Welcome sailors! |
|
As the New Year dawns on our sailing season I would like to welcome old and new sailors alike to the Blue Valley Yacht Club. It’s always a great feeling to rekindle the old friendships and make new friends as we share our common passion for being on the water aboard a vessel powered by the wind.
Your Board of Directors has set out some ambitious goals for this year that include facility & infrastructure improvements. Once again our primary means of accomplishing these plans remain the steady hard work of committed volunteers. Throughout the history of the BVYC many people have contributed numerous hours developing the sailing club we now enjoy. Several of the key individuals responsible for various improvements to our organization in past years remain active today, and in fact do an enormous amount of the work required to keep the club viable. When you see one of our dedicated volunteers out at the club working to improve the facility, give them a big Thank You. It is truly because of their efforts that we enjoy the benefits of having a safe and accessible location to set sail from.
It is our desire to make the BVYC as inviting and user friendly as possible both to serve our current members as well as to increase membership by attracting new families and individuals to the club. Some of the proposals being considered by the BOD will reap future benefits by improving the club’s utility, |

making it more attractive to potential members. Any organization benefits by presenting an appealing image to visitors and patrons alike. Our goal is to make this facility safe and welcoming by continuing to improve what has been realized thus far. By increasing awareness of our association of sailors in the community we can attract the new members it is vitally important to have in order to ensure the group’s viability in the future.
All that said, we are somewhat confined by the limitations of our budget, which is what makes the volunteer efforts of the members so important if we are to achieve what has been put forward. In the coming year there will be several projects ongoing at the club at various times. I encourage you to contact the Board members at any time if you have a desire to assist with any of the efforts, or if you have a question or comment.
Please be safe this season. Remember, always think it through before you do it and have a backup plan. Visualize, then execute.
I’ll see you on the water…..
