Ft Myers Offshore awards $ 12,000 in student scholarships
The Board of Directors of Ft Myers Offshore, Inc. ( FMO ) is pleased to announce the awarding of over $12,000.00 in student scholarships in keeping with the clubs mission statement. This is a record breaking amount for FMO, with 8 area students benefiting from the clubs student scholarship program this year.
The recipients are Tania Saade, Yenny Ramirez-Lee, Bailey Quinn and Laura Heben from Collier County as well as Krista McAlloose, Viktor Mak, Rebekah Foster and Esteban Arturo from the Lee County, FL school system.
We would like to thank the club membership for your continued support, our sponsors, the students and teachers who got involved as well as a special thank you to FMO director John Wilkinson ( OSO Specialized ) who heads up the scholarship committee. Everyone should feel very proud in doing what they can to further the educational goals of these young students.
We are looking forward to another great season in the waters of SW Florida when our schedule resumes in October.
Thank you kindly,
The Board of Directors, Ft Myers Offshore, Inc.
Bob Barnhart, Dan Davies, Hans Haedelt, Tom Cullen, John Wilkinson,, Joe Rutter and Jay Forbes

Bob and crew,
That's fantastic! Way to go and congrats!
That's what it's all about.
Bob and FMO are one of the classiest, coolest, and most fun boating clubs around and I'm thankful to have had the pleasure of running with these guys a good number of times. I look forward to doing it again soon!

Thank you all for the kind comments. I'm sure I speak for our entire 7 member Board of Directors when I say that. It is a fun group to be a part of and has been interesting to see this regional Club grow from a few guys getting together 5 years ago to 140 members with about 50 boats currently. We welcome visitors to the area in season when the club has any one of it's 6 fun runs between October and May.
Again, thanks.
Bob
