Bitter Ends - Venice Women's Sailing Squadron

 
FWSA Meeting, May 20, 2010

Eleven Bitter Ends attended the May FWSA meeting at St. Petersburg (Salty Sisters).  Judy Karr, our 1st Delegate, gave her report on our activities since January.  Highlights of the meeting, Bitter Ends earned Sunfish Spirit Award.  We thank Beth Anderson for her participation in Interclubs which winning this award reflects.  The  Salty Sisters of St. Pepe received the Pram Spirit Award.  Lilly Kaighin Award goes to past FWSA President Fay Nicholson.   A new club was welcomed,  Sarasota Yacht Club Keel Magnolias.  Not wanting to compete with their Luffing Lassie Sisters they have chosen keel boats (Sonars).  Young Woman Sailor Award (YWSA) trophy and $1,000 went to Paige Railey (accepted by her twin sister Brooke) nominated by the Bow Chasers of Clearwater, who received a new Perpetual Award for being the nominating club.  New president of FWSA for 2010-2011 is Sue Lapp (Broad Reachers of Pass-A-Grille), Gloria Davis is the new Vice President (Salty Sisters-St. Pepe).  All had a good day!   Submitted by Nancy Marik, 2nd Delegate.
