Reports:
Commodore - no report
Vice-Commodore - no report
Rear Commodore - Bob reported that the work day was a success. Eleven men and four women came out. They were able to get the dock back in place and cleaned up the grounds.
Treasurer - nothing to report, but a discussion ensued regarding late payments of dues. We do need to set a policy for people who have a lapse of several years and then renew their membership.
Secretary - Diane needs articles for the next newsletter. She plans to publish at the end of Oct. There will be a final issue in Nov. or early Dec. to cover the end of the season and Annual Meeting
.
Racing - Ken reported that there were 6 entries in the last race of the season. The racing year is officially over.
Social - The Pig Roast was an unqualified success. The Corps charged us $25 for the use of the Corps’ shelter. Hibachi Hut has been paid for their catering. Since the pig roast no longer involves roasting a pig, it was suggested we call the event the Annual BBQ. So far Jane has spent close to $900 for the year. She plans to hold an event in Oct., maybe something like an ice cream social.
The Annual Meeting is scheduled for Nov. 19th at the Clarion. People were happy with the food and service last year, so we’ll go there again. She will put the meal selections out on the web soon and ask for RSVPs.
New Business
The Port-a-Pot should not have to be serviced again for the year because the water rose again and activities have been suspended. Crespino advised that things could get busy as soon as the water recedes, so he will check on the port-a-pot and keep John informed. Oct. can be one of the busiest sailing months.
Another Buoy. It was moved, seconded and passed that we increase the Racing Budget to buy a 3rd buoy. The approved budgeted amount is $345, but not more than $400.
New boat. We need a dinghy of some sort with a motor to help maneuver the docks. A small pontoon boat could meet our need for dock work and a Committee boat. Early spring would be a good time to put our current Committee boat on Craig’s list. We will keep an eye out for a suitable boat.
