                     Laura Andre           Doris Barrett Matteson

Laura Andre, the daughter of SIYC Members, Jack and Cindy Andre, lives in Washington, DC, but spends almost every weekend at Drum Point at her parents' weekend house. Laura is a junior at the Academy of the Holy Cross in Kensington, Maryland, where she is taking both Advanced Placement and Honors classes. Her favorite classes are Physics, Calculus, and Marine Science. With her current workload, she doesn't have much time for extracurricular activities, but she does spend a number of hours each month involved in community service activities. One of her favorite service activities is helping others learn how to use a computer. She enjoys playing games, scrapbooking, gardening, and swimming, and is also a fairly good sailor.  Laura has helped out on a number of activities at the Yacht Club over the past year, and was very excited when she was selected to be the Club's 2010 Princess.  She enjoys meeting and talking with Club members, and is looking forward to participating in more Club activities over the next year.

Doris was born in Calvert County and has lived all her life here. She attended Solomons Elementary School (which is now part of the Calvert Marine Museum), graduated high school in Prince Fredrick, Maryland, and then attended Blackstone College in Blackstone, Virginia. Doris retired from the State of Maryland Income Tax Division where she was a Revenue Examiner in several field offices.  Her family has a long association with SIYC.  Her father, Daniel Barrett, Sr., was one of the original contributors to the Club. Her brother (P/C Daniel Barrett II) and her nephew (P/C Daniel Barrett III) are both Past Commodores. Doris joined SIYC in 1985, and at the time, the second female member of the Club. She has been very active in the Club, serving on the Board of Governors and on the Membership Committee.
