friendships. So let s continue supporting our sailing and boating programs. A stupendous party followed the formalities of the Commodores Ball. During cocktails prior to the presentations, we enjoyed strings provided by Set Sail Yachts. The string quartet consisting of Lucas Walker, Alyssa Graham, Jennifer Palma, and Alex Rayburn performed classical compositions. What a treat! Thanks to Sasha from the Gulf Coast Symphony for assisting with coordinating the young string performers. We busted a move when the Ice Men plugged in and rocked the house with their horn section, guitars, and drums. We have had several request to have the Ice Men back. I m thinking maybe we can kick off an early Spring with the band on the deck before they melt in the summer heat. This was truly a show. These formally trained musicians entertain with an original sound of Jazz, Blues, and pure funk. We have so much more planned for this year. I will leave a little suspense, but look forward to a pile and a half of fun including club cruises, events and parties, and club ambiance improvements. There is ample room for everyone s involvement. So please step up. Be part of progress. Sail on! Darien

HOUSE COMMITTEE 2 SANDY PACE I would like to say Thank You for awarding me the Howard & Sallie Kapp Service Award for There are many people who do so much for the club and I am truly honored to have been chosen. Thank You again! BEACHMASTER JOE FLEMING It is a new year and I am making an effort to identify all of the boats parked along the north fence of the yacht club property. If you have a boat parked there and you have not completed the application for Boat/Trailer Dry Space, please contact me at motoring13@gmail.com or 228/ We do encounter the uncommon occasion of having to clear the yacht club grounds and we must have a means of contacting each boat owner.
