About Our Flag Officers

 by Past Commodore Howard Hucke

 

Commodore, Erik Milburn, Jr.

Eric and Laura Milburn joined the Club in February 2006.  Soon after joining, Eric joined the Bartenders Committee.  He also assisted the House Committee on several occasions by providing refreshments for the Dark Horse at General Meetings.  In November 2008 Eric was nominated and elected Treasurer for the 2008-09 fiscal year.  His responsibilities included the collection and disbursements of Club funds, recording monthly and yearly receipts-to-date, filing necessary financial forms, and keeping financial records up-to-date and available for reporting to our Club members, Accountants and State Auditors.  In November 2009, after successfully completing his term as Treasurer, he was elected for another term, followed by a third term in November 2010.  During the past three years, Eric has diligently provided our Commodore and his Board with budgeting information and sage advice which helped in establishing our most recent dues increase bringing us to the new year with increased confidence.  This year, Eric has been elected to the office of Commodore.  We wish him success with his new responsibilities.

Vice Commodore, Sue Bohm

Suzanne and Josef Bohm joined the Club in April 2006.  In November of that year, Joe was nominated and elected Club Treasurer, and in 2007 he was again elected Treasurer for the 2007-08 fiscal year.  In November of 2007, Sue was appointed Chairperson of the Entertainment and Special Affairs Committees, coordinating the various traditional events, dinner dances, etc. that took place during both the summer and winter months.  With Joe's help, she did an excellent job organizing Entertainment events at many of the functions, including St. Patrick's Day, the Fitting-Out Dance, Oktoberfest, both Christmas and New Year's parties, and more.  Sue continued heading up this Committee, working tirelessly for four years.  In addition to these responsibilities, both Sue and Joe joined in to help other Committees relating to the Bartenders' Committee and the House Committee.  In Eb Mueller's absence, Sue also handled payroll and scheduling this past summer as part of the Summer House Committee and helped run the Summer House with Craig Margolis and Ed McGilly.  This year, she was nominated and elected Vice Commodore for the coming year.  We wish her success with her new responsibilities as Vice Commodore and ask for everyone's cooperation and support in this most difficult task.

 

 

Rear-Commodore, Mike Kozyrski

Michael and Marybeth Kozyrski joined the Club in March 2008.  Soon after, Mike became interested in the Marina Committee, and in November 2009 he was appointed Lagoon Chairman.  He held this position for two years.  Some of his responsibilities entailed dock maintenance, measuring of boats, electrolysis testing on all boats, winterization, and summarization of the Marina.  In November 2011, he was nominated and elected Rear-Commodore.  His new responsibilities will encompass all issues pertaining to the Marina, including the assignment of slips and the collection of fees, the revision and posting of waiting lists, Marina maintenance, and the enforcement of Marina Rules and Regulations.  We hope you will give Mike your utmost cooperation in the tasks he has at hand.

 

Treasurer, Peter Scholz, Jr

Peter Scholz and his wife, AnnMarie joined the Club in March 2009.  Although members in the Club for a very short time, Peter took over the Grounds Committee from Jim Borella in 2010.  Both Jim and Peter were involved in developing an irrigation system for watering plants in front of the Club and maintaining the Grounds sprinkler system.  This year, Peter was nominated and elected Treasurer for the 2011-12 fiscal year.  His duties will include the collection and disbursements of Club funds, recording monthly and yearly receipts-to-date, filing necessary financial forms, and keeping all financial records up-to-date and available for reporting to Club members, Accountants and State Auditors as required.  We wish him success with his upcoming fiscal obligations.

 

Secretary, Julie Benkovsky

Steven and Julie Benkovsky joined the Club in January 2011.  During the past year they have been active on the Bartenders Committee helping out whenever and wherever needed.  Although a member of the Club a very short time, Julie felt that she would be able to assist the Board as Club Secretary and was nominated and elected Secretary for the 2011-12 fiscal year.  Her responsibilities will include the recording and keeping of all minutes of monthly General Meetings, Board Meetings and Special Meetings.  In addition, Julie will be responsible for maintaining custody of all reports and documents submitted by the Board and the membership relating to Club members.  We welcome Julie as a new Board Member and wish her much success with her new endeavors in the coming year.

 

 

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