Commodore's Message

Commodore Dick and Brenda Wood


It is hard to believe, but once again the boating season is nearly upon us. Winter is long in Maine. But the winter was tempered by many DEYC fun activities including our Christmas Party, Sugarloaf Ski-weekend, Snowbird Rendezvous, and six Winter Gatherings. Thanks to everyone who made these events a success!

There was plenty of club work to go around as well. Beyond the task of the average winter season, we found ourselves re-writing new By-laws. After countless hours of hard work by Chairman, P/C Bob McCarthy and his committee, the By-laws were reviewed and approved by the Board of Director’s at a special meeting. Upon passage, by a overwhelming majority vote of the membership, the new By-laws became effective immediately. The new By-laws are printed in the roster book, which everyone will receive.

It was never our intent to satisfy everyone, which is impossible. We now have By-laws that are much improved and something to build upon. I appreciate all those who have taken the time to review this complex and not so interesting reading and who have returned a ballot. It would be unfair not to mention those who got the ball rolling on this important matter nearly 4 years ago, including P/C Shirley Geoffrion, Sarah Davis and Edie Mason.

At this time, I would like to welcome all new members and I invite you to participate in our scheduled events. Volunteering is a great opportunity to meet other club members. We are a club of volunteers and we could not function without you.

In your packet, which you have just received, please read all the information immediately, and send back your reservations in a timely manner. This is helpful to all those involved who have volunteered to organize these events. If you need any forms or have questions about any scheduled events, please contact the host, myself or go to our web site: www.downeastyachtclub.com for assistance. Also, check out the many, great photos everyone has submitted. The web committee is taking orders for sponsors; so sign-up.

In closing, I would like to thank all those who have been so helpful to Brenda and me from the start, especially Lynn, our Administrative Assistant. The club would be in turmoil without Lynn. Spring is here and hopefully, we can look forward to a warm summer, fun times, and a great boating year.

Best regards,

Commodore Dick Wood
