Joseph Santospirito and his wife, Lorin joined the Club in April 2005.   Although a relatively new member at the time, Joe volunteered for the position of Dock Master for the summer of 2007, assisting the Rear Commodore with the assignments of temporary slips.  In August 2007 he was appointed to the Nominating Committee, and in November he was elected to the office of Rear-Commodore for the 2007-08 fiscal year.  During the 2008 summer season, he continued with assigning both permanent and temporary slips as they became available and, in addition, was financially responsible for the collection of all Marina fees and for maintaining accurate records for the reimbursement of funds when required.  In 2008, Joe was re-elected Rear-Commodore.  During the summer of 2009, concern over the maintenance and repair of the Marina led Joe and the Board of Governors to consider additional funding from the membership to insure the stability of our Marina facilities.  As a result, he presented a proposal to the membership for an increase in Marina fees, together with a Constitutional change to effect this adjustment.  This year, Joe was elected Commodore and as a result will bring us into the new fiscal year with increased confidence.  Let's give our new Commodore all the support that he deserves.

Vice-Commodore, Joseph Corvi

Joseph Corvi and his wife, Stacey joined the Club in January 2005.  Having been former members of the Kings Park Yacht Club, Joe had experience serving on their Marina and House Committees.  During his first four years in our Club he was significantly active on several Committees, especially the Bartenders Committee, tending bar and assisting with the Coordination of Bartenders for the Winter House.  In November 2008, he was elected Vice Commodore for the 2008-09 fiscal year and this year he was re-elected for a second term.  His responsibilities include the overall operation of the Winter and Summer House while maintaining the necessary financial records for reporting to the Club Accountants, to the Board of Governors and to the membership.  This past summer, he did a fine job providing food and beverages throughout the summer with no loss in revenues, in spite of the many difficulties encountered.  His additional responsibility (in accordance with our Constitution) is to assist the Commodore when necessary in the discharge of his duties and to officiate in his absence.  Let's continue to offer Joe all the support we can as Vice Commodore.

Eb Mueller and his wife, Claire joined the Club in March 2007.  As Past Commodore of the Kings Park Yacht Club, Eb came to us with invaluable experience as a previous member and Officer of one of our local Yacht Clubs.  In August 2007, just three months after becoming a member, he was selected by the Nominating Committee to serve as Secretary and elected in November for the 2007-08 fiscal year.  During his first term in office, Eb did an excellent job recording the Minutes of all General Membership and Board meetings for presentation at the following monthly meetings.  In 2008, he was re-elected for a second term as Secretary for the 2008-09 fiscal year.  In addition to recording the minutes of all meetings, he is also responsible for maintaining custody of all reports, documents and correspondence relating to Club matters and for initiating replies as required by the Board of Governors.  Eb has excelled in these abilities also.  This year he was elected for a third term as Secretary for the 2009-10 year and  we wish him continued success in all his secretarial endeavors.

Let's make every effort to give our new Board Members the support and cooperation they deserve!
