Happy New Year!  You have undoubtedly used that greeting many times during the past few days as you extended to family members, friends and colleagues your wishes for the best of everything during the new year.  How about helping your board of directors have a happy new year by filling out and sending in your application with a check right now. 


I have heard over the past few years that some of you delay filling out your application because you don't know your registration number and you are waiting until you make a trip to the yacht club to copy it from the boat.  To make things easy for you I have included a spreadsheet that contains all of the data that you submitted last year with you application.  IF THE DATA HAS NOT CHANGED, then you don't have to send it to me again.  Obviously, you need to fill in your name and we need to know which of the fee categories apply to you. Those two areas of information and CHANGED INFORMATION are all that needs to be put on the form.  Of course, don't forget the check.


One of the major challenges that I experience is to maintain a list of current email addresses.  Again, check your email address on the spreadsheet closely and tell me if it is incorrect.  During the year, if/when you change your email address, PLEASE tell me.  As you are aware, the main means of communication within the club is via email and we don't want to miss you. 


While I am on the topic of email addresses, I will explain again several email lists that I maintain for the Club.  I will list them and tell you to whom they pertain.


sailors@bluevalleyyachtclub.org    All members who have given me an address


directors@bluevalleyyachtclub.org   All members of the board of directors


You can also find direct links to the individual members of the board of directors on the Club's website and in each edition of the on-line newsletter. 


In summary, send in you application early so that you can save a few dollars and so that the board of directors can make appropriate financial decisions for the year.


I hope you have a new year filled with great sailing.
