Mick has announced his retirement from MYC’s Sailability Program. He will be turning 90 in March 2024.
Mick joined the Club as a Senior Family Member in 2004. He is currently listed as an Honorary Member.
In 2005 Mick teamed up with Colin Smith to raise funds for additional Sailability boats and by 2007 raised in excess of $20,000.
He has tirelessly provided volunteer support to Sailability both on and off the water, manned the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle, coordinated funding support from, State and Local Government, as well as Rotary, Lions, private philanthropic organisations and private donors.
He is a long serving member of the Sailability Committee, and for a number of years, was our representative on the Sailability Victoria Committee. Mick also filled the role of MYC Sailability Coordinator for ~5 years, ensuring that all of the Sailability programs (Wednesday, Friday and Sunday) worked consistently together.
Mick undertook the responsibility of Project Managing the replacement of the Disability Ramp servicing Maas Landing 2017/2018.
In more recent times Mick has been instrumental in raising significant donations to the Club from Independence Australia.
To date, these funds have been apportioned to the Club’s new elevator $10,000, new disability changing facilities in the downstairs Club House $15,000, New tractor $5,000 and provisionally towards the new crane $5,000
To sum it up, over his many years with the Club, Mick has made an enormous contribution to MYC Sailability, and has always been the “go to man” that you call upon when you need something done.
To coincide with Mick’s retirement, I believe it would be an appropriate gesture to confirm Life Membership to MYC.
