Blair is not only a long time member of the Club, but as one of the ubiquitous Beggan Clan, she is a second generation member who literally grew up in the Club.</p> <p>Early on, Blair was an outstanding member of the MVYC Swim Team who set many longstanding records and served as the consistent annual  icebreaker to inaugurate the pool with its first splash on Opening Day  an apparently hereditary position recently assumed by Blair s daughter Grace. More recently, however, Blair has put in countless hours as the Production Editor of our monthly newsletter, The Beacon. While Bart Hewitt may snap the deadline whip at the many contributing writers and diligently correct their prose, it is Blair s quiet and artistic efforts that puts the articles to into vivid existence and creates the wonderful publication that we look forward to each month. </p> <p>More than just a monthly newsletter to our members, with its posting on our web site the Beacon serves as the Club s face and its voice to the public and potential new members. Each month, Blair creates that personality and breathes life into the words and pictures that make us who we are to the world and to each other. Whether you hold the Beacon in your hand or read it on your computer, it is the result of Blair s tireless and magical efforts. For this and all else that she does, and has done, to make MVYC such a wonderful place to be a part of, our greatest thanks and appreciation to Distinguished Volunteer Blair Beggan. </p> <br /> </div> <div style="height:2px;">&nbsp;</div> </div> <div id="mid_content"> <h1>Welcome to the Mount Vernon Yacht Club Website!</h1> <p>This purpose of our site is to pass club information to members and to provide information to the public regarding the club, its activities, and its membership. </p> <p>Mount Vernon Yacht club is located at the confluence of Dogue Creek and the Potomac River in Mount Vernon, Virginia.
