The demolition phase of Marco Island Yacht Club’s renovation project kicked off in January with a ceremonial sledgehammer wallop in the lobby. MIYC Board of Directors Chairman Dave Everitt, Building and Grounds Committee Chair Geoff Walker along with General Manager Carrie Brooks each took a whack with a sledgehammer at the back lobby wall, which will be eliminated as part of the full gut rehab of MIYC’s 26 year old clubhouse.
