4 West Palm Beach Fishing Club member news Lifetime Member List Grows Seven people have become lifetime members since our last magazine was published. Steve Rizzo of North Palm Beach joined last sum- mer. “Ireallylikecoming toclub meetings. I’m a Jersey boy, so I especially enjoy the seminars that feature guys like Capt. Greg Bogdan who have experience from up north and down here. I figure it’s one less check I have to write each year too. I’m not planning on going anywhere, so I’m happy to support the club,” said Rizzo who is a regular fishing partner with fellow lifetime WPBFC member Mike Simko. Long- time Silver Sailfish Derby anglers John Duval of Lantana, David Elliott of Delray Beach, and David Kairalla of West Palm Beach all joined for life this January. Kairalla has been a Fishing Club member for nearly 20 years, “I have a lot of respect for the great traditions of the club and the Derby, so becoming a lifetime member was an easy decision for me”, said Kairalla. Carl Lindner, IV of Peebles, Ohio, was a newcomer in the Derby this year, fishing aboard the family boat, Seraphim, who also opted to join for life. David Lybass who recently moved to town from Glastonbury, Con- necticut, has also joined for life. David fishes frequently with fellow lifetime member Bob Frevert. Last November, Sean C. Hynes of Palm Beach Gardens decided to become a WPBFC lifetime member. Since then Sean has been a regular at club meetings and other events. “I’m really into learning more about fishing right now, so you can expect to see me a lot around the clubhouse,” said Hynes who works for the family business Caribbean Pool Service & Repairs. “This growth in lifetime members is reflective of our regu- lar membership growth. The Fishing Club’s membership numbers have been steadily climbing for the past several years, which is a wonderful validation of the many angling programs and community events the club produces. Mem- bership is the life-blood of our organization, so we greatly value the support and active involvement of all our members”, said WPBFC Chairman Pete Schulz. Current WPBFC membership stands at 1,300+, which includes 99 individuals with life member status.
