Dear VICL Members,
We are pleased to introduce the new VICL Director: Erik Ackerson!
Originally from Kansas City where he was a professional chef then a
food service territory sales manager, Erik made the Virgin Islands his
home in 1998 taking over the reins as General Manager of Quality
Food Corp. until it was sold last year.
As the current President of the Texas Society of the Virgin Islands, one of the largest and most
popular fundraising events of the year, it has been the community involvement and money raised for
local on-island charities through the annual Chili Cook Off that brings him the greatest satisfaction
and finds him busy during the month of August.

A Water Island resident, Erik is a member of the W.I. Search and Rescue, W.I. Civic Association, Navy
League as well as a Red Cross volunteer.

When not enjoying a swim at Honeymoon Beach, painting watercolors or reading, he is out cutting
back the jungle & beautifying the landscape of the Harbour View Gardens Bed & Breakfast.

A love of the water and sailboats means VICL is a perfect fit for advancing the betterment of the local
charter business in the Virgin Islands.

Meet Erik at the Annual Spring General Membership Meeting and Election on May 5th from 5:00 to
7:00pm at the Place to Be in Paradise Restaurant. Stay tuned for more information about the
surprise raffle! Bring a dish and plan to stay awhile!

Absentee Ballots must be received by May 2nd. Do you have a concern that you would like to discuss
at the meeting? Let us know at info@vicl.org and we'll place it on the agenda.

Please volunteer as a nominee for the VICL Board of Governors. (See form below.) We need every
VICL member- term crewed charter, day sail charter and fishing charter to volunteer their business
talents on the Board. VICL has been a not-for-profit organization run by special people like you since
1968. Please do your part and get involved!
