COMMODORE'S MESSAGE

What an exciting year it has been here in the Sunshine State! The Florida Commodore's Association was born to fulfill the desires of the yachting community's past leaders in Florida. We now have an organization dedicated to our motto of "Keepers of the Flame" which is providing the leadership you asked for to honor the service that each of you have so generously given to your yacht clubs. The best of the best have come together to create programs of excellence that you can use immediately to energize your chapters and make them a viable resource for your yacht clubs. Each of us who have pledged excellence in leadership this year stands ready to work with your group of past commodores to provide programs of interest to stimulate and honor your membership. We sincerely hope that you will invite us to join with you in this endeavor.

To facilitate our goals of membership growth and retention throught outstanding service to our membership, we are appointing field representatives, or ambassadors, for seven geographical areas of our State of Florida. Their task is to make contact with each of your chapters to strengthen our relationship and to assist with programs of interest for your membership. They will be visiting the finest of yacht clubs including yours throughout their areas to create awareness and assist in starting chapters where none have existed, or where the chapter is looking for a new invigorated organization with a local emphasis. Please welcome these representatives into your clubs and let them know how they can better serve your past commodores and your yacht club.

It is an exciting time and we hope that we can further the camaraderie of our Florida yachting community through service to our yacht clubs. Keep the flame glowing!

Past Commodore RON RICHARDS
