1. Re:
a proposal that the Ship with the support of BVYC plans and hosts a
Youth Regatta some time in the May/June timeframe. Ken moved that BVYC agrees with the concept and that Henry should
continue with the planning with the understanding that Henry or Marti (Ottenheimer)
give BVYC more definite information on finance support requirements. Sean seconded the motion; all approved.
2. Re: Kansas Sea Base during period August 15 – 17. Ken moved that BVYC finance an extra porta-potty in support of Kansas Sea Base. Sean seconded the motion; all approved.
3. Re: Inviting of Scouts to BVYC social events. Sean agreed to send the Ship an invitation before each event.
4. Re: Blue Valley Yacht Club Sail Training Foundation. Henry briefly explained the concept. All agreed that further discussion and possible decision should be delayed until a later Board meeting.
In general, all present agreed that they were pleased with the relationship with the Ship and that BVYC would continue to support scout activities.
Shelter completion – floor design: John explained several concepts for adding decorative impressions to the cement flooring in the new shelter. Since pouring of the floor will not be done within the next month or two, all agreed to discuss this item at a later Board meeting.
