It is a real honor for me to serve as the 101st
Commodore of the Florida Yacht Club. We live
just a few houses from the club and have been
members for close to thirty years. Our children all
grew up at the club as well.
The dictionary definition of a club is an
assemblage of like-minded people meeting to
pursue common interests. Our club has been
meeting to pursue common interests for over 134
years. The last few years, as we all know, have
been financially difficult for many of our members
and for the club itself. Our membership is down
about 130 members over the last three years but
the decline seems to have tapered off in the last
few months. Job One of your Board of Governors
and the Flag Officers this year is to reverse the
decline and rebuild the membership. About 75%
of the decline has been in the Resident and
Junior classifications with the balance in the
Honorary and other Special categories.
The good news is that we still have more than
1000 members and the economy is improving.

proposed by people who had been members for
less than ten years. This means that our newest
members are enjoying the club and want their
friends to join. Not many of our oldest (by tenure)
members have proposed a new member lately. In
fact, less than 10% of our members have proposed
a new member in the last two years.
This year, the Management and the Board are
going to work very hard to ensure that the member
experiences at the club are of high quality and that
the members are getting their money’s worth. If
you are enjoying the club and having fun, please
help us (and the club) by proposing your friends
for membership. The process is very simple but
does take about two months to complete. We have
extended the discounted initiation fees so now is
the time to discuss this with your friends, invite
them to the club for dinner or tennis and get them
excited about joining us.
Our goal this year is to increase Resident
membership by a net 50 members and to increase
Junior membership by a net 10 new members.
If we are successful, this will make a much more
sound and robust club. I welcome all comments
on how to improve our club. Feel free to either
stop me at the Club or send me an email at
[email protected].
See you at the Club.

Getting involved in your Club is easy!
Most of the hard work of the governance of the club is done in committees. Each committee is
led by a member of the Board of Governors and the members of the committees are volunteers
from the membership. The committees usually meet once a month for an hour or two. Their
recommendations are then forwarded to the Board for approval, implementation and oversight.
The best way for each of you to help improve our club is to volunteer to be on a committee or two.
Our standing committees are as follows:
·
·
·
·
·
Membership
Food and Beverage
Finance
Member Communications
Building and Grounds
F
·
·
·
·
·
House
Pool and Fitness
Tennis
Fleet (both sail and power)
Entertainment
Please, if you have a particular expertise or interest in a specific area, please consider serving on
one of the committees. Spouses are welcome to serve also. Please call Melissa at the club, put a
note in my box in the office or email me at [email protected].

Happy New Year!!! I would like to thank all of the members for their
participation in our December events! What fun!! We also have a
fun-filled year lined up for 2011. On the 2nd of January we have our
Change of Command which celebrates our outgoing and incoming
board members. Other fun club events include the Yachtsman of
the Year, “Florida Yacht Club’s Got Talent” Kid’s Club Party, Sushi
Night and our Famous Shrimp and Beer Fest. We had our first EVER
Breakfast Dinner Buffet in November and it was a huge hit, so much
so, that I have received many suggestions that we do this monthly!
So for the last Tuesday of each Month we are going to feature our
Breakfast Buffet and 2-for-1 Bloody Marys!

January 20th, 6:30 pm
A new year of cooking classes and I can’t wait to see all of your
happy faces at our next one! I am really looking forward to this year
and bringing some new recipes and ideas to the demonstration table.
I was thinking of how popular our Shrimp and Grits have become at
the club especially for our special events, so I am going to teach you
my TOP SECRET recipe. I will also show you a few variations of the
classic shrimp and grits recipe. It is very easy and tastes delicious! I
look forward to seeing you on the 20th and Happy New Year.
Enjoy The Holiday’s and see you at the Club!

The Grapevine:
Do You Really Need A Wine Cellar?
For most people the answer is NO because they have no intention
of holding on to their wine for an extended period of time (years not
months) to let it age. Many wines (especially reds) improve greatly
with age but most folks just don’t have the patience for aging. Even
if you don’t plan to age your wines it is still useful to understand the
characteristics of a wine cellar so you can ensure that your wines do
not deteriorate while they are waiting to be served.
A wine cellar protects wine from the natural enemies who seek to
destroy it: heat, sunlight and vibration. So keep these basic principles
in mind when you're thinking about where to store your wine.
KEEP IT COOL: 55°F is the ideal temperature but more importantly,
it should be a steady temperature.
KEEP IT DARK: Protect against the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
KEEP IT CALM: Avoid shaking, vibrating, or disturbing the bottles
(e.g. don’t store wine next to stereo speakers)
If you do decide to buy some wines to “put down” for aging, there
are many appliances specifically designed for wine storage. These
can be installed in any room of your home and they work almost as
well as a traditional wine cellar. If you want to build a “wine cellar”
(room), we’ve done it and would be happy to share information.
The Wine Club meets for a tasting class the third Tuesday of each
month. Make a reservation to try it out by calling the FYC office
(904) 387-1653. If you have questions, send me an e-mail at
[email protected].

