The VYC Constitution describes the Rear Commodores ‘s Role like this:
Rear Commodore-Club Activities, Responsible for planning, organizing and executing all afloat and ashore regatta, race, tournament, social, educational and community activities.
When I was elected to serve our club as Rear Commodore I had looked at this, but I didn’t have any idea just how many activities we have going on! None of these happen without Volunteers, so I’ve decided to focus on the foundations of all activities, Volunteers First! Past Rear Commodore Bill Noonan did a wonderful thing when he put together the All Volunteers Thank You Luncheon this year. He put together a list of over 260 Volunteer roles that were filled by over 160 VYC members! The biggest activity in our Club is Volunteering.
Most of us have played a Volunteer role in one event or another, from Game Days and Pot-Lucks to major Regattas and Charity Fund-Raisers we have lots of activities to choose from. I want to support our Volunteers any way I can. We’ll have a new Volunteer section on the VYC website and we’ll be keeping in touch with newsletters over the Summer.
I'm lucky to have lots of help; George Krayniak our Director of Ashore Activities and Mike Danielson our Director of Afloat Activities and I make an unlikely trio.
This year our Club has been asked to host the sailing events of the Pan Am Games. So far 50 people have offered to help Linda Green put this together. The games are coming up in October so we need to stay in touch with the latest information in the next few months.
As busy as the Club is, we always have opportunities to try new ideas. If you have an idea for a new activity or how to make one of our existing activities better, just let me know. I love trying new things! Volunteering is fun!
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to have fun supporting all of Vallarta Yacht Club's activities!
Cheers,
Randy Hough
Rear Commodore
