Distinguished Volunteers
Deck replacement, painting, plumbing repair, grounds cleanup, fuel dock duty, TGIF host, you name it and Ernie's probably in the thick of it, quietly getting it done. During the rebuild, reconfiguration and re-decking of the floating docks in 2005-2006, Ernie's uncountable hours of hard work and expertise were of inestimable value. He recently took the lead in repairing water pipes damaged by our harsh winter and in a flash, it was done! Ernie spent a Sunday afternoon recently installing and adjusting the new full-length lift gates into the parking lot. And when he's not at MVYC, he's probably doing the same kind of chores at the "Boat Club" as he refers to his other beloved hang out, Old Dominion Boat Club. Even though Ernie is on the Board at the Boat Club serving as House Chair, he still manages to get things done at MVYC. When it comes to volunteers, Ernie is the quintessential member of the team he just shows up and does what needs to be done, no fuss, no muss (unless, of course, you count the tools and parts he manages to drop into the creek). Although tools may be lost, MVYC is a winner with Ernie working on site. Committee Chairs take note if you have an upcoming project, make sure Ernie Dauray knows about it, it'll be finished before you know it. Next time you see Ernie, please say thanks for his contributions to the club.