King’s Day Regatta Recap
The 19th Annual King’s Day One Design Challenge attracted a
star-studded field of international sailors to The Florida Yacht Club on
the weekend of November 20th -21st . The International J-24 Class
Association held its annual meeting at FYC on Friday with many of the
delegates from around the world, who then competing on boats over
the weekend. Sailors from Monaco, Japan and Great Britain combined
with a strong contingent of US competitors to make this the most
talented field to compete at FYC in recent memory.
The conditions were very challenging with light winds on Saturday
and Sunday. Skipper Dan Borrer of St. Augustine, FL with tactician
and current J-24 World Champion Tim Healy of Newport, RI sailed an
amazingly consistent series, never finishing worse than second to win
the five race series. Second place went to the current J-24 National
Champion, Will Welles of Mount Desert Island Community Sailing
Center in Maine. The top local boat was Dr. Peter Bream on Team
Tarheal finishing in fourth place out of the fleet of 21 boats. The top
FYC boat went to Tim Monahan on USA 2504 finishing seventh in the
highly competitive fleet. While I can’t thank all of the many volunteers
that worked on this event by name, I’d like to single out a few that go
above and beyond to work on regattas at FYC. Lynn Ellis provided
his vessel Queen Anne as the signal boat and also served on the
Race Committee. Our Non-Resident member Payne Fewell drove
down from his home in Charlotte, North Carolina to run the Pin-Set
boat for the weekend. Scott and Jill Herbst graciously provided their
vessel Aquasition as the spectator boat. Without the hard work and
dedication of these and other individuals, the great regattas at FYC
would not be possible. Thank you all!

My Point
Happy New Year to everyone! It’s always fun for me to start a new year.
It’s also time to reflect back on the previous year on which things went
well and where we have room for improvement. Looking forward to
2011, the Tennis Staff members all re-established their goals and are
very excited about growing FYC Tennis. I won’t go into the details in this
article, but if anyone would like to know more I would be happy to share
them with you!
Thank you to all of you who came out to our Christmas Banquet to
celebrate the 2010 FYC Tennis Season and to honor all of the players
that made the year a success. Congratulations to all of our Club
Champions and our Special Award Winners, all of which were very
worthy and deserving recipients.
If anyone has any ideas on how to improve upon our Tennis program,
I would love to hear them!
We are going to start the year off with a small (but in my opinion the
most important program that we offer) Free Adult Beginner’s Class.
Formerly known as “Play Tennis FYC” we are now calling it “Quick
Start Tennis.” This is modeled after the USTA Quick Start Program, that
utilizes the slower balls in order to make learning the game of tennis
much easier. As many of you know the beginner class is a breeding
ground to our Adult Team Tennis. If anyone knows a member that may
be interested in learning our wonderful game, please me know so that I
can tell them about our great program.
Last but not least, our USTA Team Tennis sign-ups have begun. The
USTA season runs March thru June, matches are played Saturdays for
men and Sundays for ladies. The league includes doubles and singles.
Please call the pro shop at (904) 389-4281 for more information.
See you on the courts!

Weight Training should be performed slow and in a controlled movement.
Research shows that the slower the contraction the greater the muscular gains
(which can be approx. 7% more than a fast jerky movement)!

Massage News:
2011 the Year of Wellness!!!
Massage is a great way to bring in the New Year!!! Everyone
has stress, but the key is to manage the stress. Often stress
causes us to clench our jaw, neck and shoulder muscles. This
in turn, can set off tension headaches or nagging tightness in
those area. Part of your wellness program should incorporate
regular massages to relieve these areas. It can be weekly,
monthly or every six weeks; you decide. Don't save a massage
for a special occasions, instead introduce them into your
daily lifestyle. The key to a healthy lifestyle is proper nutrition,
regular exercise and MASSAGE, for your mind, body and
spirit!!!! Give me a call to schedule your next appointment or to
get more information!

telephone numbers were listed in meeting minutes I ran across from 1938. Many
of us are too young to remember using phone numbers like this. Heck, my kids
have never even been in a phone booth!
Times change but our club has been a place where relationships are born and
friendships strengthened since 1876. The FYC is more than a just a club for many
of us. It is interwoven into the fabric of our lives. For many of us, it is where we
learned to swim, sail or play tennis. We saw fireworks for the first time on the
docks. We had our first “real” date there. Some of us debuted, met our spouses,
were married, or had anniversary celebrations on the club grounds. What joyful
memory comes to mind when you think of the club?
At our Annual Membership Meeting, more than fifty people raised their hands
to express their intent to sponsor a new member this year. I am excited to once
again assist in the effort to bring more great membership candidates into our
great Club.
We created a new FYC facts brochure that you can pick up and take with you
when meeting with your prospective member. This tri-fold brochure is small
enough to fit into a purse or jacket pocket, and is filled with specific information
about the amenities of the Club that prospective members need to know.
Your board met 100% of the candidates for membership last year and we remain
committed to continuing this pledge. Board Members Kevin Green, Brooks
Busey and myself are at your service to help you with a perspective member.
Additionally, Melissa Schlesinger has done a fantastic job as our Membership
Director and can assist you with the process.
New Year is the ideal time to set new goals. Now is the time to sponsor a new
member. The process is easy and the rewards are huge!
