The Fleet Reserve Club (FRC) is an independent entity, incorporated in the State of Maryland as a non-profit veteran's organization under IRS code 501(c)(19) VET ORG, managed by a board of governors. Veterans of any service are eligible to join as associate members.  They will need a corporate member sponsor and must have DD-214 showing their service.

The FRC is also home for Branch 24 of the Fleet Reserve Association (FRA). The board of governors is elected from the "Corporate Body." The corporate body is defined as those members of Branch 24 who are either on active duty or retired from a sea service (Navy, Marines and Coast Guard) and have had enlisted time. Although sea services veterans can join the FRA and Branch 24 they cannot be corporate members or vote as such.

The Chairman's Message

Well, July has come and gone. I would like to thank Jack & Toni O'Neill, Keith Henderson, Sylvia Wainio, Kevin Spurlin, Ed McGrath, and of course our own Texas Steak Larry and his number one helper Kim, and the staff of the FRC for the wonderful food and setting up for what turned out to be the best 4th of July Party ever held at the Fleet. A fun time was had by all.

The Fleet is still the best place in Annapolis to come have a bite to eat and drink and enjoy a wonderful friendship with others. The deck is still a great place to meet and greet and enjoy the many boats plying Ego Alley. Hope to see many of our new members this month having a good time and, as always, our staff is here to make sure our members are served the best food in town.

Brian's Blotter

August is here, and it's vacation time for many. Don't forget to stop by the Fleet for a meal before taking on the Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore! Better yet, have dinner at the Fleet Friday night and head to the beach on Saturday!

Enjoy our beautiful lower and upper decks in August for boat watching, drinking and dining!

Summer Brunch is from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm every Sunday. Enjoy an omelet and Bloody Mary on the deck!

We're having another Lobster Dinner Night on Wed, Aug 18, for $29.95 per person. Call for reservations by Fri, Aug 13.

Mark your calendar for the annual Fleet Reserve Branch 24 picnic on Sat, Oct 2, from 12:00 Noon to 5:00 pm, at the Bay Room at Greenbury Point at the North Severn Naval Base in Annapolis.

Thanks to all the volunteers who worked the Fourth of July dinner. Also, thanks go to our Steak Dinner Night Crew for all their hard work! Don't miss out on this month's $12 Steak Dinner Night on Aug 22 from 4:00-8:00 pm with live music.

Going Green News: We try hard to help our environment at the Fleet. Following is an update of our progress.

• We have eliminated the use of polystyrene foam containers, such as coffee cups and soup cups. Not only are they bad for the environment, but toxic chemicals can also leak into the food. Our paper cups and bowls are recyclable, biodegradable & safer.
• Our fish pond is filled with diverted fresh rain water when "mother nature" allows!
• We recycle ink cartridges, light bulbs, paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, tin and plastic.
• We use low watt light bulbs & compact fluorescent lighting.
• The FRA Branch 24 has adopted St. Margarets Road for several years now, and picks up the litter there.
