Jon is a freshman at East Carolina University studying Management Information Systems. He is a Unattached Junior member of FBYC. Four years ago he created fbyclaserfleet.tripod.com

It's time to register for the Junior Week programs. Full details are now posted in the Junior Divison on this site and will appear in the March Log. You can download your application forms from the 'Junior Division' page of this site. Space is going to be limited, particularly for those without their own boats. Ruthanna is urging all parents to get your application in as soon as you can.
Site looks Great
I'll be looking into adding the mailing list option. We might have to add a portal and will most likely need the database up and running in order to store all the additional information we will be gathering.
Later
