In November, a new Bridge is voted on and then sworn into office by the Commodore. The following is the Oath of Office these members pledge.
(Commodore)
Please raise your right hand and repeat after me, stating your name where I state mine.
I (state your name) do solemnly promise to pledge
that I will execute the duties to which I have been elected
to the best of my knowledge and ability
and to commit myself
to the by-laws of the Dolphin Yacht Club.
(Commodore)
By the authority vested in me by the Dolphin Yacht Club, I now proclaim you duly installed officers.
Congratulations!
