COMMENTS FROM YOUR
Our new General Manager, Darren Betz, has
been aboard for a month and I have already
received numerous positive comments
about his leadership and enthusiasm. I am
the first Commodore in nine years to have
the pleasure of serving as both Commodore
and acting Manager; I am very happy to
relinquish the management aspects to a
professional of such caliber like Darren Betz.
Thank you to those who have assisted me
during this transition. I have collected a list
of improvements from thoughtful members
and plan to address those suggestions in the
near future.
Our Club’s focus continues to be on
providing exceptional value to each of our
members. As I pointed out last month,
Louis Ballantyne’s tennis program has
helped develop over forty kids who have
received college scholarships to universities
all over the country. Chief Steve Crowder
and Jabbo Gordon are developing a sailing
program with as much potential to produce
great collegiate sailors. These are just two
examples of the value of FYC membership.
Pool/Reciprocal Privileges with TCC: I hope
you have visited our newly renovated pool.
By all accounts, our new Snack Bar service
and hybrid menu selections are a hit. One
important addition that we made to our
team this year was the position of a “Pool
Relations Manager.” Debbie Apple is key
to helping enhance your experience at our
Club’s pool. Please help welcome her the
next time you are enjoying our pool!
We have enjoyed reciprocal privileges with
our neighbors at Timuquana Country Club
(TCC) for years. To remind everyone, both
Clubs have agreed that as a member of FYC,
you can visit TCC ONLY if you are escorted
by a member there, and TCC members are
welcome at FYC ONLY if accompanied by
an FYC member. You cannot independently
visit their club, nor they ours, without being
the guest of a member who is present at the
time. This policy is beneficial to both clubs
as we want to maintain the distinctiveness
we enjoy as separate organizations.
Our summer programs are underway! I am
confident that your kids will make some
amazing lifetime memories here at FYC. All
you have to do is sign them up.
Flag Officers and Board of Governors
New Associate Member Classification: Our
new Associate membership classification is
off to a great start. We continue to conduct
focus groups and monthly receptions to
boost membership in this area. Our goal is
to attract the best and brightest to utilize
their ideas to further our Club throughout
the summer and beyond.
Recent Projects Completed: I am pleased to
report that more items on our bucket list are
complete. Bob Steeg and our fantastic staff
have spent numerous hours cleaning out the
Grimes house, back dock, and boat storage
areas. They identified and sorted hundreds
of items. Finishing this project, along with
the pool and other items already checked
off, completes the “needs” identified in our
2011 membership survey. We continue to
eliminate the visible wires on our facilities as
well as the non-structural additions which
may detract from the beautiful architecture
of our historic clubhouse and grounds.
Memorial Day brought us Tropical Storm
Beryl and the challenging results associated
with high winds and lots of rain. Before
the storm, our staff led by Billy Mayo, did a
fantastic job utilizing our existing hurricane
preparation plan and the after storm
clean up as well. He and the entire FYC
staff are fantastic and their hard work and
dedication make us all proud.
Yvonne and I recently attended the New
York Yacht Club’s opening of Harbor
Court in Rhode Island. Meeting with other
Commodores and their spouses from across
the nation made us keenly aware of how
highly regarded The Florida Yacht Club is
by other organizations. We are a top tier
Club and have a lot to be thankful for.
That being said, we are striving each day to
become even better.
Please be sure to join us for the 4th of July
as we celebrate, with family and friends, the
signing of the Declaration of Independence,
the birth of this Great Nation and all the
bountiful blessings that we are given each
day in the Land of the Free and the Home
of the Brave.
Until then, Meilleurs voeux, nous vous
verrons au Club!

Membership News:
In last month’s NewsWaves, Co-Membership Chair, Matt
Tuohy opened with the familiar quote “The more things
change, the more they stay the same.” In that instance, he was
referring to our new Associate member class for young adults
between the ages of 21 and 29. This group of individuals is
just starting out in life and we wanted to make being an FYC
member as affordable as we could for them. At the same time,
the way we will propose, endorse and approve new members
has not changed.
“If It Is To Be, It’s Up To Me” is a book by Thomas B. Smith.
And so it is with FYC membership. Your Membership
Committee is working hard this year to not only expand the
membership, but also to shape our committee into one that
will actively support the membership development process.
We are recruiting new members and ensuring a quality
membership experience for all of our members.
Welcome New Members!

