The Flag and the Board of Directors are pleased to announce that Ian and
Marie Blackburn have been named the Members of the Month of August
2013.
Marie is the Treasurer of the First Mates and is very active in that role.
Many times you have seen her with a bucket full of tickets to sell for
various First Mates functions. She is always willing to help with whatever
needs to be done. You can find her in the kitchen anytime there is a meal
to prepare.
Anytime there is outdoor cooking to be done, you will always see Ian right
there with a spatula in hand. He walks the island and if he sees
something to be done, he just does it without being asked.
They both do many things to better the club without looking for recognition
or a pat on the back. One example of this is the merry-go-round by the
kid’s playground. They took their vacation time on the island to completely
redo it, by replacing boards, sanding it completely down and repainting it.
If you haven’t seen it yet, take a walk down by the playground and see
what an awesome job they did. Welcome Ian and Marie to the Order of
The Anchor.
