Committees
The old adage that many hands make light work is also what makes a volunteer Club like MYC possible. Without a strong base of volunteers to perform the various committee functions, things just don't get done. Volunteering is a great way to get involved in any of the standing committees and help shape the Club.
WATERFRONT COMMITTEE
John Murray, Chair, Chet Mazer, Dave Williams, Tip O'Neil, Eliot Shanabrook, Nate Burke, Paul Mervis. The responsibilities of the Waterfront Committee touch us each time we use our boats. The committee oversees the operations of the waterfront, launch scheduling, maintaining the launches and floats as well as the waterfront rules and activities.