Spotlighting FYC Women Sailors:
The Florida Yacht Club's Susan Grich and all female
Crew aboard J24 “Quicksand” took First Place!
The 2012 Jessie Ball Regatta was held on Saturday, June
2nd and was a part of the 2012 NFWSN Series (North FL.
Women's Sailing Network). Susan Grich was the Skipper
with Lisa Fewell, Jann Whidden, Merrill Varn, and Sharon
Pentaleri as the Crew on J24 “Quicksand”. Please congratulate
these women representing FYC Sailing!
The Jessie Ball Regatta was a mixed
class PHRF regatta, featuring a
variety of sailboats with women at
the helm from local clubs like The
Florida Yacht Club, North Florida
Cruising Club, Rudder Club, Navy
Jax Yacht Club and Epping Forest
Yacht Club. This event was hosted
by Epping Forest Yacht Club.
For information on our events, check
out our page! www.facebook.com/
thefloridayachtclub and select “Like.”
To do these things, and do them well, we need your support
and involvement. After all, it is the responsibility of the
current membership to recruit new members and give
feedback on what the Club is doing right and what we could
be doing better.
If it is to be, it is up to me.
- Thomas B. Smith
With our new Associate membership class, we now have
one more way for you as members to help us grow and
sustain the great FYC culture. Cultivating all classifications of
membership is important to the Club as an institution, and to
us as members.
We are only as good as the last experience our members and
prospective members have here at the Club. As a committee,
we are taking measures to ensure that our experiences are
positive ones, but with your help, so much more is possible!
If a Membership Committee or Board Member asks you if you
can think of a prospective member, or ways to improve our
current membership experience, remember “if it is to be, it is
up to me”. With that said, there is no better time than now to
propose a new member. Summer is here, the pool is alive, we
have a skilled General Manager and staff as well as a lot of fun
members! So, why not add a few more?
Bailey Stephens in the FYC Front Office has all of the
information you need. Contact her today!
Thanks,

A friend of mine came up to me last weekend and told me
that I had less gray hair than I did a month ago. We agreed
that it was due to the arrival of Jabbo and Steve. These
two certainly have had an enormous impact on our Fleet
Department in the few weeks that they have been on our
team. Thanks again for the great job you are doing for our
Club.
Summer Sailing Camp continues to provide an excellent
program for our kids this summer. Be sure to sign up your
kids, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, friends and
neighbors for this exciting one week program. Additional
weeks are also available for double the fun. Call Steve
Crowder at (904) 403-2480 for reservations and availability.
Our FYC Kid’s Fishing Club continues to offer tons of
fun on the last Sunday of every month. Bring your junior
fishermen to the A-Dock at noon to join in on the fun.
Our cruising calendar remains full of exciting events. New
to our Club, is the Trailer Cruise to Cedar Key for Scallops.
Stay tuned for details about this exciting new event.
Our sailing programs will continue for the rest of the
summer and we’ll also have our Wednesday night racing,
featuring our fleet of J24’s. Give us a call if you would like
a first-hand look or even a ride on a J Boat. We are also
continuing to seek support of PHRF racing throughout the
spring, summer and fall.
Come out and join us on the lively waters of the St. Johns
River.
See you on the water,
A. Lynn Ellis
Fleet Captain
Thank you...
I would like to voice a sincere thank you to Charlie Berg,
Ira Sonn, Winston White, and a few others for their support
during Tropical Storm Beryl. Their efforts and assistance
following the storm were above and beyond the call of duty.

My Point
On May 24th we had another wonderful Junior Banquet
with over 100 participants. Our parents, kids, and coaches
that make up our FYC “Zone Team” were here celebrating
another very successful after-school Junior Program! Many
tournament titles were won throughout the year including
team and individual titles at the local and state level. We
also recognized our up-and-coming future stars, our 4-10
year olds and the stand outs of our Grand Prix Program. We
honored all of our high school players (I’ve had 29 this year),
our state ranked players (we had over 50), our graduating
Seniors and of course our awesome parents!
Congratulations to our following special awards winners:

games, having fun meeting new friends, swimming and sailing.
If your child has not had the opportunity to join us, there
is still time! All ages from 4 - 18 are welcome. Call the FYC
Tennis Pro Shop for more information at (904) 389-4281.
The week of July 4th is the only week of camp that we will have
a half week (Thursday and Friday). We will however, host our
very popular annual Parent or Adult & Child Round Robin. In
the past, this event has been strictly Parent & Child, this year
if you do not play tennis or are not available and your child
would like to play in the event, they may use an “adopted”
parent! This fun round robin is for kids of all ages, as long as
they can rally and enjoy the experience. Call the Pro Shop to
sign up!
From July 14th - 16th, we will be hosting a Junior USTA
Tournament. The FYC Tennis Courts will be tied up for that
weekend and we apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
We will do our best to reserve a court at one of our
neighboring clubs if you would like to play. Please come out
and watch our juniors compete against others from around
Florida. There will be some very talented kids out here!
See you on the courts!

