FBYC Marine Returning to Iraq

Lud Kimbrough on Sunday January 9, 2005 08:49AM

FBYC member Parke Smith, of Weapons Company (3rd Battalian - 4th Marines) has been dispatched for his second deployment in Iraq. Parke has helped out countless times with Race Committee and other FBYC duties, and was sorely missed last summer while he was in Iraq.

We can do two things for Parke's Company, which is dreadfully short on the supplies they need. First, we can help them buy the supplies they need by contributing to SuppliedToSurvive, a Texas organization started by the father of one of the men in Parke's company. Contributions made to Supplied To Survive may be sent via FBYC member Preston Smith or directly to 317 S FRIENDSWOOD DRIVE, FRIENDSWOOD , TX 775465, Phone: (281) 992-1500, Toll …

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Race full on into 2005!

Kudos to Southern Bay Junior Programs: Just nice to note that the southern Bay is hosting significant USODA (Opti) events. How about this: The second USODA National Championship in the southern Chesapeake will be hosted this coming July at Norfolk Yacht and Country Club. The first was hosted by Hampton Yacht Club when the 1999 Opti Nationals were sailed right off Strawberry Banks. And, Fishing Bay Yacht Club, just this past October, hosted the Atlantic Coast Championships for the Optis. Three major events in 6 years - not bad! Kudos to all those parents, friends and hard working volunteers who are steering our southern Bay …
