Our Board of Directors
Meet our Team, we are Passionate about helping everyone learn and enjoy rowing
Mark Heacock
President
Although my interests are many and varied, the most important thing to me in life is my wife Alaine and our family. Alaine and I moved to Palm Coast in 2020 from the Washington, DC Metro Area and find it to be absolute paradise. I am grateful to be retired from a 40-year career as a lawyer
Julie Coolidge
Board Member / Secretary
Julie was first introduced to rowing at a girls’ Catholic high school in Toledo, Ohio. As their teacher, she met and interacted with the students/rowers and was impressed with their strength and dedication. Julie took a Masters Learn-to-Row program with the Toledo Rowing Club a number of years ago, and brought her interest in rowing to Palm Coast when she retired to Florida in 2011.
Phyllis Van Reeth
Board Member/Asst. Treasurer
Phyllis grew up watching the Columbia University rowing team practice on the Hudson River from her grandparents house in upper Manhattan which was directly across the river from the Columbia boathouse. From that experience she always had the dream to learn to row but it wasn’t until she settled permanently in Palm Coast after years of living overseas that the opportunity to fulfil that dream became a reality.
Alaine Donavan
Vice President / Membership Committee Chair
Alaine fell in love with rowing after having taken the Learn to Row class with PCRC in 2021. She is an enthusiastic rower and wants to encourage everyone to try the sport for fitness and fun. She loves being on the water and enjoys both sweep and scull rowing. Most importantly, she is blessed to be a part of this Club comprised of such incredibly wonderful and friendly people.
Midget Morgan
Board Member/Chair Equipment Committee
Shortly after moving to Palm Coast in 2021, my wife Callie was encouraged by PCRC member Terry Habig to attend an ERG class. Callie completed the class and quickly fell in love with the sport of rowing. Not long afterwards I agreed to do the same and also joined PCRC.
