COMMODORE’S
COMMENTS
With the winter meeting at Biloxi Yacht Club
over, your new officers for 2012 are Immediate Past Commodore John
Mathews (PYC), Commodore Pete O’Neal (Buc. YC), Vice Commodore Danny
Killeen Jr. (PCYC), Rear Commodore Corky Potts (SYC) and
Secretary/Treasurer Janace Batty (Buc. YC).
I want to take this time to thank the Board of
Directors for electing us. We are very appreciative of this honor
and will work hard as your EXCOM in supporting the GYA.
Biloxi Yacht Club did an excellent job of hosting
the winter meeting for the GYA both having meeting facilities well
organized, excellent food and service. Our appreciation goes to
Commodore Jeffery Ellis, Club Manager Hugh Stallings and Past
Commodore Rocky Rhodes Jr. for a very well organized event.
The winter meeting was very active for our Board
of Directors.Nine
resolutions and directions were given to the EXCOM and GYA racing
Rules Committee to be presented at the Opening Regatta which will be
held at the Buccaneer Yacht Club May 5-6,
2012.
A new direction has been has been added to the
GYA, as the Board of Directors has passed a resolution for having a
new designated GYA club boat by the year 2018. With this direction,
the EXCOM will organize an Ad Hoc Committee to establish the
parameters for such a boat that will service the GYA well into the
future. Can you believe we have been in the Flying Scot well over 43
years!
The EXCOM is here to serve you and we look
forward to having input on upcoming issues both from individual
members and GYA Clubs.
Sincerely,
Pete O’Neal
GYA Commodore