Summer is in full force around here… and with such
a rainy June we are due for some real fun in the sun
during July! We can’t start off much better than with the
Fourth of July Celebration. This year, our celebration
falls on a Wednesday so it will be a fun “hump” day at
the Club. We have a full spread for lunch and dinner
including my Rum Spiked BBQ Baby Back Ribs before
the fireworks display on the river. You’ll enjoy games,
waterslide, bounce house, good eats and fireworks. There
will be no reason to even leave the Club that day. On
the 6th, I’ll put together the famous Shrimp and Beer
Festival in the Pirate’s Den. Later in the month, we are
having “An Evening in Asia” in the Pirate’s Den as well.
I will feature cuisine from all over the continent and
Chef JoJo will be preparing his world-class Sushi. If you
are intimidated by sushi or raw food, have no worries.
We have the freshest seafood and there will be cooked
varieties offered as well. This seafood is so fresh that it
could have swam into the kitchen!

Since I grew up in Ohio, the summer season was the time
that we lived off of the land. We had beautiful zucchinis,
asparagus, green beans, and many other vegetables. One
crop that reaches its peak season in July is corn! We grew
Silver Queen Corn which in my opinion is the best sweet
corn available. Florida offers some great sweet corn too so
we should do a class on that. There are so many things that
you can do with corn and I will show you a few new ideas.
Come out to shuck some corn on the 26th!
Happy cooking,

What are the Best Apéritifs?
The French word “Apéritif ” translates to having a drink before
a meal. Some say that the purpose of the Apéritif is to cleanse
the palate and perk up the appetite. The more traditional
concept is that it is intended to slightly curb the appetite so that
you can relax, take your time with the meal, and get the greatest
enjoyment from the food. For this reason, a good Apéritif tends
to be a little bit sweet.
An excellent, and very popular, Apéritif in France is the “Kir”
(pronounced keer), which originated in the Burgundian city
of Dijon. This slightly sweet cocktail is made with a base of
dry white wine to which a tablespoon (or to taste) of crème
de cassis (blackcurrant liqueur) is added, along with a twist of
lemon peel. The traditional wine to use is Bourgogne Aligoté,
but any dry white will do, the sharper and flintier the better.
My personal favorite is the “Kir Royale”, traditionally made
with a base of Champagne (but a good, very dry, sparkling
white wine will do) to which a tablespoon of liqueur de
framboise (raspberry liqueur) and a small slice of orange,
slightly squeezed, is added.
A nice, warm-weather quaff is “Sangria“ (Spain), made
by macerating cut-up fruit (oranges, lemons, limes and
apples) in red or white wine. Flavor it to taste (for suggested
quantities contact me) with orange and lemon juice, brandy
and Cointreau (sugar optional). Allow to stand overnight if
possible. To serve, add club soda or sparkling water, pour over
ice and garnish with pieces of fruit and a dash of allspice.
Another possibility is a “Wine Spritzer”, a combination of twothirds white wine, one-third club soda or sparkling water. Serve
in a highball glass (ice optional) with a wedge of lemon or lime.
The Wine Club meets for a tasting class on the third Tuesday of
each month. Make a reservation to try it out by calling the FYC
Front Office at (904) 387-1653. If you have questions, send me
an e-mail at [email protected].

Massage
Not Just Pampering Anymore!
An article regarding the benefits of massage was recently
published in The New York Times. In The Wall Street Journal,
another article reports that there is a surge of interest within
the alternative medicine community in regards to studying
the benefits of massage. A 2009 study found that a full body
massage lowers your heart rate, boosts the immune function,
and lowers blood pressure in women with breast cancer
undergoing radiation treatment. A 2011 study showed that
children given a 20 minute massage by their parents every night
for 5 weeks (plus standard asthma treatment) had significantly
improved lung function. It is a wonderful article and I
encourage you to pick up a copy in the Fitness Center and read
about the benefits for yourself. I further encourage you to pick
up the phone and set up a massage appointment.
Everyone has their own reasons for receiving a massage: from
relieving stress to sore muscles or it’s just simply a part of
their wellness regiment. Come and experience the benefits for
yourself!

Tips for Healthy Skin
1. Protect your skin daily by using a sunscreen with SPF 15 or
higher and with UVA/UVB.
2. Hydrate by drinking plenty of water daily with at least 8 to 10
glasses of water. Your skin will look plumper and firmer when
hydrated.
3. Extra oxygen is what our skin and body needs. Perform aerobic
exercise weekly for 30 minutes at least 3 times a week. Not only
does extra oxygen keep your skin looking better but your body
will be toned and in shape as well.
4. Exfoliate your skin weekly and remove dead skin cells to allow
new cells to grow. Your skin will appear smoother and brighter.
5. Moisture helps with skin’s elasticity. Apply a moisturizer in
the morning and at night. Vitamin C creams promote excellent
wrinkle control and help to fade dark spots. Products with alpha
hydroxy acids keep skin looking younger.
Good skincare is both inside and out. Eat well and take good care
of your skin. Contact your FYC Esthetician, Gina Bradley, for a
facial that will definitely help your skin.
