A great evening reception was held on Sunday, July 30, to honor the members of Fairfield Harbor Yacht Club who have been members for over TWO decades! Please note that one member has been with the club for 39 years!
Twenty years has been a long time: there have been retirements, new grandchildren, new boats, 40 named storms moving through North Carolina, (including several hurricanes) and 5 presidential elections!
According to FHYC Commodore David Phipps, in preparing for the 20 + year reception he went through photograph albums in the club library and was immediately impressed by the long and proud history of the club. Through countless events over many years there were hundreds of photographs that each show dozens of smiling faces. Commodore Phipps says, “We certainly add another wonderful dimension to the good living here in Fairfield Harbour, and as the pictures show, Fairfield Harbour Yacht Club knows how to have fun on the water and ashore.”
Next year marks the 40th anniversary for our club. Over the years these 20+ year members have enjoyed club functions and their participation and contributions have played an essential role in building the club as we know and enjoy it today.
